It's Jakes Actually

Whether it is Pamela Anderson’s ample bosom or Tom Cruise’s million dollar smile, we mere mortals aspire to the perfection that is being portrayed in the media. Some of us use the whitening toothpaste. The purchasing of which is quite a trying event as you do not want the person serving you to get the wrong idea about your personal hygiene. Some of us have far too much time on our hands and run or go to the gym to attain that svelte physique.

It is a general perception that cosmetic surgery, whether it is necessary or not, is only something for the rich and/or famous. Which brings me to my point, surely if you are earning truck loads of cash and are deemed a media figure you pay careful attention to little things like, oh a missing front tooth. Why oh why has football tycoon, Irvin Khoza, in all his wealth not gone to a dentist and had that missing incisor seen to? By no means am I campaigning for people to go out and have random surgeries so as to fit the image the media has created for us as a benchmark, but rather a little self pride. So Mr Khoza, extract a few bob out your bank account and have that gaping hole seen to, it is the World Cup year after all.
