ok. i can appreciate that mommy's nose job and face lift and, what, maybe removal of bags under her eyes might scare her small child. but is it scarier than a parent who gets glasses or grows or shaves a beard when away for a few days/weeks/months?
it is good, i'm sure, that the kids know why mommy has to stay in bed and not be allowed to pick you up for a few weeks after she has a tummy tuck.
i have a friend who had a boob job and tummy tuck. she had twins a couple of years before that and her abs were permanently separated and she had about an acre of spare skin, apparently. i didn't agree that she or anyone needs it, but am very glad that she is happier with her body as it is.
and hey, if they did tummy tucks and liposuction without pain or risk, maybe i'd indulge, too. or maybe i could eat less and exercise more. maybe we could all run out and get corsets.
i can't help but think that this book is a symptom of our youth- and celebrity- and perfection-obsessed world. but to be directly marketing it to small children so they can understand the big, wide world of body-image-hatred at the age of 3 is just too much.

this is all over the land o' blogs and i hope that's not increasing sales...
