Good Legs

When I noticed that this same girl appeared in both ads only a few pages apart in the same magazine, I concluded either that

• (1) either the Gregory System of hair removal doesn't work or the Swanson Center's doesn't, depending on where she went first, or
• (2) her leg hair grows really fast.

Also, notice the subtle difference, below, between the photos.

Swanson Center

Magical disappearing fabric, revealing more leg and some butt.

Lesson?  Don't believe anything you see.  Clearly at least one of these is faked, and for a reason.

In case you're having trouble deciding between the Gregory System and the Swanson Center, here's some information that might be of interest.   From an article in The Kansas City Star of Wednesday, April 14, 1999, under the byline of Richard Espinoza:

Plastic surgeon,
state board agree
on punishment

A plastic surgeon and the Kansas Board of Healing Arts reached a settlement Monday after the doctor agreed that he was negligent in the treatment of two patients who were scarred and one patient who was prescribed an overdose of medicine.

Eris Swanson, who operates at Swanson Center Cosmetic & Laser Surgery in Overland Park and North Kansas City, agreed to pay the board $40,000, limit his work and let another doctor monitor him.

The Kansas Board of Healing Arts censured Swanson for misleading advertisements and named a doctor to monitor him until Oct. 1, 2001. . . .

According to the stipulation and enforcement order that was entered Monday, Swanson in January 1995 used a chemical peel solution that was too strong, giving a woman a third-degree chemical burn that left her with a red, rope-like scar over her upper lip. . . .

About five months later, Swanson scarred another patient during a chemical facial peel.  Swanson agreed that he didn't make sure that the patient properly prepared the skin, didn't perform a test patch, didn't monitor the patient to treat scarring and didn't properly perform the procedure.

In January 1996, the agreement said, Swanson prescribed an overdose of Seldane-D after he performed nasal surgery on a woman.  He told the woman to take one or two tablets every four hours, but the proper dose of the medicine -- which is no longer prescribed -- was one tablet twice a day, said Larry Buening Jr., executive director of the Board of Healing Arts. . . .

Swanson denied other complaints, including one that he was negligent in the treatment of a patient who died after losing blood during an operation in August 1995.
