Exclamation What do people think of this?

I don't quite know whether to be outraged or not! I think the line 'dreamed up at a stag party' is very telling though ...

Default The website

...was featured in Alex Kuczynski's "Beauty Junkies" (BTW a fascinating read, i'd recommend it wholeheartedly).

The fact that girls a willing to do that says a lot about the pressure they're under to meet this "criteria" of ideal beauty.

I'm not sure what to think of it either. It's probably not as bad as the author of that blog is making it out to be but I don't think I'd do it.

However. I also think it's sort of a good idea :S whoever made it up.. both parties get what they want and it's not really harming anyone. These women will probably post these pictures elsewhere anyway.

I think this says a lot about society's ideals for women and the pressure to conform to them.

These women probably would post the pictures elsewhere in a desperate bid for attention. I heard on the news a while back that a staggering number of young women consider fame to be a top priority in their lives, and think that taking their clothes off is an easy path to fame and fortune a la Jordan & co. Plus they see the attention women get from men in lad's mags ( ) and try to outdo each other in the 'slut stakes'.

I wish more women would realise that sexiness can be achieved whilst still retaining your dignity, power and self-worth.

We've all got boobs - it's what you do with them that counts! ;-)

I feel sorry for the women that so desperate for a boob job that their being exploited by these websites!given there are alot of them using it to launch glamour careers but I'm sure theres also the few that feel so low and so bad about their breasts that they feel that is the only route to go down

I would have thought that people who were guniunely deeply unhappy about the size of their bust would be very very unlikely to display themselves naked!

It doesn't make sense to show off the one part of your body that you are most unhappy with.

Or am I using too much logic....?

Love, Hugs and Strawberries,

I heard about this on the radio... It makes me sad to think that some young girls will have also heard about it, thought, "Wowza, what a mega idea!" and are now just waiting til the minute they turn 18 to post their pictures there...

On a par with the Reality TV show where they're giving away organs...

The kidney thing was exposed as a publicity stunt to highlight the lack of organ donors. Apparently they're not actually going to do it.

Love, Hugs and strawberries,

Jolly good... Awareness raised, media hyped, and hubbub bubbed. So back to speaking of breasticles for free...

(Angel, I do like that you give everybody strawberries when you post! Most delicious! An attempt to highlight the thousands of strawbs' rotting away in the fields due to lack of pickers?? *eats a strawberry!*)
