Have a question for the ones who say something like 'natural beauty, no surgeries'.
I'm going to be going in sometime in the next year-ish to get my underbite fixed. It's mostly a functional surgery, but I would be lying if I said there weren't also notable cosmetic aspects to it.
How would you consider something like that?
So the question is not directed at me personally, because I do not mind anybody doing any cosmetic surgery on themselves, because its their body. And because some aging effects really change the perception of your moods (permanent wrinkles between eyebrows look like a constant frown, falling eylids make your eyes very small and mean sometimes) - very careful tinkering is even an admirable thing in my book. I wish, more people would be honest about this and would not give false hopes and impressions.
I know of a friend who had her nose fixed due to a medical problem - but in the course she also had it made slightly smaller and more straight. It looked very good and she had to have done a procedure anyway - so why not? First of all: It might be ... anatomically better for you (sorry, not native english speaker. that sounds... weird). Second of all: It might also be nice for your self esteem, because you get to see happy, pretty people all the time in media products and we barely can help being imprinted by that. Go for it and good luck with the surgery.
On the topic: I always wondered, why eye color plays any role for so many people - in my ID card it says i have 3 eye colors and not one dominates. It never played a role for me in other people and I really do not get it. If people have extremely piercing eyes, I notice that, too, of course. I am a girl and not bi, but i really, really enjoy women (and men) who wear their personal beauty with pride. Especially fellow goth people. Like very thin corsetted burtonesk people to broad, majestic victorian dames and lordlings ; ) . I like to watch people, who move with personality and feel comfortable with themselves. And tons and tons of nice combinations from very quiet and mousy but shyly pretty to exorbitantly well done drag... I probably like anything that does not look careless. At one point I would have said i don't like tans and bleached blonde - but even there i have seen stunningly beautiful people.
