Break a Leg

Ok im back blogging, hanging out at a new location now. Im glad we change places actually, over here there's better wireless connections, less salty fries and most importantly no screaming and over-enthu students.

Read a news article on thursday. An Australian lady Hajnal Ban went through limb lengthening procedure in order to be 8cm taller. In the article, it was stated that doctors had break her legs and attached her limb onto a stretching frame.

Doctors fed 14 wires through the flesh, soft tissue, muscle and bone of both legs to suspend them in circular stretching frames, before breaking them in two places.Over the next nine months Ban's legs were stretched every day as the broken bones healed, eventually boosting her to a height of 1.62m.



The whole operation took a full year and cost a whopping fee of US$30,000. When
i read that article, i can totally understand what makes this young lady take
the risk to go ahead with this operation.

I totally support her quotes


Barns

'I think harnessing or using surgery that's out there for cosmetic applications is acceptable if it makes people feel good about themselves.

'I'm an advocate for women feeling good about themselves by whatever means necessary and available.'


And for that, im gonna start saving up for a better nose, bigger eyes, thinner lips, smaller and whiter teeth, slimming procedures that will give me slimmer calf which in turn i believe will give the illusion of taller limbs.

Hmmm...Hahaha ok ok im kidding...hahah...but who's not out for a better smile?
