Pick, tweeze, pull, pluck: Glance in the mirror for my next tuck. Here's a confession: it's a horrible obsession. My beauty is no longer in my possession. I'm manufactured; a walking billboard of cosmetics. I'm but skin covered metal and prosthetics. Try as I may, reality will never meet my ideal distortions. I no longer know my natural proportions.
