Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

            Manufacturing beauty
            Going under the scalpel and the bleach creams in Mumbai

            Sitting in a midtown cafe in Mumbai, there are about a dozen gorgeous women all around me.

            Some are clearly young, aspiring models and actresses hoping to get noticed by the right casting director. This is the heart of Bollywood after all.

            Others are older, with perhaps a few too many collagen injections. They, too, are beautiful and they have money to burn.

            This is part of the life and look of the new middle class in South Asia's cultural capital, where beauty is big business.

            Over the past decade, with the rise of real wealth among India's middle and upper classes, there has come a boom in the demand for cosmetic surgeries and procedures.

            And the most popular procedures might surprise you: Overwhelmingly, Indian women are getting "work" done that makes them look more like white women.

            Skin bleaching, nose jobs and liposuction are by far the most popular requests.

            'Everyone is getting it done'
            At Dr. Purnima Mahtre's Gorgeous Skin Care Clinic in Mumbai, the waiting room is packed with women willing to pay enormous amounts to look like their favourite Hollywood actresses.

            A producer with the CBC's As It Happens, Natasha Fatah reports regulary on her visits back to India. Her two recent radio documentaries, Dark India and Plastic India, on India's obsession with fair skin and plastic surgery can be heard by clicking on these two links. They run 5.35 and 6.10 minutes respectively.
            "Oh, this industry is growing at a very fast pace, not only in Mumbai but all over India," says Mahtre, who practised for two years in Canada, before returning to India.

            She is now one of the most successful cosmetic surgeons in the city and a regular feature in the society columns.

            Dr. Mahtre assures me she is not exaggerating when she says she expects a 50 per cent increase in business, which is a pretty big jump from the already frantic pace of seeing about 90 clients a day at her three clinics.

            In fact, she is hoping to open 22 more clinics all across India by the end of next year.

            "Everybody is getting it done," says Susie, a 27-year-old marketing director who wants liposuction.

            'Susie' doesn't want her identity revealed so she gives me a Western name to match the Western look she would like to have.

            She says she's 25 to 30 pounds over weight and, according to her, being plump isn't acceptable anymore in today's India.

            Neither is being dark skinned or having a broad, hooked nose, features that are traditionally associated with being from the subcontinent.

            India's mainstream media is telling women, with varying degrees of subtlety, that the more white you look, the better, says Susie and thousands like her.

            Bleach cream
            That's why Fair And Lovely skin bleach cream is the biggest selling beauty product in the country, with an ad campaign that says "Guaranteed fairness or your money back."

            This emphasis on fairness, however, "is having a bad impact on society as a whole," says Mariam Davley, an activist for women's rights.

            In 2006, she sued Fair And Lovely when their commercials had become particularly negative about dark-skinned women.

            She won her case and now Fair And Lovely only focuses on the so-called positive side of being fair.

            Davley argues that this widespread penchant for lighter skin and model-like bodies only encourages people to look on women as objects.

            And there is some indication that Bollywood is starting to take notice, even if only just a little.

            One of the more popular TV series in India these past three years has been Saloni Ka Safar (Saloni's Journey), which tells the story of a confident, dark-skinned woman making her way in the world.

            It is a big step from the day when actresses such as Nandita Das, one of the stars of the Deepa Mehta films Fire and Earth, were passed over because of their complexion.

            Even Vogue India recently put a dark-skinned model on its cover, observes fashion editor Bandana Tewari, who was much in favour of the move.

            This, she says, after years in which "brown models were routinely Photoshopped white."

            Fly-ins
            A big part of the current boom in India's cosmetic-surgery industry is coming from abroad, which helps create extra capacity for those who live here year round.

            Women of Indian descent living in Europe and North America are booking their surgery dates in Mumbai.

            Often referred to as NRIs (for non-residential Indians), these women come flooding in during the summer months as well as for their winter holidays in December and January.

            For them, they pay a fraction of the cost they would for the same procedures in the West.

            Plus, they get treated like royalty with personal assistants to tend to their needs. And they get to heal in a place where none of their friends back home can see the scarring and bruising.

            Indians, of course, aren't alone in wanting to look better and younger.

            People all over the world are seeking out these same procedures.

            But, some say this desire to look European is deeply rooted in India's history and psyche because of the centuries of British colonialism and subjugation.

            "We ape the West," says Susie. "We were ruled for 200 years by white people so it shows that a certain amount of power came with being white. White is beautiful. And beauty is power, right?"

              Re: Become Wiser to Womens Evil Ways

              My grandfather once told my father that you'll know if a woman is beautiful if she still looks beautiful coming fresh faced and rosy cheeked out of a shower.

              I tried looking for some statistics concerning which countries peoples have had the most work done. All the results i get are based off which country has the most procedures done which is not completely accurate considering many come to the States and Mexico to get procedures done, only to leave.

              Btw, how healthy is it to bleach your skin anyway? I can hear "CANCER" screaming in my thoughts.

                Honestly....a man has to be a monumental idiot not to be wise to this. This has been going on for how many centuries? If there are men who still aren't aware that most womens' appearance is fake, then there's just no hope for those men. This is why it boggles my mind when guys think celebrities are "sooooo fuking hot!!!!" Seriously, you dolt? You seriously think that's what they look like in reality? Almost anyone can look good when you have a 10 man make-up crew working on you.

                Regardless, it's completely bullsh*t that women get to conceal how they actually look by literally making up a face (or making up for the imperfections of their face), basically presenting false advertising, while men have to venture out bare to the world and hope that's good enough. There is no making your lips look perfect for us, making your eyes look bigger, laying down foundation to cover up bad complexion, etc (unless you're gay, of course). We have to come as we are while women get to come as who they'd like you to THINK they are (aka make up a pretty enough face to land a man).

                I motion that we ban make up!
