Everything about Anne Hathaway's latest red carpet look was weird. But that doesn't mean she looked bad. Oh no. On the contrary, Hathaway's head-to-toe Chanel and sloppy-cute updo were on point! This is what we call evolving style, people. Somebody go find Karl Lagerfeld and hug him for this. I mean, he probably wouldn't be down with that -- instead, just quietly bow before him. I'm sure Uncle Karl would appreciate it to no end.

The shirt Hathaway's wearing is clearly the main event. The black button-down blouse is printed with the words "no smoking" written in roughly 80 (I exaggerate) languages vertically up and down her person. It shouldn't work, but it does. I mean, who better than Anne and her perfect skin to remind those still trapped in tobacco country of the damage the stuff can do?

Don't forget -- Hathaway was a smoker herself, so you know she's passionate about this cause. The design of the top keeps it from becoming too "messagey." That said, while staying fashionable, it still packs a punch when it comes to nipping cigs in the butt, if you will. I love the way she's paired it with this long, draped black skirt.

On anyone else, this would look like a sack, or like a kid playing dress-up. But Anne looks so grown-up, a veritable tall, long, and svelte slenderella.

Now we've got to talk about the hair. It's pretty fascinating right? Let's be real, she's got to be trying to grow out her pixie cut. There's no other reason for this sort of pin-centric look. Even so, if you're going to have to suffer through those awkward days of grow-out, this is the way to do it! It looks easy; it looks sloppy yet sophisticated. It's win, win, win all around. Get it, girl!

Do you think this looks works, or is it too crazy?

The following is a post from our sponsor, Simple.

I love the city. I love busy sidewalks, towering skyscrapers, and honking taxis. I love the skylines, the river views, and the architecture. I love the culture, the cuisine, and the neighborhoods. I love the history, the hidden walkways, and the hot dog stands. Mostly, I love watching people as they bustle from corner to corner, briefcases, backpacks, or baby carriages in tow. I love to make up stories in my mind about who they are, what they do, and where they came from. The city is exciting and loud and full of commotion (sound like any household you know?), and I thrive on it!

I could walk the city streets for hours on end and never get bored.

But do you have any idea what all that city stuff does to your skin? It turns your poor, innocent face into a big, irritated mess! At the end of the day, whether I’ve been at the park with the kids or rushing to and from work or just out for dinner with my husband, I feel like I have a layer of yuck on my skin. There is so much dirt and grime and pollution that I don’t even think about until it hits me smack in the face.

So what do I do? Well, you know I’m not going to stay inside! But I actually started feeling like I should. My skin had gotten so sensitive, and for the longest time, I couldn’t figure out what to do and how to protect my face. When I discovered Simple® Skincare Moisturizing Facial Wash, it literally changed my life. No more irritation, no more sensitive spots.

Every morning I start the day with Simple® Skincare Facial Wash. That’s just a given. It’s one of those cleansers that hydrates your skin and makes you feel naturally clean. It doesn’t have any dyes, artificial perfumes, or harsh chemicals that can upset your skin.

Then, every day, no matter what I have planned, I apply a coat of Simple® Protecting Light Moisturizer before I put on my makeup. It’s got SPF 15 so I know I’m good to go whether I’m going to be in the sun or in the office.

At night, I give my face a good washing with Simple® Smoothing Facial Scrub. It exfoliates and makes me feel like it’s taking away the city soot without taking off two layers of my skin. Then I top it off with the same Simple® Protecting Light Moisturizer I used in the morning.

Just as I wouldn’t go out in the snow without my gloves or to the beach without my sunglasses, I simply won’t brave the city streets without my Simple® products. That way I can keep on loving the city without worrying about how it’s damaging my skin.

Kate Upton wearing a bikini on a magazine cover should not, in theory, make us feel good about ourselves. I don't know about you, but even on my "good" days, no one would ever confuse me with a supermodel. But Vogue UK wants to change all that, and they might have just managed to do it.

Kate Upton is their June cover girl, and while she's doing what she does best (wearing a bikini and looking too hot to handle), she might just prove to be your latest inspiration when it comes to normal-people bikinis that will make you feel exceptional this summer.

Kate is rocking a ridiculously adorable vintage cut floral two-piece. It's kind of like if Laura Ashley had a swim-line -- and I mean that in the best possible way. Not only do the creamy base color of the suit and the soft floral pattern do amazing things for her skin, the cut itself is so good, it should be the only one curvy women everywhere are allowed to try on. 

