POPSRemoving Tattoos: Who Does It and Why I'm sure in a few years, the removal of tattoos will become big business. About the time when gravity and age start sagging those fine works of body art into an unrecognizable piece of graffiti.

POPSThousands Flock to Revival in Search of Miracles Too many people claim to have "spoken to their god" and used the imagined status from this to cause problems for the world. Hardship for the people. It is as if they feel that they are capable of corrupting the image of that god to sate greed. Sad that something with the potential to do good, is so abused by greedy and corrupt people.

POPSAn Unnecessary Balm? "Dr. Mario Lacouture, the director of Northwestern’s Cancer Skin Care Program, sometimes treats skin conditions caused by targeted therapies with prescription corticosteroids and antibiotics. He will soon begin a study of over-the-counter products to see which best ameliorate side effects of targeted therapies. (Lindi Skin gave a $65,000 contribution to his research.)"

POPSBODACIOUS BODIES I JUST KNEW IT! LET'S FACE IT LADIES, WHAT COUNTS IS THE "WHOLE PACKAGE", THE HEART AND SOUL BEING MOST IMPORTANT. I'VE SEEN BODACIOUS WOMEN WHO ARE CLEANER, MORE METICULOUS AND WELL DRESSED THAN THE CREEP THEY ARE TRYING TO IMPRESS. WISE UP LADIES. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE AND PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THE NUMBER OF YOUNG WOMEN TODAY WHO HAVE NO SENSE OF SELF AND ARE BRAINWASHED INTO BELIEVING WHAT THEY SEE ON TV. THAT'S THE WORLD OF PLASTIC. THIS IS THE REAL WORLD.

POPSUnintelligent Design At this point, 30 years after the Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman and his late collaborator Amos Tversky started documenting a rash of fallacies in human reasoning, the idea that the human mind would be "perfect in His image" is as outdated (and narcissistic) as the idea that the solar system would revolve around the planet earth. The only theory that can really make sense of these needless imperfections is Darwin's theory of natural selection, which holds that humans (and all other life forms) evolve through a blind process known as descent-with-modification, in which new life forms represent random modifications of earlier life forms -- with no central overseer to guide the process. Such a random process can, over time, lead populations of creatures to become more adapted to their environment, but it is also vulnerable to getting stuck, in the sort of good-enough-but-not-perfect solutions that mathematicians call local maxima.

POPSVelvet D'Amour wants to diversify notions of modern beauty On top of how fantastic she is in and of herself, I love that she stands up for skinny models too. As one of the commenters on the Jezebel thread put it, "I think defending thin models is absolutely part of body acceptance; for me, the ultimate point of "fat activism" and ideas around body image is the recognition that one's worth as a human is not reflected or to be assessed by their physical form. That means no body is useless, ugly, or devalued, not fat, not thin, ever."

POPSGood job making that baby By Maggie Mason from MightyGirl. BNM says: With the latest crop of celebrity babies, the magazine covers are loaded with "how I lost the baby weight" stories. The outright disdain and loathing that Hollywood has for body fat is sad. You can't even create an entire human being without someone curling their lip at your glorious birthing hips, your nourishing thighs, your comforting breasts, your full joyful face. My body is more than my size. My body is amazing.

POPSThe Return of the Chastity Belt "It doesn't prevent customers asking for oral sex or masturbation for instance" Estu Fanani is in charge of a local women’s rights NGO, “LBH APIK”. The decision by Batu officials is a very bad one. It reduces the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace to only one part of the female body - the vagina. If the Batu authorities really want to protect their female therapists, why don’t they ask massage parlours to install video cameras or create open spaces? Then they would have evidence in order to be able to punish the men rather than the women. This decision is very hypocritical. It doesn’t prevent customers asking for oral sex or masturbation for instance. And what if these women have to go to the bathroom urgently? It could be dangerous for their health."

POPSMedical Quackery Devices Patented Dec. 12, 1905, the Timely Warning was manufactured as a solution to amorous dreaming. OMG! See those spikes? And while not listed at this site, I'm sitting here with a Dr. Pepper. It was originally created as a potion by pharmacist.

POPSBodyshock: The Amazing Story behind the 256 Year-Old Man "Looking at all of this from a medical and documented perspective: Jeanne Louise Calment, a French woman who died in 1997 so far holds the title for the person who has roamed the earth the longest: 122 years, which is a phenomenal length of time. That means, that if the records discovered by Wu Chung-chien were accurate, Li Ching-Yun’s age would surpass the official record by more than 130 years. Is this even medically possible? The detail, which seems to prove both arguments and debunk them at the same time, is Li’s youthful appearance, noted in a 1928 article from the New York Times. Visually and physically, he appeared to look like a typical 60 year-old. Does this therefore signify a superhuman body capable of lasting one quarter of a millennium, or is the story of Li Ching-Yun based on a series of half-truths, lies or exaggerations?"

POPSArt: Maria Lassnig - Nudes A new exhibition of Maria Lassnig's paintings is opening on April 25 at the Serpentine, London. Her work deals with the awareness we have of our own bodies, and rejects the strictures of traditional portraiture. Have a look at some of her work Truth and dare At nearly 90, the painter Maria Lassnig is producing the most confrontational work of her life. She talks to Adrian Searle The painter greets us, naked. She holds a gun to her own head, and aims another at her spectators. Maria Lassnig, approaching 90, might be trying to tell us something. You or Me is the title of this self-portrait, painted in 2005 and the first thing you see in her exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London. As well as an introduction, the painting is a test: bolt and run, or stay and face the consequences. I plunged right in.
