    the exact advert I was thinking of - and the same reaction! It's appalling really that they are slowly placing thoughts that women MUST want plastic surgery (and by that I mean facial surgery) at some point in their lives. At some point in the future, there's every chance that women will feel it's weird if they don't want it. So shallow and so sad.

    Because they're trying to sell something. This isn't like the 50's when adverts were basically factual and said something like. "Our car is faster than theirs and you can fit more junk in it - which is why you should buy it."

    Now they try to appeal to emotions and the 'inner child'. To pick a random example "Auto emocion" - what does that *mean* exactly?

    With those adverts for cosmetic surgery, they want being attacked with sharp blades to the face to not be just a normal night out in Hull, but to be the norm desired by all women. And to be desirable because the 'inner child' doesn't want to be the only one without.

    In that way they'll make money - lots of it.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Auction ended, stopped bidding. 99p was a good price but not £5.
