After posting briefly on the worlds smallest waist I Googled the name of the owner of said waist, Cathie Jung, and ended up here. Scroll down to the bottom and admire Spook (I'm gonna have to re-name that cat) and her boots.
I am still getting over what this woman has done to herself. The idea of 'ballet boots' makes my pampered feet wince. The ugly extreme that she has corseted herself too makes me sick (literally). I can't imagine hurting myself that much in my search to be beautiful. I can imagine having toxic chemicals put in my hair to change the colour. After all, I have. I'll put goop in my hair to change the way my hair lies. I have removed other hair by shaving it and by having it waxed. I'm even seriously Csidering having some hair removed permanently by laser treatment. I do exercises solely for their vanity gains. I buy expensive creams to put on my skin, even though my science brain knows they don't acheive much. I apply makeup, and wear clothes that are not the most comfortable. I wash daily, and shampoo daily too, even though I don't need to. I wear heeled shoes.
What makes me different from Spook?
Posted by Toni at July 10, 2003 08:53 PMYou don't get it? But hey, it makes perfect sense. "Corset-folks are special. They require partners who understand what corsetry is all about: Sexual tension, release and the confinement that only comes from a grip that reminds them of their loved one every hour of the day--the special person who laced them for both their pleasure--and who unlaces them for the same reason."
I'm with you with the ew, weird. But I can imagine hurting myself that much. Not for beauty, but for a whole bunch of other reasons.
There's a really interesting book in the library, I think it's called "the customised body." Closest I've come to understanding what it's all about.