It's a cut that's guaranteed to make you want to shake what your mama gave you without fear that what she gave you will come flying out for the world to see. I wish every bikini was designed this way! It's the perfect bathing suit for a curvy figure. It's basically the perfect suit for every body-type -- though admittedly it makes the bodacious curvy bodies really sing. 

The best thing about this suit (other than its accessibility to non-model types) is that it doesn't sacrifice beauty for the sake of providing good support. It does both! And continues looking sexy as all get-out! Your bottom and tummy are lifted and tucked, and the soft hold of the top makes every girl feel like an 1940s era pin-up model. When you're suit-shopping this season, keep this cut in mind. Places like Modcloth and Pin-Up Girl Clothing have insanely cute and reasonably priced options; they're a great place to start looking for one you love. 

Would you ever try this retro look?

Selena Gomezditched her extensions, and everyone is talking about it. But they aren't saying that's what she did. Instead, folks are ooh-ing and ahh-ing over her "new mid-length bob." No. Just, no. I'm sorry, but you don't get to just take out the fake hair you stuck to your head for Coachella and then get me to rhapsodize about how much better this 'new look' suits you. It isn't a new look! It's her old look! 

Sure, long, pretty, boho-style extensions are fun to do. But I think they're best used the way Selena employed them -- for specific events. If you're wandering around an outdoor concert venue, by all means, channel your inner flower child. But don't then get back to the 9 to 5 way of life and be all "haircut"! THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED. Okay. Hold on. I have to count to 10. 

It's no wonder Selena didn't actually grow her hair out to such bohemian levels. Her baby-face (which I do enjoy) is much better suited to a medium-long look. It really brightens up her face and makes her look so much more well-rested than the long, lank extensions did when she was at Coachella. Still, the fact remains -- this wasn't a haircut. This was basic hair maintenance. 

What's next? Are we going to have "breaking news" the next time Kim Kardashian washes her hair? Unless someone buzzes off half of their hair, Demi Lovato- and Natalie Dormer-style, makes waves with an Emma Watson-type pixie, or goes the full-Britney Spears what with the head-shaving, we shouldn't celebrate it as breaking hair news! I heart Selena's Instagram, and I'm always willing to click and see what she's up to. But let's call this what it is: Selena took out her extensions and donned a hat. It's hardly a hair revolution.

Do you think she looks better with long hair or short?

The eternal question: Why do I need to carry around a big, heavy purse when guys manage to walk around with a few things in their pockets? The answer is I don't. I could definitely stand to pare down to, say, a little crossbody bag. This is a hand bag just big enough for a phone, wallet, keys, and lipstick, with a long strap you wear crosswise over your body. It's perfect for day, night, and travel. And I've picked out the perfect one! If only it didn't cost $1,600. Why does such a tiny bag cost so much?!?

Okay, back to Earth. Surely there's a crossbody bag in my price range? Realistically, that's around $5, but I don't think I'm going to find anything at that price outside the toy department. Instead, here are 8 crossbody purses under $50 that will definitely fit the bill.

Have you ever wondered if you're beautiful? Well good news, weirdos, there's apparently a "test" out that can help you solve the pesky question of your homeliness once and for all! Can you tell already that I quietly think this to be a load of nonsense? That said, it's hilarious and entertaining nonsense -- therefore I am tickled pink (well pinker than usual, I'm pretty pink in general) to share this new test to determine if you're beautiful.

This new technique comes to us straight outta China where kids are posting photos of themselves trying this "finger trap test" to determine their beauty. The idea works this way. Take your index finger and press it to your lips like you're a surly librarian trying to shush a group of teens. If your finger can touch your lips and your nose at the same time, congratulations: You are beautiful, dude. Snaps all around.

When I read about it, I immediately scoffed ... and then tried it. Don't worry guys, it turns out that I look AMAZING. The truth is, most people will too. In fact, given the general layout of the human face, I kind of can't imagine anyone not passing this test? I don't know whether to roll my eyes and be annoyed that it exists or slow-clap in happiness. 

