ALOHA FRIDAY

February 17, 2012

It's Aloha Friday.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... 

Aloha folks.

I received a DVD set of the complete "Barney Miller" TV series for my birthday. I love watching "Barney". There's so much in the series that is relevant even today.

But one thing I noticed was the less-than-ample bosoms of a great many of the female actors. In particular I noticed in one episode, an episode where Wojohowitz falls for a prostitute and asks her to move in with him, an actress who is almost flat-chested. But she is absolutely beautiful. Several other actresses in the series were also beautiful, but less than overly-endowed.

So what has happened over the past 30-40 years? Why are so many of the movie and television stars so . . . exceedingly bountiful. One answer, breast implants.

Remember the first silicon injections? Gigantic breasts became the norm — followed years later by massive disfigurements for some women.

Then plastic surgeons developed a new method. Breast prostheses filled with silicone gel. Suddenly women everywhere were going from A to B or C or D. Some even went further (but those who went that far soon found that sleeping on their backs was no longer a choice but rather a necessity).

But why? Why did, and why do, so many women seek to increase their breast size? Childbearing will usually do that naturally for a woman. So why this unnatural desire to increase their breast size?

Because women think men find them more attractive with large breasts is my primary guess. Do men in general prefer large breasts?

Undoubtedly a lot of men do prefer big-breasted women. But there are also a great many men, myself included, who are turned off by women who have gone beyond what nature intended them to have. Women who seem to have trouble walking without falling forward, dragged down by their implants.

Beautiful breasts are not necessarily defined by size. Shape, balance, and other factors are just as, if not more, important.

It's too bad that movies, television and commercial advertisements tend to play up large breasts over smaller ones. Cleavage is pushed to the front when selling all types of products.

But large breasts, overly large usually, can be intimidating. After all, a small breast in the hand is quite a nice handful. An overly large breast . . . requires more than one hand.

Enough on breasts. I think perhaps I seem a bit fixated. Maybe next time we'll talk about the body part that so many men seem to want to enlarge on themselves.

Okay folks, see you next week.
