Hi Laura,
I read a bit about you and your experience with cosmetic surgery and wanted to introduce myself as we are practically neighbors and have much in common.
First, I was a reading/resource room teacher in Kings Park School district for just over 20 years.
Second, I am the author of the newly published book, Sex, Lies and Cosmetic Surgery, based on the experiences of the over 100 women I interviewed, as well as my own experience. For me, it was a chin augmentation that made all the difference. Such an unsexy feature to make me feel more sexual!
When you get a chance, do visit my website at: www.sexliesandcosmeticsurgery.com/ tour around a bit, listen to my sound bits by clicking on the buttons and keep in touch if you can. It would be fun to meet one day.
Very best,
Lois W. Stern