Because while it's super annoying that we're giving kids in particular another fake standard of beauty to adhere to, the fact that almost no one flunks this test makes it an argument for universal acceptance. We're all beautiful! Even this cat who lives in my apartment:

There is no "real test" that can prove definitively that a person is good-looking. I hate to sound like an after-school special, but true beauty cannot be measured by fingers pressed flat against lips and noses. True beauty is your confidence, and your kindness, and your sense of humor. Believe you're beautiful and you are. In the immortal words of RuPaul:

Did you try this beauty test when I described it? Be honest!

Those who have read The Fault in Our Stars (and if you haven't, it's really, really good) are most likely looking forward to the movie version of the book starring Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace Lancaster and Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters. Filming and producing a story about teen cancer is probably no easy feat. Case in point? Shailene having to cut off msot of her hair in order to play Hazel. And of course it's all on video.

Taken all the way back on August 16, 2013, but seemingly released recently, the video shows how the stylist who's working on Shailene's hair has to cut through multiple ponytails. Woodley covers her eyes and exclaims, "I might cry so hard, you guys!"

Who hasn't been in that position, feeling nervous and a jumble of nerves before an extreme haircut? Though Shailene has a noble cause for doing so ... and is relating to the patients she is portraying ... it's still nerve-racking nonetheless!

Here is the video:

(OMG her hair is so thick!!)

It must be devastating having to feel your ponytail get cut off multiple times, let alone just once. I can kind of relate: On a personal note, I once chopped off my 10-inch mane for Locks of Love. The process was the same -- but with only one ponytail. It was still incredibly scary (I know, it's just hair and it will grow back, but at times, so much of our identities are tied to our hair), and once I felt my stylist chop off that ponytail, I knew there was no going back. I'll never forget that feeling. And even though it was for a wonderful, generous, amazing cause -- I'd be quite hesitant to do it again. I guess I am that vain.

It seems Woodley also took an applause-worthy route by sharing on her Tumblr that she will donate her hair to Children With Hair Loss. "Not only do I have the opportunity to externally shift my current establishment of self, but I have the blessed gift of donating my long locks to a wonderful organization who will then create a wig for someone in need," she wrote. "What an honor."

Can't wait to see what Shailene looks like in character and kudos to her for braving the whole hair chopping off process. It will be well worth it and she maybe can now understand even more what her character is going through. And at least she didn't do anything like this:

"Birkenstocks are back!" My good friend posted that on Facebook the other day, and I confess: I cringed. Oh yes, they are ... they are indeed. And I will admit, there are some cute styles out right now that catch even my eye. And I know, I know: ALL the cool kids are wearing them. But I just don't think I can do it. I love a comfy shoe as much as the next girl, but I require footwear with a little more sex appeal (and a little less crunch).

Here are some super comfortable yet still super cute sandals that you can wear this summer and have no problem keeping up the pace with your Birkenstock-clad friends!

Meet the new false eyelashes for your brows. A new beauty product promises to transform the faces of women recovering from chemotherapy and maybe over-plucking as well.Lace-front eyebrows are essentially glue-on wigs that fill out where you're bald or sparse. They're much less radical than hair transplants, but as you can see in the pictures and video below, the results are dramatic. But do they look natural, and are they worth the hefty price tag?

Here are 4 things to know about lace-front eyebrows.

1. Cost. Let's get the cost out of the way up front. One company, Final Touch, sells just the brows for $50 a pair; plus, you'll need adhesive (they sell for $30 but you could probably buy wig adhesive elsewhere) and adhesive remover (another $30). So you're looking at an up-front cost of $110.

2. How long they last. Once glued on, the brows should last 7 days. Then you'll need to redo them. But the brows can be reused for up to 2 to 3 months if you take perfect care of them. So that means you're maybe spending $300 to $600 a year.

3. How they work. You have to do a little measuring first so you know exactly where to put them.

Then you brush some adhesive on the back of the brows and place them on your face eeeever so carefully.

4. How they look. And ... here's the big reveal. You go from this:

To this:

I think these brows look a little funky on this woman. They're a bit too dark and harsh for her face, in my opinion. But that might be a matter of styling (she could go with a lighter shade; plus, the stylist added more color over them after applying). It doesn't look like you have a choice of eyebrow widths; it's just one standard shape. So there are some limitations.

They're NOT going to give you Cara Delevingne eyebrows. (Unless you're a very experienced stylist.) They're more for people who want to go from no brows at all to some brows and have resigned themselves to the browless-beggars-can't-be-choosers philosophy. Not that they look terrible! I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, there are limits.

