Hehehe, well I'm very glad to meet a normal Californian! I have to admit my experience is limited though, I've only been to San Francisco twice, a week at a time and about four years apart. And in any world, San Francisco isn't exactly the capital of normal.
Maybe it's just the area around L.A. (where the show took place) that has the abnormally high population of people like that. Maybe the sun baking miles and miles of film tape lets off some weird psychotropic chemical that makes them think they need the work. And I know exactly what you mean by face lifts looking creepy. One woman on the show today got one and all I could notice in the after shots was how one eyebrow was higher than the other, like it was in a permanent Skeptic!Scully arch. *shudders*
Personally, I'm okay with plastic surgery to an extent. I think that as long as you do it for yourself to make you feel better about yourself, as weird as I may think you look after, that's not as bad. Don't think I could ever see myself having any face work done. I've lived for 23 years with this nose, I've rather grown to like it, bump and all. ;)
"Now mommy can go out and do more things!" Oy. Freaking. Vey. Big boobs do not equal fun. Big boobs equal back pain, bras that look like they were used in the middle ages to hurl rocks into walls, marks from said bra all over your skin...etc. Small breasted people don't know how lucky they have it. Personally, I'd like to be able to swing a baseball bat without those things getting in the way.
*Sigh* Silly people. If they had their way we'd all be 5'8", size 0, with a 34D chest and straight blonde hair. Well, too bad to them. *grins* Cheers to all our differences! *raises glass*
