Boobs Hardest Hit By Sagging Economy

Speaking of boobs, botox injections are also down.
Manhattan cosmetic surgeon Lawrence Milgrim doesn't need to read the latest analysis of his industry to know he's getting nipped and tucked by the economy.

"We've had a dropoff just because of the economic environment," said Milgrim. "Some of the larger procedures have dropped off more than some of the smaller procedures."

"I think today the gestalt is, 'Don't change me, just make me look better than I am now.'"

A study released Monday shows Milgrim isn't the only plastic surgeon hurting.

Cosmetic surgical procedures have plummeted 15% in the past year, and nonsurgical procedures are down 12%, according to the survey by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Nationwide, breast augmentations, which cost up to $4,000, fell from nearly 400,000 in 2007 to 355,671 last year. Tummy tucks, which run $5,400, were down by 37,943 cases, while the number of $2,800 eyelid surgeries was off by 45,659.

Even $443 Botox injections dropped from 2.7 million in 2007 to 2.4 million last year.
That dropoff of 300,000 accounts just for Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry.

Dumb Sluts for Hillary!

Who knows, it could just be a lame attempt at getting her horribly reconstructed face back in the news, or she could be sincere.

She sure comes off as really stupid, so I'll assume her support for The Pantsuit is genuine.

Wisely enough though, when it comes to whores and hookers, the Clinton camp was at least smart enough to refuse comment.

Former madam is 'big fan of Hillary': Clinton camp has no response
Former Hollywood madam and current rural Nevada small businesswoman Heidi Fleiss was turned away from Hillary Clinton's appearance in Pahrump last week, but she doesn't hold a grudge.

Fleiss, who is running a laundromat while she continues to dream of opening a brothel for women, is backing Sen. Clinton, D-N.Y., for president with all her might, she said.

By the time Fleiss and two neighbors got to the Skate Zone where Clinton was appearing, it was filled to capacity. "Naturally, I was disappointed, but it's exciting that so many people came out to see her," Fleiss said. "I don't hold it against her at all."

Fleiss is a registered Democrat who says she voted in every election from when she turned 18 to when she was convicted of felony charges and had her voting privileges revoked. They have been reinstated, she said.

"I'm a big fan of Hillary's. Any woman who's smart, how can you not be?" said Fleiss, 41. "Even if you're a Republican, if you're a woman and you're smart, you have to respect her."

Fleiss described herself as a "tree-hugger" who is generally liberal but favors the death penalty. She said her business, "Dirty Laundry," is thriving -- "I just had to buy another super-size washing machine" -- and she also wants to develop wind turbines on some land she owns. The day after the Clinton visit, she attended a forum on energy in Pahrump hosted by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Fleiss is not the first sex-industry veteran to endorse Clinton. The campaign has the official backing of porn star Jenna Jameson.
