Plastic, it seems, is no longer fantastic. Even Hollywood, that factory of artifice, is demanding a return to reality when it comes to women’ s bodies.
Disney Studio’ s recent casting call for female extras for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film included a surprise announcement; "Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants. "Surgically enhanced breasts might still be considered sexy or essential by airhead starlets and models, but the new buzzword in America is "authenticity". That’ s why, for women in the public eye, having fake breasts is looking increasingly less like a career move and more like career suicide. Another indication that fake breasts are going bust is the fact that television shows such as Extreme Makeover and The Swan (TV which promised to nip and tuck ordinary women into goddesses) have been cancelled, while statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that the number of breast enlargements in America fell from 365,000 to 312,000 last year.
In many surveys, research has shown that the larger the breasts, the more stupid a woman is considered to be. Other women, meanwhile, consider women with large breasts as a threat—so having a surgical enhancement is a lose-lose situation. Chantelle Houghton (from Big Brother remember her?) almost immediately regretted getting implants to boost her chest and admits that they were "taking over her life" , and she had to resort to physiotherapy to deal with the back pain they caused. Even Sharon Osborne, voted the queen of nip and tuck, said recently: "I wish I’d never had my breasts done. It’ s like having a waterbed on your chest. I hate them. I want to have the bags taken out—then I’ ll put them on eBay. "
The more stories we hear like this the better, because then perhaps young women will realize that large breasts aren’ t the assets they think they are—or Hollywood has made them out to be.
