This resulted from gangrene where the blood supply was cut off from parts of the foot. A horrible way to die.

@ Hisham: “I think they are feeling great with it” – looking at the photos, and reading about what these women endured in order to achieve these looks, I wouldn’t be so sure about the “feeling great” part.

It has inspired me and I will plan on writing a post like this (my site it on beauty, inner and outer, media, etc). The only thing I can think of that women do today that are "suffering" are plastic surgery, but I'm sure I can dig deeper in and find out more craziness. (I heard about a Brazilian hair straightening technique where some women have become disabled because of the fumes? I can only vaguely remember). Anyways, awesome post as usual. I've been a lurker for a while now and decided it's time to show my face :) Great post!

Our latest and most famous example of a beautiful woman (who goes to the trouble to heighten her beauty) punched in the face by a bloke, none other than singer Rhianna. Who would have thought such a beautifully presented woman would be degraded and treated thus. I'm damn sure that was not her intention when making herself up to look even more gorgeous. If any bloke is worth plumping for it is he who accepts a woman for her natural beauty first and then whatever add ons she decides upon for herself. I have contemplated plastic surgery but decided against due to the expense and risk factors primarily and because my better judgement tells me don't bother.
