Apparently the fashion world is in a tizzy because all of the women who can afford the cutour styles runway models model, can also afford to insert tons of plastic into their not-so-runway bussoms. And, as we all know, gay men run the fashion industry and don't really design boobie-oriented clothes that often.
"Brian Bolke, the owner of a boutique in Dallas called 4510 for its address on McKinney Avenue, said, "For women who love fashion, breast enlargements and designer dresses do not go together." He estimated more than half his customers have had cosmetic surgery. "
"Surgery for breast enlargement (including breast lifts) has grown by 257 percent since 1997, reaching 432,403 patients last year, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery"
That is, HALF A MILLION breasts are implanted each year. Or, I guess, a million actual breasts, half a million pairs. Amazing.
So great: ""I gave up my wardrobe to show off my breasts," said Tara Fierstatt, a national merchandiser for Buffalo Jeans in New York."
