Everyone Loves To Get A Boob Job!

For Real Housewives and porn stars, it's practically part of their professions. Sexy banker had two of them in hopes of transforming herself into "Tits on a stick." But it seems that everyone in America is into boob jobs...except maybe when they get four breasts out of it.

According to new data released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast implant operations have increased 40 percent in the past decade, and nearly 300,000 women had a boob job done last year. But when you consider that huge breast implants could save your life in a car accident, it all kind of makes sense, doesn't it?

Interestingly, while nearly 90,000 had breast lifts last year, nearly the same amount had surgery to reduce breast size as well. While breast enhancement surgeries have increased, nose jobs, liposuction and lip augmentation are all on the decline. Botox is on the rise though: 5.4 million people received injections in 2010, up a staggering 584 percent from 2000. Overall, women account for 91 percent of cosmetic procedures. And the other nine percent are Sly Stallone.

Ugh! Women who are "well endowed" naturally have difficulty always finding appropriate clothing. Where do these garments come from? We were made the way we were supposed to be...I agree with breast reduction for health reasons (bones, backs, etc.) but get real. Do these women think this looks good? Where are their mirrors. They could all be "Wal-Mart" doozies.

There is one, and only one, legitimate reason to get breast "enhancements" (as opposed to reductions, which have legitimate health benefits): if you've had a mastectomy.

Otherwise, I'm just going to point and laugh at you when things go wrong.

A lot of women just think they should just get a boob job and that's it. I'm in the Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy "She's not handsome enough to tempt me!" camp when it comes to boob jobs. You need to diet and exercise too girl. Then we'll talk about top dollar. Now, I'm not promising a Real Housewives of wichita situation where you slowly melt into a botoxed cougar and then you get a tidy divorce settlement after a decade of marriage being my trophy wife. But maybe, just maybe we can have a 2 year reality tv show stint wherein you whine and talk about nothing and stare at the ceiling and I just look at your boobs while I try to sell crystals with magical properties.
