Alert: Girl Talk. Don't Read if You Are Embarrassed by the Word Bra

The older I get the more I realize how problematic it is to judge other peoples' actions. We never know when we might be placed in a situation where hard choices have to be made. I bring this up because I've found myself thinking about doing something I never dreamed possible: getting a boob job.

I've always said I thought it was disgusting and unnatural and I'd never do anything like that. I acted as though people who got them were shallow and and ridiculous. How strange it is to find yourself considering something you once laughed at. Truth be told, I won't get one. I don't have that kind of cash. But I find myself wondering what I would do if I had buckets of money at my disposal.

You see, I am flat as a pancake. This fact strongly asserted itself in ballet class where we all wear leotards and and no bras. People say things like a flat chest bother you less as you get older, but I think it actually bothers me more. Maybe I've finally accepted that they won't grow any more on their own.

It's not really a major problem, and it only bothers me occasionally. Keira Knightley is flat, and she's accepted as a bombshell. They painted on her cleavage in Pirates of the Carribean, I was very happy to learn.

Still, I find myself imagining what life would be like if I had an, ahem, alteration. It doesn't seem too bad. And unless you are flat-chested yourself, you shouldn't say boob jobs are always disgusting. You never know who you might be insulting.
