Liu Yulan looks at least a decade younger than her 62 years -- thanks to four visits to a cosmetic surgeon. Liu is one of 19 finalists in China's first beauty pageant for women who have undergone plastic surgery, part of the country's increasingly fevered pursuit of beauty as the economy soars and people spend more money and time on their looks. The government says the country's fast-growing cosmetic surgery industry rakes in $2.4 billion a year as patients rush to go under the knife to widen eyes, narrow faces and fill out lips and breasts, emerging as "renzao meinu" -- manmade beauties. ... Applicants also had to show certificates to prove they had plastic surgery. ... This is seriously fucked up. But hey, at least it's an honest competition. You know all the tits are fake! I can see it all so clearly: Scandal at the RealDoll 2005 competition breaks out. It is discovered that Liu's breasts are not augmented. In fact, nothing at all about Liu is fake. Instantly disgraced, her crown is revoked. WTF indeed. Beauty Pagent for Silicon Beauties |
