ORIGINAL: Stephann Something I don't typically discuss in public, but have a strong interest in, is body modification. I love the idea of adding tattoos, a variety of piercings, firebranding, a severe (but healthy and medically safe) diet, and corset training. Combined with a complete waredrobe overhaul, I see this as an opportunity to not only assert greater control over her life and lifestyle, but also as a means of giving her a permanent 'new look' that many women spend thousands of dollars on to try to get in a bottle, jar, or salon. I think these sort of exterior changes, over time, would be a natural complement to the interior changes that will also be taking place. I don't personally care to use any sort of surgery unless I feel it's absolutely necessary (i.e. breast reduction for example) as I don't see the benefits to typically outweigh the risks. My intentions are not for a 'temporary' change, but rather something lasting and sustainable for many decades. I'm quite aware that most women would not find find this sort of aggressive modification to be palatable. Thoughts? I guess my thoughts are that it seems a bit strange. Are you saying you are going to intentionally look for a woman who is mousy, not really working what she has, and a bit overweight to transform her like those makeover shows? There seem to be a lot of assumptions inherent in what you described: that she isn't dressed well, doesn't already have a good "look" going, and also mainly that you have a better sense of style then she would and thus your changes would actually improve how she looks. I've seen some submissives who have their wardrobe approved by their dominant (and can't ever cut/dye/perm their hair without their oversight, etc, etc) and frankly.... I've never been impressed. Assumptions that I think are inherent to your post aside, it just seems like an extension of body modification. I think sometimes things that seem like a good idea in theory, aren't so wonderful in practice. I also wonder about the longevity about such situations - I mean I do think that there is an implication that the person was chosen for their ability to have a dramatic change, which means they were selected for being in a sorry state of things. And that seems like that epiphany/understanding would be a little bit of a... blow to a womans self esteem. C~
