shy_dramaqueen, who has now learned the difference between pedophilia and incest, and will never let Norwegian media brainwash her again, is back with - you guessed it - a Sue. And that sentence was so long it almost awards a good ole' hooker-slap

The problem I have with that whole "corset" thing, whether it is Elizabeth or a sue, is that a 13-year-old would have been wearing one for quite some time. In order to get that fashionably small waist, one could not just put on a corset at the age of 18, or even 13, and expect to get it. A woman's body had to get that "Barbie doll shape" by being molded into it over years. They even slept in them, if they could stand it. I mean, look at this. She did not just decide to put on a corset one day to look nice at a party.

The best first-person example I can think of is in the writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder, where her mother says that when she married, "He could span my waist with his two hands." That is a teeny waist! No wonder victorian ladies were so prone to faints and "the vapors..." they had all their internal organs crammed into the wrong places.

That picture is what nightmares are made of. I am so glad that I do not live in a time when people wear corsets. I could not stand it.

This is even worse. I don't see how these women do it. The neck rings actually collapse the clavicle, and their necks are so elongated that some of them can't hold their heads up without them.

I guess they just get used to it. I mean, I'm sure some of what we do looks uncomfortable to others. However, we don't have anything that actually breaks parts of our body...

Except for cosmetic surgery to make our bodies into our own cultures ideal. Nose jobs, inmplants for breasts, lips, butt, calves, removing fat, we really are no better.

There we go. I knew there was something. Though, corsets were require for women. I would think that the neck-extension things are, also. No one here is required to get plastic surgery, though the media seems to think otherwise...

The neck thing is part of their culture, nothing really for fashions sake. I forget what they represent specifically, but its a way of life. Women and men have warped their bodies for as long as they have been able, tattoos, foot binding, neck enlarging, piercings, none of these things are really healthy, just the norm at the time. Sorry to rant.
