The nightmarish QuickTime short "Beauty Kit" parodies toy ads for children, instructional health videos, and modern-day body image psychosis by way of a do-it-yourself breast augmentation kit for young girls. When you live in LA, this is not such a far stretch of imagination: I've heard testimony from SoCal teens of late-teenage daughters in wealthy families receiving plastic surgery as gifts from adult family members. For real. While you're on this site, check out the rest of pleix.net's short films, which are fantastic. For instance, e-baby — utterly chilling.
