Photographer Phillip Toledano explores cosmetically altered beauty (NSFW):

I’m interested in what we define as beauty, when we choose to create it ourselves.

Beauty has always been a currency, and now that we finally have the technological means to mint our own, what choices do we make?

Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history? Or is it defined by the surgeon’s hand? Can we identify physical trends that vary from decade to decade, or is beauty timeless?

When we re-make ourselves, are we revealing our true character, or are we stripping away our very identity?

Perhaps we are creating a new kind of beauty. An amalgam of surgery, art, and popular culture? And if so, are the results the vanguard of human induced evolution?

Fascinating.

Octomom Nadya Suleman has been going to the Gym every night as per TMZ even being kicked out of one because she was falling behind on her monthly gym payments and here's the result.

Yes she's been exercising, but still who's her surgeon? I'm sure many in Hollywood we'll be looking to find out! Either way this chic has 14 kids! I have to admit she does look amazing.

Thoughts? Is that body via natural or “mechanical” means?
