What I learned from Tyra

I hate Tyra Banks.
So why am I addicted to her show?

All these scrawny 18 year olds who think that the most important thing in the world is to look beautiful - and to look more beautiful than the other 12 girls in the room. I am disgusted by their anguish over a nose that isn't quite as small or as straight as they want. I am astonished that they think they should win just because they want it so much.

And I am pondering plastic surgery, myself. I may allow someone to cut me open, readjust tissues, and insert drains that I will have to clean for a month while the scar slowly heals, and then feel pains for a year while nerves regenerate awkwardly.

And it is because of vanity. And because I want so much to win, and this surgery may be a symbol to me of winning. I want a breast again. I want to be balanced.
