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

by Dan Gould

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.
