Ahh ok! Thanks for the info about no ribs being removed to look like how she is.

I will edit that.

No ribs removed but her organs are all scrunched up ew i'd feel sick wearing a corset, how does she keep food down when there's no space for it? And what happens when (if) she takes the corset off does she snap in half or something?

You can read more about Cathie Jung at her website: Homepage Cathie Jung

The organs can acctually move around inside the stomach to a certain point, apparantly she's completly healthy and have a normal diet. A small waist is something she finds beautiful, lots of people wear corsets (I am one of them, but only at special occations) and before I gained weight, I could lace myself to a 20" waist without problems. It's acctually kinda nice to wear a corset, it supports the back and you'll get a nice posture. If it's made to fit and if you listen to your body and don't lace it more than you can handle at the time, you'll have no problems what so ever with eating, breathing, walking etc.

I acctually think it's kinda sad that you write stuff like "Freak" and such, I mean sure it doesn't look "normal" but this is something she has chosen to do herself and she think it's pretty. Just as some people choose to put in breast implants, split their tounges or have tattoos all over their body.
I think people have a right to look what ever they want without having loads and loads of web pages dedicated to how bad they look and that they are freaks for doing so with their bodies.

AKKKK! what the hell.

when i scrolled down and started reading the comments, i was like, "oh okay, done with the pics.." and there it was, haunting me again with the recollection of the picture on one of the comments..

wow..i guess if this is the way she feels beautiful, then let her be it, but wow, she looks so uncomfortable.

 

[kimmy]

O_O

 

[TRES TEAL]

[Le-Saboteur]

I'm all for doing whatever the hell you want to your body, but looking at those pictures makes me feel ill.

 

[geeko]

i can't imagine any real woman doing this to herself. OMG

 

[chocolategoddes]

[lindado]

:O i saw her on oprah, scary >.<

 

[candidilyme]

that's soo grosss.. because all her stuff is pushed down it looks like shes bloated

 

[redambition]

hrmmmm. interesting.

one of the links posted shows some famous celebrities who have trained waists.

dita von teese is among them.

i think that 15" is a bit too far, but i quite like the corset/mild waist training thing. i have tried on a proper corset and it was so comfortable, and the waist outline it gave me was brilliant!

I don't see how this is any different to getting liposculpted, implanted, getting bone rescuplture, limb lengthening or anything else that's become completely normalised and falls under the umbrella of aesthetic surgery.

Who am I to throw judgement calls like 'freak' around?

 

[SparklingWaves]

My mom told me how she wishes she had the body she had when she was 18. She had such a small waist. Well, her wish has come true. She can just wear one of these contraptions and eat very tiny meals all day to get that youthful figure in no time.

I can see my mom hitting me in the head with that thing and saying, "I would like to take deep breaths and eat. Don't abuse your mother."

 

[lovelyweapon]

Lara and Purity are absolutely right. This would be considered normal in our society if only it were more common. We look at her and think "Gross!" because it is unusual for us. I don't think it's fair to her that people would call her a freak because really it is what she considers beautiful.

 

[happy*phantom]

Well, I admit that corsets aren't my cup of tea (they look like alien material on me-I'm definitely no femme fatale/ Dita type) but if this lady is happy and healthy (she's studied biology and has to know about the human body. Besides her hubby is an orthopedic surgeon, I think she's in good hands)it's ok. It's her design of life though it's quite different from the ordinary standards. But when are we able to allow people to be different? Piercings, head scarfs, corsets, skin colour etc... are part of one's personal philosophy of life and identity. Would you prohibit them? If one do so, one principally questions peoples right to exist.

omg- scary

 

[aaj83]

OMG!!!
