But Breast reduction is usually done for medical purposes. So I don't count that as a procedure she had done for vanity reasons.

I boycotted this show.

And if it comes back, I will refuse to watch it again.

What do these women tell their children when their own daughters come up to them, complaining about their looks?

"Dear, you are a beautiful girl. Don't let those bullys torment you. You are beautiful on the inside." etc.

Instead, mommy teaches them that happiness is only a knife cut away. And big boobs make you beautiful.

The only thing that they should have done is diet, exercise, dental work (maybe they missed out on braces as kids, or have lost a few along the years), and teach them hair & dressing skills.

/me climbs down off her soap box.

Thanks for the compliment Rupertbear . I’ll tiptoe carefully into the dark waters of this discussion again and say that any guy with an ounce of intelligence should be able to tell the difference between real and fake. You see the fake ones generally don’t match the rest of the body so they stand out (in some cases literally!). Certainly not a look that appeals to me.

With respect to men and general opinion, they recently had a contest on a “mens” radio station up here in Canada where guys voted for “The Top 50 Babes of All Time” (their contest and description, not mine). Well Pamela Anderson finished second overall (certainly not my choice), but third place went to Halle Berry and first place went to Shania Twain! I’m happily surprised to see that some Canadian guys have more taste than I would have thought.

Back to the subject of the Swan – gosh I wish people (men and women) wouldn’t be so shallow and place so much emphasis on physical appearance. You see it over and over again throughout life and on TV. I’m always so happy to see a reasonably attractive person with exceptional qualities become popular and break the mold (Ruben, Clay and Rupert are three that come to mind).

With all due respect, Jim, I don't agree. I spent a lot of time coaching my last BF so that he could tell real from fake at-a-glance. He did NOT know that there were so many fake fake fake's out there. (And note, this was all in fun. It was not intended to be disrespectful to anyone.) He actually liked being able to tell the difference in those who were not so obvious about it.

There will always be men who don't look above the chest. Those men think that's what they want, but they soon find out it's not really all that and more. Fantasy, my friends... they live in their own little fantasy lives.

Just like these Swan contestants.

Well ... now I'm sitting here with a smile on my face. That's very funny. It's nice you found a hobby that you both could enjoy (sorry couldn't resist!).

Seriously, it sounds like you have a great sense of humour and perspective on life. That's the kind of attitude that I think my wife has (and hopefully that I have too).

I agree about Kate Hudson, but I think the hands down most beautiful woman ever, who gets MORE beautiful every year for some reason, is Michelle Pfieffer.

Maybe because we females all have the aforementioned appendages is why it is so much easier for us to recognize a fake set at thirty paces.

Well Jim....Shania is a national treasure to many Canadians. I don't have any of her music personally but she certainly can sing. And her story is definitely a rags to riches one.

I think many Canadian men would choose her because all her videos do her justice, looks-wise. She is attractive, sexy but still somehow holds on to that girl-next-door allure.

Pammy...well, she's also Canadian but has made her fortune through artificial looks alone. Maybe she is the testosterone-driven youthful males idea of the ideal woman. While I think she is a nice person in her everyday life, personally I find her look over the top and hard-looking.

I think the stars from way back in the mists of time were really beautiful. One who comes to mind is Maureen O'Hara. She's in her 80s now but still retains a beautiful glow. Something I think that comes from inside a person.

Actually Pammy just got her US citizenship last week.

I think Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls) is adorable and natural.

I want to take a minute to thank you ladies who listed who you believe are beautiful women.

I agree with everyone of your choices. Is it not amazing how we as women see this in a totally different manner than most Men.

I broke down and asked my husband who he would say was sexy and he could not just pick one. Now-a-days he said it is Catherine Zeta-Jones {because she is curvy, he hates boney boney women like Lara Flynn Boyl}. The other is someone who has long passed. He said there will never be anyone as Sexy as Rita Heyworth. {Both of his choices I would have to agree with though.}
