I am an Italian guy and I have been living in London for the last 8 years, I was reading the article about being all beautifull, I think that life is a wonderfull thing and it really does not matter how pretty you are. When I was young I was leaving in Italy, I remember that the press, the tv and the radio were stressing the Italian teenegers that being beautifull is very important, nowdays I think that what they use to say us was very stupid I really think so, let say that you are very pretty it does not mean that you are better than anybody else, as a male I have been going out with very pretty girls but at the end of the night I found out how brainless she was. Personally I would never dream of plastic surgery, I rather spend that money for a long holiday in the Bahamas so that will help to restore myself from the stress don`t you think so?

I absolutely agree.
If people just enjoyed life with what they've got, then beauty becomes a really silly issue.
There is nothing wrong with good grooming, but it is easy to cross the line into vanity. If everyone did take that holiday in the Bahamas and forgot about there worries, no-one would need plastic surgery!
