Elite don't appear to care, as evidenced by their jokey comments about Cara's upcoming boobjob on their twitter feed etc.
(Plus the predominance of plastic breasted women on their late nights hardly demonstrates a pro-natural agenda.)
Hopefully cara's network of glamour model friends will be more responsible in advising her, particularly as the UK mainstream glamour industry outside the babe channels is extremely pro-natural and has been for a while, one of the few rays of hope in this depressing tale.

There is definitely also pressure from agents and the industry itself. Anna was on the forum last week expressing her frustration at the tunnel vision search for big boobs that was impeding her in the glamour industry.
All these factors will compound and the girls naturally lose perspective.

Apparently a large majority of women who have breast implants regret it either immediately or later on in life (or both). The physical scarring bever goes away, and as a quick fix for low self-esteem it is not any kind of solution.
Couldn't agree more. And as you say we have our part to play in this. To be sure, Elite models are made aware of this forum even if they rarely post (or only use it to plug stuff aka Sophia lol) so it's alarming to me how muddy a message is being sent out by those who have posted since this news was announced.

It's so true. If Cara is not getting as much work as she desires, it's far too easy to blame it on her boobs for example rather than perhaps looking at the girls you mention and how they maximize the value of their assets.
i.e. It's always easier for the workman to blame his tools
The fact is that Cara Brett has one of the most gorgeous natural bodies on any of the channels and some combination of factors has distorted her perspective so badly that she views that natural figure as a liability rather than an asset!!!
It's a sobering example of how the culture of boobjobs has spiralled sickeningly out of control and any kind of logic.
