For Better or Worse, Body Mod Takes a Leap Into Fantasy Land

For Better or Worse, Body Mod Takes a Leap Into Fantasy Land

By Dan Gould on July 31, 2008

The latest body modification fad to come down the line is ear sculpting. Body mod expert Russ Foxx has developed a surgical process that will transform your human ears into a pointy pair of elf ears.

Huh?

I wonder if these people will still love their ears down the road? There seems to be a growing nonchalance around doing whatever it takes to work your body into some inhuman ideal. In a similar story, a recent New York Times article explained the growing trend of brides-to-be making over their entire wedding party with botox, teeth whitening and breast implants. Whether trying to look like a fantasy character, or a model, the common use of medical procedures to attain some “look” is highly questionable.
