So...I can't keep a lid on this one any longer.
I was hoping the urge to discuss it would pass me by, but it hasn't. Hence I'm going to submit to it and let the cards fall where they may.
This person I know---who shall remain anonymous---is receiving an unusual present for Christmas. I say "receiving" because they haven't actually gotten their present yet, but will be sometime in the near future.
You, my devoted Cake Eater readers, are undoubtedly wondering what this "unusual" Christmas present is.
Well, it's a boob job.
It's something that she wants, and her husband is quite happy with her the way she is, but has told her if this is what she really wants, she should go ahead with it and this will be her Christmas present.
What say you, my devoted Cake Eater readers? Would you be happy with a boob job for a Christmas present? Would you be happy, if you're one of my male Cake Eater readers, giving your wife this present, instead of, say, a nice piece of jewelry? Or is this just like giving money to your spouse to buy that bass fishing boat they've always wanted.
Discuss.

No.
q. 2 Can't speak for male readers, or for other female readers, only for myself. I'd much rather get a nice piece of jewelry, preferrably from Tiffany's -- Elsa Peretti stuff, for instance, especially if measured in carats.
Would you be happy with a boob job for a Christmas present?
Not really as I don't think very many people find men with boobs attractive. Although I could stay home and entertain myself for hours.
Would you be happy...
If she's happy with the idea, and doing it for do make herself happy, then more power to her. If she's getting chesticle work to fulfill her husband's fascination with bouncies or to compete with the girl next door’s girls, well that's when I would object.
Say what???????
And Phin really does need a boob job...

Posted by: Robert the Llama Butcher at January 10, 2006 12:22 PMWell, I guess you've finally answered the question "What do you give the woman who has everything...in relatively small amounts."
I'm not into boob jobs - for many reasons, starting with the fact that yaks look silly with implants.
I'm not into giving boob jobs - I think I'd be more inclined to try and give the woman in question a boost to her self-image. Wait - I guess, in her case, that means a boob job. If it's what she really wanted, I suppose the answer is "let them have boobs."
Posted by: The Random Yak at January 10, 2006 12:26 PMI'm vote "FOR" Phin's cosmetic surgery (I'm odd that way), but I do think a boob job as a "gift" is odder yet. It's not anything like your example of a bass boat. (Though come to think of it, it is a bit like a life-preserver.)
Posted by: Bob at January 10, 2006 12:32 PMDepending on the situation it sounds like a great stocking stuffer. Question: can you return them if they're the wrong size or color?
Posted by: Night Writer at January 10, 2006 12:38 PMBooks. Give me books. Or a bookstore. Magazines, paperdolls, an mp3 player, nix on the jewelry or boob jobs...and I suppose it would be for Chanukah or my birthday...

Stick to jewelry. I got over big boobs in law school when I saw a set with stretch marks.
Posted by: LMC at January 10, 2006 05:31 PMNo. Unless it was a reduction... Really - and I'd be more than pleased to DONATE!

Think ahead...that's my motto.
Trust me. Implants on a 70 year old woman look "udderly" ridiculous.
Those who have the smaller set, want bigger ones; and those who have bigger set, want smaller ones.
That is one guy's observation...
Posted by: KMR at January 10, 2006 07:35 PMWould I like a boob job for Christmas?
Hmm. At one time, the answer would have been an emphatic yes. My mom's friend for many years took out a "Home Improvement Loan." (I always thought that was VERY DAMNED CLEVER of her.) My neighbor on the AF base in Oklahoma got one. Nicest set of titties I ever did see. (And yes, I not only got to see them but I got to feel 'em too.) And before anyone thinks I'm kinky to the extreme, she had done her research and the implants were placed under her musculature instead of just under the skin and they looked DAMNED FINE.
Watching her have to go through the pain of massaging those bad boys every night so they wouldn't harden up, though, was one deal-breaker for this chick. I have a high tolerance for pain but that was REEEE-DICULOUS. I also was told by several plastic surgeons that I could not be guaranteed NO LOSS OF SENSATION. (I have pretty sensitive nipples and. . .well, lets just say that's not altogether a bad thing.)
And then I hit 40. And you know, God gave me this little titties. And they've been pretty good to me -- they're even getting ready to use 'em to nourish the Wee Bairn, so I know they work. . .
So, no. I'd rather have a new car.
But I can certainly understand why someone ELSE would enjoy that Christmas present -- and if that's what their hearts' desire, then I say: GO FOR IT.

It depends on who is attached to the boobs in question. ;o)>
