Remember
my cartoon about surgical so-called Mommy Makeovers? Enter
My Beautiful Mommy, a children's book by a plastic surgeon... in which Mommy explains to her daughter why Mommy needs bigger boobs, a perkier nose and a tummy tuck to be prettier.
Found via the fabulous women of Feministing.
"Then you'll have the prettiest mommy in the whole wide world."
ReplyDeleteSeriously? This isn't a parody?
I could vomickus.
Not a parody at all. It's a marketing tool written by a plastic surgeon for his patients and their kids. EEK!
ReplyDeleteAs child's literature, it borrows from the worst of, say, Barney licensed picture books, and then adds its own element of manipulative, sexist evil.
