Jo Weldon: Sex Worker Style

This is so gooooood! It made me think of a book I read while I was researching the history of breast enhancement called *American Plastic: Boob Jobs, Credit Cards, and the Quest for Perfection* about the connection between financial deregulation and cosmetic surgery. I don't agree with all of the author's takes on the ramifications of plastic surgery (I have a boob job and have known many many people who get plastic surgery for cosmetic and gender identification purposes, among others) but it's worth reading.

I couldn’t watch this before it came out but I just finished it on YT and it’s so good! So interesting!! I was so surprised and happy you mentioned St Agatha’s breasts cassatelle (I’m Italian). Answering your questions: as someone with a bigger chest I still absolutely hate my boobs because I always feel like they’re being stared at. I’ve been inappropriately sexualised and deemed stupid and vulgar throughout my life because of them. I know it’s society and all that but I’m not strong enough to fight back. I only wear non-padded bras and can’t stand wired ones. Thankfully bralettes and thinner ones are easy to find (though not so much in my actual size). I’d like to be braless but it’s quite inconvenient, personally.
