On this note, I wonder if it is inevitable that our beloved breast
implants that came into style in the 1980’s will eventually go out of
style as well?

As all of us women know all too well, fashions come and go, in and out
of style, from season to season, generation to generation. And, I’m
not just talking clothing here ladies; I’m talking about hair styles,
make-up, colors, accessories, and too many other things to mention
here. I’ve noticed through my 30 years of life that some fashions come
and go quickly, like the “poncho sweater” that was in style a few
seasons back. Now, while I thought the poncho sweater was cute, I
really did not foresee this particular look as being a style that
would “stick” more then one season, so I opted out of buying one. At
times, this “fly by night” style can be disappointing and quite
disheartening for those that decide to “buy into the style,” only to
be able to wear it once or twice before it quickly becomes a style of
the past. However, to my surprise, certain styles seem to come into
focus and actually stay for more then one season. Like the “Capri
pant” that came into style in the late 1990’s. At first, I was very
skeptical of this “look” and actually waited a season before
purchasing a pair. After one season of sporting my new “Capri” look, I
had an instant admiration for my Capri pants. I have been very pleased
over the last 10 years that Capri pants have stayed somewhat in style.
However, as we all know, all good things must come to an end. Capri
pants will eventually go out of style as every great fashion
inevitably does.

On this note, I wonder if it is inevitable that our beloved breast
implants that came into style in the 1980’s will eventually go out of
style as well? Recently, I read that Katie Andre (English Glamour
Model) was quoted as saying “I’ve been there with big boobs. They are
out of fashion. Pete loves my nose, because he had his done years
ago.” Katie recently had her implants reduced in size. Tori Spelling
was also recently quoted as saying “If I knew the styles were going to
be the way they are now, I wouldn’t have gotten my boobs done in the
’90s. The clothes now wear so much better when you’re smaller. In the
’90s it was all about big boobs in halter tops.”

The quotes from these two “Hollywood ladies” started me thinking……so,
if the clothes and fashions nowadays wear better when you have smaller
breasts, and glamour models and “Hollywood women” are being quoted
saying that big boobs are out of style, does this mean that the “big
fake boob generation” is finally coming to a close? This led me to do
additional research on this subject…what are people REALLY saying?

One man was recently quoted in menstyle.com as saying “The reality is
that the breast augmentation trend is past its prime. Porn ushered in
the big tittied age, and it’s ushering it back out with a lot of small
breasted girls nowadays.” Hmmmm, I thought, very interesting. I
figured this particular gentleman must be talking about the “Keira
Knightley’s, Eva Longoria’s and Kate Hudson’s” of the world. While all
three of these women have extremely successful movie and TV careers
right now, all three of them are A cups or under. Another man was
quoted on the same website as saying “And honestly, once the 40 year
old soccer moms start sporting the double DD’s under their jcpenny
sweatsuits, that’s the sign of the death of a trend. Once a trend is
reaching the 40 year old moms, that means a new trend will have to
replace it ASAP.” I found another quote in The OC Register from a
gentlemen commenting on Tamra Barnie from the Bravo television show
“Real Housewives of Orange County,” who in one episode downsized the
implants she’s had for years. The gentleman was quoted as saying “By
the same token we are seeing many women who get larger implants in
their late 30’s and 40’s. I’m sure there is a significant psychosocial
component to this, as the women seeking larger implants are trying to
recapture some aspect of their youth — more attention when their looks
are changing, perhaps divorced and now on the market again, trying to
rekindle relationships, etc.”

So what does all this mean? It means that as the women in their 40’s
and 50’s are upsizing their implants or getting implants placed for
the first time in an effort to recapture their youth, they actually
might be doing quite the opposite. As these women in their 40’s and
50’s are just now getting their implants, the younger generations in
their 20’s and 30’s are starting to downsize their implants, take them
out completely, or just plain say “enough with the big fake boobs, I
look better, feel better and I am proud of my natural breast size.”

We can only hope that one day soon we’ll be saying “bye bye big fake
breast implants, you are a fashion of the past!”
