When in Rome...

I´ve written previosly about the extremely attractive women here in Argentina. To give them credit, I believe they eat a much more reasonable amount of food than Americans women and live a more active lifestyle. However, it would be unfair to the say the Argentine beauty phenomenon is all natural. My Lonely Planet guide to Buenos Aires says and I quote, "The obsession with looks has given argentina one of the highest rates of plastic surgery in the world and helped to enforce their reputation as a nation of attractive people." I´ve heard from reliable sources that "the boob job" has become the popular birthday gift for the 15 year old. I wouldn´t think about letting my daughter be operated on, but that´s neither her not there. These body modifications make age descernation very difficult. Girls from 15 to 40 all look 25. Megan did what she could to help Annie fit the Argentine mold.

I think that you fail to mention that not only do they have boob jobs, but they also have lipo done to every part of their body so it's perfect. Plastic surgery is so cheap in these countries that its not normal if you don't have anything done.