But if I were hairless up there, for whatever reason, I would be ecstatic with this option.

It's the subject so taboo we aren't supposed to talk about it in public: women and facial hair. Shocking! But the only thing that should surprise us nowadays is the fact that we're still whispering about what we can do to get rid of our mustaches, whiskers, and too-lengthy sideburns. After all, hair removal is big business, and salons command top dollar in order to get your skin silky-smooth.

Lasers are by far the best option for those with a skin pigment that allows the rays to work, but it's also the most expensive -- costing upwards of $500 for the average six sessions it takes to permanently zap the hair away. But there are other less costly and often private facial hair removal solutions. We have gathered info for 9 of the most popular methods so you can think before you tweeze, snip, wax, sugar, or thread.

You know what they say about divorce: Unlike marriage, it always lasts forever. But as many divorced women know, the heartache and stress of divorce fades with time. And hopefully, you're left with an inner strength built from struggle and a new-found joy in your independence. What better way to mark those feelings than to get a tattoo? These aren't sad tattoos that mourn the past. These are designs that say, "I survived, and I am stronger, now!" Divorce isn't exactly something you celebrate, but once you've survived it, it can be a badge of honor. Here are 8 beautiful tattoos that express how many women feel about divorce.

A style monster from the past has been resurrected, my friends. I was hoping it was just a rumor or a joke. But I can no longer deny its presence: Fanny packs are back. Those frumpy little bags that buckle around your waist -- people are trying to make them happen again. My latest proof comes from a celeb. Fashionista Nicole Richie gardens in fanny packs, she tells Us Weekly, "I use — and I stand by this 100 percent — a fanny pack! I have three of them — two vintage Chanel ones. I use them in the garden because I carry my phone in them [to listen to] music. They're dope!"

So vintage Chanel fanny packs, but still. DOPE?!? It got me thinking -- maybe I'm being too closed-minded about this style monster. Maybe I should take a look around and see if this year's are an improvement over the original. Prove me wrong, fanny packs of 2014! Here's what I found. See what you think. Do we dare try them again?

Dayum. Naya Rivera's latest photos on Instagram are sure to silence the haters. Things haven't been going her way lately ... or so the press would have you believe. Her engagement's been called off, and rumors about her being fired from Glee abound. But the negative press isn't getting her down. These photos of her posted poolside and looking tremendous show she certainly isn't feeling any pain about her current station in life.

If my derriere looked like that? I'd be feeling fine too! The tropical locale of the shoot paired with Naya's sexy-but-still-classy two-piece make for a picture that's the very definition of "looking good is the best revenge." Seriously, I never thought I'd be in such virulent support of a butt-selfie, but here we are! I applaud it and her. Work it, girl -- you put the Kardashians to shame. Yup, I said it! 

I'm not sure if it's the cut of Naya's suit or the luxe locale, but the whole feel of the pictures she shared is that of sophisticated tranquility. I mean, the photos are also sexy as all get-out, that can't be denied. Naya's in killer shape, and these photos make it clear she has no intention of that changing any time soon.

But you do have to wonder about the timing of the shoot. She's always been gorgeous, but it's weird that she's letting it all hang out with everything being said about her in the press. This is what we call serving up devil-may-care realness. 

I think the framing of the most infamous of her photos is what really makes this belfie feel classy instead of trashy. She's so clearly ready for a break and summer ready to boot! She's already got us all beat when it comes to lounging preparedness. Her skin is glowing, her hair looks fabulously conditioned, and her subtly exposed flesh is toned to perfection. 

Do you think a butt-selfie can ever be "tasteful"?

Did you see Khloe Kardashian's microscopic waistover the weekend? No, you didn't, because it was too small to see with the naked eye. Well, it almost was. Thankfully it's not the result of an insane starvation diet that somehow leaves all your junk in the trunk. Khloe credits a "waist-training" corset created by Premadonna that claims to slim your midsection by up to seven inches. SEVEN!!! Is that how Human Barbie gets her tiny waist, too? What is waist training, exactly, and is it even safe? Here are 4 things you should know about this non-surgical way to get a simmer midsection.

1. Waist training is wearing shapewear to alter the dimensions of your torso. It's a demanding practice that goes beyond occasional use. The idea is that you reduce the circumference of your waist by wearing a corset every day, supported by diet and exercise. One woman says she got a 16-inch waist this way!

