@ D: “We’re all about making our own choices in bodily mutilation these days.” Haha funny but I guess also sad.

I think the issues you mention were, if not far worse, then far more obvious back then than they are today.

Most ads today don’t come out and tell you that you’re doing something wrong before they sell you something to fix it. We’re all about making our own choices in bodily mutilation these days.

Vered – I’m always fascinated by your finesse to pick a subject that creates a vibrant community. As you’ve articulated, everything new has been old under the sun.

@ hyrcan: Foot binding is barbaric. Some say that it’s no worse than modern plastic surgery, but since foot binding turned women into handicapped, I think the comparison can only go so far.

@ Ellen: Striving for perfectionism always backfires.

Hi Vered,

I used to want a cute little perfect nose. I had a “friend” when I was around thirteen (just the time I should have been turning into a feminist!) tease me about my ski slope nose.

And anyway, isn’t your nose part of your face? I wonder who invented this get-up. It reminds me of that thing Hannibal Lector wore on his mouth.

Sadly being unhappy with the way our bodies look goes much farther back than a mere 100 years. Foot Binding And the "why" behind things like this are, in most cases, the same.

In the background, I’m developing Life Balance tools and resources that I one day will sell online. As I contemplate my marketing pitch, I struggle with promoting my products authentically without manipulating emotions and vulnerabilities. Thanks for pointing this out.

Enjoy your time w/ family!!!
