or AIBU?

jeez how is she not overbalancing! or suffering chronic back ache? she's only 5ft!

surely people who are prepared to go to such extremes are deeply unhappy and have low self esteem? what other reason can there be for wanting to look like you have a couple of footballs attached to you? Do blokes find it sexy when they are so obviously fake?

6 pages of criticism of and jokes about a woman who no one here even knows. I could start a rant about how utterly tasteless and cruel this thread is but what would be the point? Sigh.

rough as a badger's bum IMO. It's hard not to feel sorry for her though. Anyone who elects to actually pay to look like an inflated plastic parody must be deeply motivated by self hatred.

zzzzz I have a problem with breast implants generally tbh. It seems totally bizarre and ridiculous to have an operation when you are totally healthy.

I think if someone has a mastectomy it is different. But purely for cosmetic reasons I have a problem with it.

I agree with you totally re the too small too big nonsense we are constantly fed. It is this which messes with self esteem and makes people think there is a problem with their body. We are the size we are.

I realise others disagree will disagree but that's my opinion.

"I always wanted to be flat chested. Don't think I could stomach being larger than E cup."

^ This was my comment. It was about me. Not a comment on what other people should like or be. It may explain why I don't easily relate to (the obvious very large number of ) women who want big boobs or at least bigger boobs. It seems like many or even most women are actively insecure about their breasts, that's a shame.

I still find boobs shaped like balloons to be odd and I struggle to understand the appeal of deliberately making them like that.

Yet isn't it great we're all different? Life would be so boring if we weren't.

Who has the right to take a wider society view on one woman's body.

Not one of us. And not one of us would like it if it were done to us.

Her self esteem is a matter for her and her alone and none of us have any actual information as to the amount of it she has

Topaz25 · 05/07/2014 15:33

It's not my place to judge her appearance so long as she's happy with it, I'm just concerned it could cause her health problems.

Tommy · 05/07/2014 15:35

I'm more at her claiming to be 34.....

Coumarin · 05/07/2014 16:08

Me too Tommy

Meh. She looks happy with them.

Tell you what though, she needs to check out the Style n Beauty bra intervention threads. There's no way she's a 30 back.

lljkk · 05/07/2014 16:20

That's funny, I thought she looked insecure & uptight. Funny how we see faces differently.

Coumarin · 05/07/2014 16:27

I see what you mean lljkk The last few pics are a bit strained.

I'm on my phone so the pics are very small.

Presumably she must be happy with them though, or she'd have them taken out.

whatsallthisthe · 05/07/2014 16:37

Well, if the lady in question were walking down the street minding her own business wearing a top and NOT in a national newspaper for some reason, then no one would be really commenting on the following:
what she has decided to do to her body
which newspaper she has agreed to do pics for
whether her upper chest were natures bounty/
how damaged/confident/normal her self esteem was
One would take a glance, possibly think "Goodness me" then go about your business.
In about 5 mins she would be gone from your mind.
You would not be thinking "Gosh I need to make rude remakrs about women with big boobs and how much I dislike/like/adore them.
Please, people, cop on to yourselves here

Suzannewithaplan · 05/07/2014 16:43

Presumably she must be happy with them though, or she'd have them taken out

I'd imagine that she's just glad of the publicity, I expect she see's the daily mail as prestigious...a bit 'highbrow'

fredflintstonesister - IMO if someone does that to themselves then parades it in a national paper, they are fair game. She wants attention. Not all of it will be good attention. Same for anyone else who parades their body, or their parenting choices, or their opinions about their schools treatment of our poor Jonny etc etc. in the national media. Countless threads about such on here. If anyone knows her or indeed she is an MNer it would actually be interesting to have responses to some of the various genuine questions asked. Many of us are simply wondering what has gone wrong to make people think they need to do this, or that peoples value is measured by their looks.

whatsallthisthe · 05/07/2014 16:53

wonder how much she pocketed? Bet it won't be worth the arse ache she and her kids will be looking forward to now.

Suzannewithaplan · 05/07/2014 16:56

she's just after the free publicity, she wants more fans to pay for her pictures, or perhaps she's hoping to be offered some work as an actress/model?

PhaedraIsMyName · 05/07/2014 17:35

If she's happy to put herself in the public eye for no reason other than she has paid to have 2 beach balls grafted on to her and if she's happy to charge £35 for topless photos then I think it's fair game to comment.

I think she looks awful. It's not in the least bit attractive.

PhaedraIsMyName · 05/07/2014 17:43

MN has taught me that a lot of (probably most?) women tie their self esteem up with the size of their breasts.

Really? I can safely say my self-esteem has never had anything to do with the size or shape of my breasts. I've been on MN about 6 months and I would be very surprised if anything other than a tiny proportion of members felt that way.

whatsallthisthe · 05/07/2014 18:20

my breasts have nothing to do with my self esteem, nor my behind, etc. I get upset with my hair...which is vanity, not self esteem in my mind. THough once, a girl in the hairdressers (very pretty, petite, young etc) had quite a nice boob job or good bra and I felt an intense desire to just rest my head on them. like a wee shelf. looked very restful. this may not be something other people think. it was just the once. i'd had a long day.