2. It works, but not the way you think it does. A quick Internet search will turn up dozens of testimonials claiming waist training dramatically changes your shape when done "properly." Plastic surgeon Dr. Alexander Sinclair says that corsets work by compressing the bottom ribs up and in. But Dr. Sunil Sharma, Director of Bariatric Surgery at the University of Florida Health, told Ebony magazine, "All you’re doing is compressing your stomach and pushing the fat around instead of getting rid of it. It’s a very temporary thing."

3. It's uncomfortable.Common complains of corset-wearing include rib ache, elevated blood pressure, and hyperventilation. You may need to change your diet to avoid painful bloating and indigestion.

4. It could be harmful to your health. Some corset experts recommend wearing your shaper nearly 24/7 for dramatic results, but doctors say that could damage your organs. Plus, restricting your oxygen intake could damage your metabolism. And as we learned earlier this year, shapewear can lead to heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion.

Sure there are pro-corset advocates out there who claim to have the secret to safe and effective waist training. But with corsets costing hundreds of dollars, plus my great fondness for breathing easily, I think I'll skip this trend.

Are you tempted by waist training, or does it sound too painful and dangerous to be worth the results?

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's -- your hair defying gravity! And not because you have bouncy curls, either. You've got a hair-raising case of static. The positive charge emanating from your head could light up Las Vegas. And your fly-aways are completely out of control. How do you manage your electrified strands? You've probably already heard about rubbing your head with a dryer sheet. Here are 10 other methods for preventing -- and stopping -- hair static.

1. Blow dry with an ionic dryer. These special dryers are not only supposed to neutralize the charge of your hair. They're also supposed to break down, rather than evaporate, water. Your hair is more moisturized and less dried out, so it shouldn't fly away so much.

2. Dry with paper towels instead of a blow dryer. Better than blow-drying, try blotting dry with paper towels. Or at least do half of the drying with paper towels. The less time you spend with the blow dryer, the better.

3. Smooth on an anti-frizz treatment. There's a growing army of hair products that give your hair some moisturizing weight so it won't rise above. Even a little oil (argan or almond) on the ends will help.

4. Wash your scalp, not your hair. When you shampoo, focus the scrubbing on your scalp, and just let the suds run over your hair as you rinse out. That way you're not over-drying the ends.

5. Shampoo less frequently. During dry weather, wash your hair less frequently. If your hair has a lot of static, chances are you don't need to wash as much as you do.

6. Smooth moisturizer onto your ends. Just a little dab will do. Smooth on a little after you moisturize your hands. This weighs down your strands without turning your whole head into a greaseball.

7. Turn on a humidifier. If you spend a lot of time in a dry climate, plug in a humidifier. The moisture in the air will help cut the static.

8. Use an anti-static comb. You could try to find a metal, wood, or bamboo comb. But I've seen a lot of "anti-static" plastic combs at most drugs stores.

9. Use a little water. If you don't have access to any of the above, just wet your hair down a little. Dampen your fingertips and run them over your locks for a quick fix.

10. Braid your hair. As a last resort, you can always just braid it all away. Be sure to hairspray everything well so you don't get any strays.

Do you have any other suggestions for controling static-filled hair?

You know those little bumps you get along your bikini line -- that is, if you happen to wax or shave the hair down there? Sometimes they look like a rash, other times just isolated raised spots. They're usually ingrown hairs: These are hairs that curl and grow back into your skin, or grow sideways through your skin, instead of growing out. Needless to say, your skin finds that irritating. And as you've seen, it doesn't look too great, either. So what do you do? Aside from going back to nature, there are a few things you can do to prevent and to treat those bikini-line bumps.

1. Make an aspirin mask: This sounds crazy, but it can work. Make a mask with crushed, over-the-counter aspirin. It contains salicylic acid, which helps exfoliate skin.

2. Shave in the same direction: If you shave, move the razor in the same direction as your hair, instead of against. Shave with warm water, and rinse after each stroke.

3. Exfoliate: Every day, gently rub the area with a washcloth, loofah, sugar, baking soda, or exfoliating soap.

4. Apply tea tree oil: This is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. You can dilute tea tree oil with warm water or mix with olive oil, leave on for 10 minutes, and then rinse off.

