Botox Anyone?

Photobucket
Things are coming along in the world of cosmetic surgery!! We've established some great contacts in the last week, and what was looking like a dry river of access has turned into a flood of information and willing consultants!! Hopefully this deluge remains throughout the project.

As of now, we have a woman who regularly undergoes botox treatments, and has participated in botox "parties". She is willing, and practically pushing for us to film one of her treatments in the coming month! She may also connect us with others who undergo similar treatments. Thanks to Patricia, we have a consultant at a local salon who is willing to give us an interview and perhaps give Tin a facial. Speaking of Tin, his hard work has put us in a great position to capture the innards of the cosmetic surgery industry! Through a physician friend of his, we hope to gain access to, and film a surgical procedure!! We'll be pitching our film at his facility this week in hopes of acquiring permission to document a tummy tuck/face lift/liposuction/breast enlargement/etc. procedure! There is also the possibility of a contact within a penis-enlargement office!!

Now we just need to narrow down our angle and pin-point how we're going to drive this train to make an interesting and personal documentary. I will admit, this class is turning out to be formidable. There are times when it seems overwhelming, and I'm sure its going to get even more so. But, I'm really excited to see what's going to happen in the coming months.

Sounds great guys! In addition, I spoke with my boss and the nurses at my office and they would be willing to give you guys an interview as well, if that is a path you would like to go down. (Remember, my office is only non-surgical, so just injections and lasers, no penis enlargement or breast augmentation).

Nice lipo picture. If you want, I have some brochures with before and after botox pictures.
