Last week Kylie Jenner cemented her new identity as a ‘girl's girl’ revealing the specificities of her boob job while momager Kris chimed in with details of not just one face lift, but two of them. Are the KarJenners finally letting their guard down about how they crafted themselves in line with the modern beauty standards they've helped craft, or is it all a marketing ploy to win relatability brownie points for the family?
In this episode of The Polyester Podcast, hosts Ione and Gina are ripping apart the rampant normalisation of plastic surgery on social media - considering the actual statistics surrounding cosmetic procedures as well as the status of people turning their treatments into consumable content. Is self improvement culture to blame for our warped understanding of bodily autonomy? Has choice feminism poisoned all of our brains? And will our collective self esteem ever recover from the impact of influencers?
