A reader from Saudi Arabia sent me this message: "I want to write about a disturbing development ( bad word to use but my mind is clogged at the moment) I have seen in the Arab world: plastic surgery and stomach stapling. As'ad, it is truly sad and gross. Women are looking more like Donald Ducks with their injected lips. Lipo suction, stomach stapling, butt enhancement and I don't know what have become the norm for women here. The epidmic have reached the poor also. As'ad, what is happeining to Arab women???...they have been taken by Hollywood and its image marketing. Is this globalization? What on earth is going on? I hope you can bring this social epidmeic on your blog."
