Mommy 2.0: A new picture book about plastic surgery aims to explain why mom is getting a flatter tummy and a 'prettier' nose.
Maybe you've heard about the controversy around this self published book Dr. Michael Salzhauer, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Bal Harbour, Fla. I happened to see it as the unfortunate result of being on a list serve of feminist bloggers who were, as you might imagine, outraged...outraged I tell you. I don't know about you but I have many friends who have had breast augmentation, another friend who got a divorce and then got a nose job (after years of hearing her husband say her nose looked like a penis), and have myself thought longingly of my pre-17-month-breast-feeding-boobs and wondered if I could afford a little pick me up...and if so, how would I talk about it with people. Forget my 7 year old daughter. What about my mother?!
