Sir Mix-a-lot singing in my head…………

My weekend continues and I am having a relaxing two days….doing some gardening, some running around and some just plain laziness….It is wonderful!

I am always amazed at the lengths people will go to to feed their vanity…boob jobs, tummy tucks, face lifts, Botox, …..are we so worthless because our self-esteemed is tied to our looks?

I was in a gym a few years back to pick up my father who was rehabbing from a stroke….while I waited I watched a guy bench press a small VW….when finished he yelled and look at me and asked…..I can do 310 what about you?  I looked at him and replied….”READ A BOOK”.

Any way I digress….I read something the other day that made me just chuckle…even though it was tragic …..I could not help myself……

A New Jersey woman has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and first-degree assault after administering a fatal silicone injection. Tamira Mobley, 28, who says she is a beautician, injected silicone into the buttocks of college student Tamara Blaine, 22, in a pay-by-the-hour New York hotel room. The July procedure was the fourth in a year, the New York Times reports. This time, the silicone entered Blaine’s bloodstream, an autopsy found, resulting in embolisms and asphyxiation. She had a seizure and died in the hospital. Blaine was charged yesterday, and a criminal complaint says she injected “numerous other women, over the course of two years,” with help from Internet advertising. It’s the latest in a string of similar cases that often see industrial silicone—”the stuff you are taking to grease your garage door with,” says a plastic surgeon—injected into the buttocks. In another sad note, after a month of searching, Blaine’s mother apparently only discovered her daughter’s death from the hospital bill, DNAinfo reports. “When I lost her, nobody helped me,” says Lola Blaine.

A sad report….but you know it does not surprise me in the least……and that is the truly sad part….I expect stupid in the name of vanity.
