okay, let me just rant for a second. i should not even be giving this show attention, but it pisses me off. This past week, E! aired a new show called Bridalplasty, in which 12 brides compete for a dream wedding and a total body PLASTIC SURGERY makeover. I get the wedding, that’s cool. Weddings are expensive and getting someone to sponsor your dream wedding would be sweet. But a full body plastic surgery makeover? Are you shitting me? I don’t think I have ever heard of a show that is more demoralizing than this. What is this show teaching girls? To cut apart their entire bodies to increase their self-esteem? That’s insane. I’m not against one or two plastic surgeries—it’s your body, whatever. But do we have to all go Heidi Montag here?
To the women on this show—you already got the man you want to marry, why are you looking to change the woman he fell in love with? Yes, he hopefully fell in love with WHO you are and not WHAT you LOOK like, but he’s accepted you for everything you are, loves you, wants to be with you, and thinks you’re beautiful. And if he doesn’t, you shouldn’t be with him anyway babygirl. And if you are changing yourself because YOU are not happy with your image, well, I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but a bunch of knives and stitches will not change that. That has to come from within.
Get off this TV Show and go work on loving yourselves.

Dr. Mengele’s Victim:
Why One Auschwitz Survivor Avoided Doctors for 65 Years
Sixty-five years ago, infamous Auschwitz doctor Josef Mengele removed Yitzhak Ganon’s kidney without anesthesia. The Greek-born Jew swore never to see a doctor again — until a heart attack last month brought his horrific tale into the open.
He is a thin man. His wine-red cardigan is a little too big, and his legs are like matchsticks in his brown pants. Yitzhak Ganon takes care of himself. He’s freshly shaven, his white mustache neatly trimmed. The 85-year-old sits on a gray sofa, with a cushion supporting his back. He is too weak to stand by himself, but he still greets a guest in German: “Guten Tag.”
Speaking is hard for him. “Slowly, Abba,” his daughter Iris says, and brings him a glass of water. Her father has never in his life complained of any pain, she says.
Klimt: “Life and Death,” HC
My dog gets very solemn when he wakes up from a nap. He just stares at me and gives me his paw over and over, then I lean in and hug him and he is very still. I am going to withdrawal when I’m at school. :(
possible solution: bring curtis to dc!
