So my neighbor had her breasts escalated. What, you ask? I don't know. I said, "hey, your boobs got bigger. Did you have them augmented?" She said, "they weren't augmented, they were escalated."

If you appreciate breast escalation you should move to Los Angeles.

How thoughtful of you to notice.

So you know one of the ways to get your boobs escalated to a larger size after you've already had augmentation? There's a weak spot on the side near the ribcage where you can puncture the bag creating a leak. You then can get a new boob job to a larger cup size and have your insurance cover it. Apparently it's all the rage among girls looking to "go up".

Don't they realize they can get just as much attention by dressing slutty and sleeping with guys on the first date?

I thought perhaps this meant instead of making them larger, she merely had them relocated to a higher spot on her chest. Anyway, I heard from our President last night that you aren't supposed to say "escalate" anymore. The new term is surge. So your neighbor had her breasts surged.

Really? According to Condi, it's a troop augmentation, not escalation.

surge sounds randy.

I was at The Cheese Store in Beverly Hills visiting friends last week. What a freak show outside.

45-50 year old face, with obvious signs of chemical peel, microdermasion and botox abuse
20 year old boobs
65 year old sagging yoga butt

All rolled into one package!

Probably with an 85 Year Old Sugar Daddy with his nurse waiting in the car.

I was referring to some of the men I saw.

Wow I didn't know! I'm so glad I've been doing it right all these years without the expense of plastic surgery....

I like the ones who have been smoking two packs a day and tanning for 40 years who try to get facelifts. They look like the leather on a catcher's mitt. Great look . . . no really.

I know.

as with so many major fashion purchases, i don't think these are aimed at men at all, but rather to inspire awe and envy in other women. if they were after men, all they'd have to do is practice nodding their head and saying "gosh honey, i never thought of that." or monkey's way would work, too.

Please explain?

I'll try to take a photo of one of the mothers at my daughter's school and post it. First I'll have to figure out how to explain what I'm doing in case I get caught.

Thank you, that would be very helpful. But is the yoga making the butt saggy?

Can we just call it Breascalation?

I don't know if that's political, but it sure is funny.

I really think that's true. I have never seen a poll, but anecdotally at least plenty of men disapprove of vanity-based fakery in the chest region (correcting something really wrong is different. A friend of mine used to work in this business, and from all the stories I do share the impression that it's primarily self-esteem and secondarily (female) peer approval.

But I am happy to be corrected.

There is a type of affluent, stay at home LA soccer mom who is extremely thin but doesn't like to exercise. So she starves herself. Rather than admit she doesn't like to exercise she claims to do yoga or pilates, both forms are the fitness regimes of choice for her crowd. So, no she doesn't have a real yoga butt, rather "I pretend to do yoga butt". She also eats a little tofu occassionaly to supplement her diet of salads with dressing on the side. She's also been to a local plastic surgeon for a "mommy makeover".

Oooooh okay got it. Please, no pictures.

not political, but anatomical.

I would sooooooo rather do the opposite. Not that I'm really doing either right now.

There are women I've known for 10 plus years that I've never seen eat anything more than a salad. Or they pick at their plates and occassionally munch on super salty snacks.

I'm not sure they ever pass gas either. I think they have their farts removed with one of these

Umm.
What do you use?

Pull my finger.

and yet you have strippers and pornstars who seem to get breast enhancements etc. as part of the job requirements. (or so i'm told, you understand, being myself a shy, retiring boy who likes nothing better of a sunday afternoon than to read the good book to mother.) i doubt they're doing it for the benefit of other women.

Just spend 15 minutes each day pulling the F. Supps off the top shelf in the library and immediately putting them back. Good upper body workout.

like mr. mongo, i am a retiring type who is much more comfortable sitting at my desk working quietly. but i have HEARD that there are just as many unenhanced as enhanced. might be wrong about that, since all i do is look at my computer all day. maybe that's the wrong excuse.

Perhaps you should be viewing your internet porn on an 19" screen.

you used physical reporters in law school? how quaint.

Is there any other way? Er, hmm, I am getting old.

I can only agree, but while it may be the case that 80% of porn stars get breast escalation/augmentation/surges, it might be that only 0.05% of women who get... er, what I said, are porn stars.

I am not sure what the confidence interval is with those stats, but you get my point?

Is "breast escalation" an example of tit for tat?

are you suggesting that the porn stars (many of whom, i understand, appear unclothed in scenes with men not related to them) and strippers are confused about men's attraction to such additions or that the subset of men who view these attractive, naked ladies (as i assume they must be) are in the minority in the larger male population?

i think it's more like the reverse.

I don't know if you're serious, but I am simply pointing out that porn stars and strippers probably make up a tiny fraction of the clientele; in which case, the observation that they surely do it for guys, does not undermine my speculation that most women probably do it for themselves (or their female peers).

Don't you see? I'm trying to suggest a use for them in this day and age, besides providing a backdrop for when reporters and photographers visit your office.

Has no one yet bothered to mentioned that they feel really wrong? Very off-putting.

no, i understand that. i am just sceptical that the number of men who are turned on by this small fraction of women who are strippers and porn stars in fact constitutes such a small fraction of the total population of men, in which fall the audience for the larger number of women getting the surgeries.

my own highly scientific theory is that women diet and get rid of wrinkles etc. for competitive reasons, but make superstructure adjustments largely to attract men (and possibly as extra floatation devices in the event of water landings).

How many have you been feeling recently, Monsieur Le Flaneur? Is Paris awash in plastique? Maybe it's just too cold, sort of like molasses in January. Warm hands are supposed to do the trick.

There is a kind of LA man (usually 40's and up) who drives a bling car and has a girlfriend, wife or mistress who drives her big, silicone boobs like he drives his car. Most of her tops are designed to show cleavage and she parks her breasts on restaurant tables and bars.

Also, there are lots of older mothers in LA. Women who have their first babies in their late 30's-early 40's and their boobs don't bounce back. So they get a lift and decide to go up a cup size or two.

Is this a bad thing? Personally I always like a little eye candy in a bar, it a least gives people something to discuss over cocktails.

As far as the older mother phenomenon - who wants saggy titties? Do you think women need to be resigned to the impact of pregnancy on their bodies just because? I only ask as a woman who's had two kids and nursed both till they were 18 months. My tits are definitely not the same, and having neither the time nor serious interest in that sort of body modification I've never had them done. But I do understand the desire and lure the promise of going under the knife holds. Especially when we live in a society (not just in L A but at large) that covets unattainable perfection and relishes sexual desirability, yet balks at the sight of a female breast fulfilling it's function by feeding a child. It's a fucked up world baby, and we can only steer our path as best we can. With so much tied up into people's identity with this stuff you can't just assume a knowledge as to a woman's decision to modify herself. And you may not get a straight answer even if one is offered. And in the long run, does it really matter?

Hey, if I had saggy titties I'd have them escalated too.

Just this morning my running buddies and I were wondering why any woman would want a larger rack. This after a pair of falsies went trotting by. Natural ones practically need to be bound in order for high impact exercise to be comfortable, although it sounds like the species of woman that Scream describes doesn't exercise, let alone run.

Perky is one thing, big is another.

Be patient. Time and gravity will tell.

I think the focus here should be lower. I like Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Shakira. Give me HIPS!!!!

I always use sunscreen on my breasts. Even when I'm fully dressed.

i think this thread is utterly useless and a complete waste of time without pictures to illustrate your...err..points.

Yes, I agree. You know us men, we're very visual.