5. Use a bikini area treatment: These 7 products are for post-waxing, but they could be helpful to shavers as well.

6. Remove with sterilized needle or tweezers: This makes doctors nervous, and many recommend against doing it. But here's the WikiHow on removing ingrown pubic hair. We're not recommending this, we're just saying ... the information is out there.

7. Laser hair removal: I am doing this as soon as a money blizzard hits my home, or after I finish paying for my son's education, whichever comes first. I've heard a few reports of ingrown hairs still happening after laser hair removal, but it's rare.

How do you usually deal with bikini line ingrown hairs?

Can we all please breathe a sigh of relief that this year's theme for the Met Gala wasn't punk rock again? I mean, I don't pretend to be a fashion expert or anything, but some of the looks for the 2013 fashion-forward party were pretty ... um ... very strange. Also Kim Kardashian wore a carpet bag, or as we reported last year, camouflage for grandma's living room.

Nope, this year the theme for the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute (and zee premiere NYC event of zee season, dahling) was "Charles James: Beyond Fashion." In case you didn't know, Charles James was a premier fashion designer in the mid-twentieth century, and has been regarded as "America's First Couturier."

I'm happy to report that the looks for 2014 were much better all around, but because this is high fashion we're talking about ... there were some that just didn't come across well. Here are the best and worst looks for the 2014 Met Gala.

What looks worked for you?

Ladies, is this the new side boob? Last night at a Met Gala after-party, Rihanna displayed three inches of butt crack in a stunning backless gown. Some are trying to play it like a wardrobe malfunction, but let's not kid ourselves. The woman draped a special gold chain over her derriere cleavage: She wanted us to look. And look we did! You could almost fall and get lost in there. I guess now that we've seen exposed breasts from pretty much every angle on the red carpet, it's time to move on to another body part. And that's kind of a relief -- until you start thinking about where people could take this new trend.

No "almost" butt exposure here -- oh no. This is Riri, so she's making a grand gesture with her glutes. Almost half of her bottom is on display here. And she's one of the few stars who can get away with it, too. Why? Because she's Rihanna, and that's what we expect from her. Way to throw down the ass-crack gauntlet, lady!

Now where are you supposed to go from here? We've seen a bit of side-butt (okay, let's just call them hips) and the teensiest bit of under-butt. But if buttocks cleavage becomes a trend, you're either going to look timid next to Rihanna -- which is maybe not such a bad thing -- or you're going to have to go further, which ... is just going to be weird.

I mean, we all love butts. They're saucy and impudent. But (BUTT!) no one wants to see outright mooning on the red carpet. That is a totally different statement, one even Rihanna probably doesn't want to make. Well okay, maybe she wants to make that statement a little bit -- by three inches.

At any rate, if I were a celeb, I would take this as a dare. And I would probably be working with a personal trainer and a stylist right now. But I'm just a blogger, which means I'm taking a deep breath and getting ready to chronicle Buttpocalypse 2014.

What do you think of Rihanna's butt crack -- sexy or too far?

Do you have saggy boobs? Thinking about getting a boob job but worried that the surgery is too invasive for the sort of subtle result you want? Well have I got a deal for you! At this point you should be imagining me dressed as a 1930s-era professional huckster. There yet? Good. I hope you've fully visualized a jaunty moustache.

The newest way to stack your rack is a surgical procedure called the internal bra. It's exactly what it sounds like. Two silicone cups are placed on your under-boob region by a plastic surgeon. They are kept in place by silk straps attached to your ribs by means of screws. So, you know, your average torture-yourself-for-beauty procedure, no big deal. Move along, nothing to see here, folks. I kid. IT'S A VERY BIG DEAL.

The whole point of this surgery is to spare you the super-invasive nature of a traditional breast implant. It's supposed to be the low-key way to get a little lift without feeling pressured to go big while they're in there. But let's be honest, this is a procedure that costs MORE money and might be LESS effective than your average boob job.

Think about it -- sure, you're in and out of surgery in an hour, but what do you come away with? Screws in your rib-cage, and no work done on your skin, which, presumably, sags along with the rest of your actual breast tissue. That sounds like it could be exceptionally gnarly.

I'm all for this procedure being pedaled around as one of the many options available to women looking to bolster their chests. But I think it's false advertising to present what is still an invasive surgical procedure as being "the end of breast implants." In my opinion, if you're having a fake bra attached to your insides? That's as breast implant-like as it gets.

Would you ever try an internal bra?
