was a special case? I mean i think its' better to airbrush a photo opposed to plastic surgery that in Mrs. Wests case killed her. Since day 1 men and women alike have thrived to attain beauty. The safer ways are prefered but, i guess its' a catch 22 as readers are going to now go out and do whatever it takes. It's really a vicious cycle it seems like.
