First off: scars build character. It is so!

Second off: that pre-op pic is just the most beautiful thing. Poetry in a picture. Cheers,

Moi j'suis content qu'ils aient enlevés quelques commentaires dégueulasses, 'y a des gens ici qui s'amusent à mettre de ces trucs là où ils peuvent.

Moi j'adore les photos de chirurgies, disons qu'avec un père médecin tu prends vite l'habitude.

Félicitations encore pour ton début, j'sais que j'arrête pas de le dire mais c'est vraiment trop géniale ce que tu as fait avec P_mod.

Haha why does this not suprise me

*Makes the sour face*

OMG! You are an amazing woman - Thanks for sharing yourself with all of us in this site!

that was a wonderful journal entry. you are an awesome person. good luck with future projects. and ill say again, your set was awesome!!!

I thought your set was very well thought out and it is true that beauty/art can have a message that takes the viewer on a journey that expands their view and perception. Great work!

About the scar...I have one also. I have never heard of anyone having what I had back in '90-92. I thought the doctors were making it up or something. They told me the same thing, that it was when I had gills in the womb and they didn't close up all the way. But they just posited this "theory" and never officially told me what it was.

In my case it was just a tiny hole I guess, but my neck slowly began to swell. At first it was like a little knot in my neck, but eventually it grew and grew until it looked like I was trying to hide a golf ball in my neck, just under the skin. And I was a fast food restaurant manager, "how appetizing".

The doctors went round and round about it, and never told me for sure what it was. But I didn't have to have the full surgery. They were able to cut it open and it drained over the course of a couple of months. Was not fun. Had an iodine wick in my neck to make sure the cut would stay open so I had to run around with my neck all bandaged up the whole time. Wasn't thrilled with a "in the public eye" job during THAT time.

People ask me occasionally about my scar also. Just to see their reaction I will tell them I was stabbed at a concert or something and barely survived. After they freak out I tell them that, "No", I had a golf ball removed from my neck. I tell them the whole gill thing and they look at me like I'm crazy.

BUT I'M NOT! You have gone through this too! Thanks for sharing, I'm glad I've met someone else who went through that.

Beautiful, a great mind, creative, and having interesting human experience. What a wonderful combination! Continued success!

Amazing scar, always nice to hear the story behing it too! Thought i'd post here to say how amazing your set is, it reaches out to alot of people, like me! With the stupid image of what women look like in the mainstream media, it's hard not to think about weight and image all the time.
