I guess you haven't heard of Spanx.

I'm on the fence. I love pretty things, and I love dressing up sometimes. But on the other hand I completely agree with your point about being accepted for your organic self.

I really don't know how to feel about most of it and chalk it up to personal taste, but I hope that all women keep the idea of context in mind, and I do disagree strongly with elective cosmetic surgery, pharmaceuticals for longer lashes, etc.
