Tyra Banks, Former Supermodel, Reveals a Vision of the Future for Plastic Surgery
In the future, everyone will have access to plastic surgery. It will be as easy as going to the drugstore to pick up a Tylenol, Tyra Banks says. This is what Banks, a former supermodel and reality show host, thinks about the future of beauty.
For articles in The Wall Street Journal last week, the newspaper asked celebrities about their vision of the future. They asked Banks, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
Zuckerberg wrote that everyone will have access to the Internet. Swift said the music landscape will have changed so much that artists will be connecting directly with the audience first, rather than with the establishment, the Journal reported.
Banks took her vision of the future a lot further by coming up with a list of 10 ideas. One of her ideas was the aforementioned easy access to plastic surgery.
Banks' remaining nine ideas are as follows, according to the Journal:
1. There will be no more hair extensions, and possibly no more wigs. We will all be growing our own hair by just applying a special serum to our scalps. And we could choose to make our hair curly.
2. Global warming will have impacted our resources so much that natural food will have become scarce. Women will aspire to have hourglass and curvy-shaped bodies because they will represent wealth and healthy eating.
3. Babies' features will be altered as easily as food is ordered at a "fast-food drive through." Blue and green eyes will be popular eye color choices for example, while dark brown will be rare.
4. Skin color and facial features will be alterable into whatever most people have.
5. Changing eye and skin color will make beauty more readily available, but everyone will look alike.
6. The idea of beauty will have transcended so much that models will be "as relevant as a horse and buggy." Robots/avatars will advertise beauty.
7. Everyone will have a personal "robot/assistant/companion."
8. While plastic surgery will be more available, some will not choose it, preferring what Banks calls "beauty ingestibles." These ingestibles will give temporary results, such as "contoured cheekbones, rosy cheeks and arched eyebrows," Banks wrote. The caveat is that to maintain the features, we'll have to keep ingesting the products.
9. Finally, Banks claims that "women's empowerment will be an irrelevant concept," because women will already have attained so much, and it therefore will not be an issue. To add to this, Banks says women will be having babies at up to 120 years old.
