my sister had the eyeliner tattooed on. it's okay on the upper lid, but i don't like liner on the lower lid, just mascara, and it does look kinda harsh on her lower lid. we are fair and blonde. perhaps lower lids look better with eyeliner if you have darker eyes/skin. i think we look like raccoons :)
when i wear eyeliner, i do it on the underside of my upper lids, just below the lash line.

I've already had my plastic surgery, and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was a 42E at 16, so at 18, they reduced me to a 36C - the proper size for my frame. I wanted to go around braless all the time, I still can't but MAN am I ever proportioned now!!! lol

OK... First of all.. for all those of you considering the eyeliner/eyebrow tatooeing...

BEWARE!!!
There are trace amounts of iron in the ink they use for those and it can cause sever burning if you ever have to get an MRI.

I worked at an imaging office and we had this same discussion. I was the one who wanted it done and that's how I found out!

As for my dream list...

Lasik
Boob Lift
Lipo under the chin
Lipo on my cheeks (I still have "baby fat" cheeks and because of that I tend to get dark shadows under the eyes)
Eyebrow lift
Zoom
Porcelin veneers


Yep.. that ought to do it... :)

Tishala, can I have the rest of your toes? Mine are little short sausages, I'm surprised I can stand up.

This thread is too much fun!

My dream list:

Boob job
Lipo my "saddlebags"
Botox to the furrow between my eyebrows
Nose job although very minor
Teeth Whitening

That's it...I think.

Hey Tex... it's a dream list... I would never apply for the show in the first place and frankly I don't think I "need" any of it (except maybe the boob lift)... Hey.. you try luggin' around full DD's for 18 years and see if they don't fall!!!

I like who I am and what I look like!!!

no..no..no..faery, not your list, but the MRI info!!! heck, did you see my list? LOL

Faery, may I ask...what is a "zoom?" I've never heard of that one.

LOL @ Tex!!! Oh!!! Yeah.. I was pretty shocked when I heard it too??? I found out because I heard the Tech doing th pre-eval and thqt was on of her questions... so I asked why it was important. Very scary! And something I'm SURE they don't tell you when you ask to have it done!

I saw your list -- the only one I was leary of was the botox... the whole concept of putting a kind of poison in your forehead to paralyze th berves that make the wrinkles.. kind freaks me out! :)

Eliz... Zoom is that whitening process with the funny light to make your teeth "Hollywood" white. :)

I don't consider Lasiks plastic surgery. Yes, Eliz, I they can do astigmatism.

Faerygdds, what kind of MRI do you have?

My dream list:
Something to even out the skin color on my face. Too much sun in my youth for a fair person.
And a magic wand to shrink up all my skin after I lose the weight I hope to lose.
Surgery, uh uh no way.

I didn't have an MRI.. I worked for an imaging company that had a ultra high speed CT scan (not the issue) and an open MRI. Open MRIs also (FYI) use less magnetic resonance which is what causes the possible irritation and burning. So a standard CLOSED MRI would be significantly worse.

Faery, I have an MRI scheduled on the 21st - what's the difference between a closed vs open MRI? I've been in the tube before - is that a closed?

Just when I think I am being clear. I wanted to know what brand of MRI, CT etc you have as I lease MRIs, CTs etc. Just professional curiosity.

Oprah's show this Thursday is "Behind Extreme Makeovers". I think I'll wait on my wish list until after the show, lol.

My mother-in-law has permanent eye liner and has the raccoon eye look now. She has dark brown eyes and hair. She had a lot of trouble with runny eyes for quite some time after she had it done.

You know, if I'd tried to make a list at the beginning of this thread, it would have been pretty short. Now after reading everyone's ideas, I want the works:

Lipo on the belly - all the women in my family, no matter how slim look slightly pregnant.

Get my teeth straightened and whitened.

Lasik!

Might as well start pulling back the chin before it turns into double chin, it's nearly there.

I will probably need an eye lift anyway. My grandma's eyes were so droopy she couldn't even see. She had to get an eyelift for necessity, not vanity.

Put my boobs back where they belong.

However, I've watched Extreme Makeover and there's no way I'd go through all that.

Gidget: I don't remember the brands of MRI and CT.. sorry... it's been a few motnths since I worked there and I just can't seem to recall. Frustratin since I can see the little plaquards in my head, but I can't read them.. UGH... sometimes I HATE a phtographic memory!


Carrie: As for the difference between opened and closed. The tube is closed. Open is more of a flat bed with a huge... ummm...

well.. it's 2 discs that you slide between, so there is less claustrophobia(sp?). Imagine and english muffin split in two with a popsicle stick that slides between the two sides. That's kind of what ours looked like. Only in big human sizes. :)

I found the names online... when I saw them I rememered them. I couldn't sleep it was bugging me so much!

The Open MRI is called the Airis II. The CT was an EBCT Imatron (I thought so, but it just didn't sound right to me).

Whew... now my brain can rest and I can sleep!

Faerygodds I feel terrible keeping you awake. I hate that tip of the tongue feeling. I deal primarily in Siemens equipment though I sometimes finance third party. We have a new MRI coming out that can do a 6'9" human full scan without changing coils. I love this techie stuff even tho I'm a number cruncher.

Don't worry about it Gidget... you didn't keep me up... my obsessive compulsive need to remember what I what was fuzzy!

Last week the same thing happened when my Mother asked me the name of the movie we saw with Emma Thompson where Robin Williams played in it. I was stumped because I couldn't remember them being in a film together. Couldn't sleep until I IMDB'd it!!! So don't worry.. it's not you... it's totally me! :)

Hmmm...this provides a lot of insight into each of you!

I would have to go for electrolysis over large areas of my body. :) I mean, when you're 14 years old and you start shaving you think "Cool!" but then when you're 30 and hair is growing places you don't want it, it kinda sucks! :)
