Here Comes the Botox!
Like the $40 billion wedding industry wasn't ridiculous (or patriarchial) enough, now bridesmaids may feel press to alter their bodies for someone else's big day. A NYT's article, "It's Botox for You, Bridesmaid," describes the trend for bridal parties to get group makeovers that may include a chemical peel, botox or breast implants.
"Becky Lee, 39, a Manhattan photographer, declined when a friend asked her — and five other attendants — to have their breasts enhanced. “We’re all Asian and didn’t have a whole lot of cleavage, and she found a doctor in L.A. who was willing to do four for the price of two,” said Ms. Lee, who wore a push-up bra instead."
Brides out there: it's okay to make us wear horrible dresses, we are fine standing through a long cermony but please don't ask us to change our bodies.
