Nicky was born to the upper class of the grand Mega-city of Ohio. She grew up never wanting for anything, shielded from the dark truth of the world around her. Technology had always been a part of her life due to her families involvement in the development of the Mega-cities themselves. After she was disowned though Nicky discovered how hard life really was in the cities. From riches to rags, she hit bottom and began to work up. Not that she remembers any of that. After the accident, well that is a whole different story. [b]Appearance/Style Description:[/b] Nicky's body really is a prime example of the of what the modern medical practices can accomplish. She should have been left missing her arms, and scarred on nearly 70% of her body. But …show more content…
Her hair still remains to long now that she has grown it back out. The color of warm brown with a touch of caramel and honey highlights. Her eyes remain an icy blue, which only helps to add to her ice queen reputation. Nicky's style is fairly simple, where it may have once been diverse and able to draw the eye. She now only goes for form and function, even during her down time she seems to come off as professional. Her Exo-Suit is specially designed for her unique physical attributes and skill set.

But it only proves to push her further away. She tends to stick to her team, or herself finding it hard to hear about who she used to be. Nicky can't remember that woman, easy going, smart ass, that bucked against the rules. A woman that had no trouble making friends, or being willing to fight because she cared and a passion that couldn't easily be satisfied. Perhaps it is because she now has to numb what her body can feel. Maybe when a person stops feeling anything physically, its harder to connect to it emotionally? Nicky isn't sure, but she is still searching, for who she really is and a bit of that old spark she used to have back in the
In today’s society we often base our first impressions of others based on how they look. We outcast people all the time based on their physical qualities, and we often forget that beauty does not only consist of physical traits, it also lies within. This episode shows significant affinity to our society today, people spend thousands of dollars on things such as Botox, and plastic surgeries to fix the way that they look. Looks also affect whether we get a particular job, and fit into a certain group. We often categorize ourselves into particular groups of people that we believe we share similar physical traits with, because we are often afraid of what others will think of us. When they revealed patient 307 I was surprised, I did not predict

After reading the book, I ponder that Nick forfeits a respect to her as a adult’s perspective and I pity her whenever he shows such an attitude.
Beginning with her spruced face, the skin is tanned with mild wrinkles located on the forehead, and in-between
“Tough Guise explains the major changes within body images over the decades as well,” I stated trying to move into the next major topic I wanted to explain. My grandmother began to smile and replied that there could not have been a drastic change in how body image is seen. I corrected her with the example of G.I. Joe, the action figure usually for young boys. I began to explain that within the document three images where shown of how differently the action figure looks through the years. G.I. Joe’s of the past were seen as muscular army figures that could resemble a real life person. Although today’s G.I. Joe cannot resemble a real life figure because the proportions of the body are too large. These changes within the body type of a toy only expressive the major change within the body image of society. Young boys are being socialized to view bigger as better while women are viewing skinny are pretty. “These are drastic changes,” my grandmother states as she leads me to the old toy box; where we find a few action figures and Barbie’s to show everyone else.
Her legs were long, lean, and tan. Her blue shorts were loose, unlike her shirt. It was pitch black; showing all her curves and her flat toned stomach, but sadly it didn't show anything more than her neck and hands. Her dark brown hair was pulled in a high, messy ponytail. A strand of hair had fallen out and was on her full pink lips a split second before she unconsciously brushed it away. I took a moment before I finally looked her into her brown eyes. They weren't the brightest but by far the most captivating as she too studied me.
Graydon explains that magazines are not the only source criticizing women’s bodies. She says that publications are helping as well. Graydon states that there are now more ways for women to “fix” their bodies. These techniques include, but are not limited to: liposuction, stomach stapling, anti-cellulite creams, breast, butt, cheek and chin implants, Botox and collagen injections, chemical peels, as well as many more techniques. Graydon calls these techniques heart-stopping because in the last couple of years, three famous women, Olivia Goldsmith, Micheline Charest, and Donda West, have lost their lives due to complications from plastic surgery. She later states that there have been more women who have lost their lives from the same complications, but their deaths are not publicized because they do not have celebrity connections. Graydon states body parts on display are becoming less and less realistic. Models are also becoming smaller and smaller, while regular, everyday women are becoming
Just like Beyoncé says in her new song "Pretty Hurts," you automatically see what you think is wrong , so therefore you want to fix it. But just because you fix it does not mean your satisfied. Plastic surgery has become the new fad in the 21st century. Your not satisfied with your nose? Get a nose job. Do you think your boobs are too small? Get a breast reduction. Are you tired of exercising and want a flat tummy now? Get lipo! Anything that you do not like with yourself, you can get that fixed. But once you get your "problem area" fixed, will you really be happy?
(Mlynowski 51). Abby turned around and saw Beauty. She thought, “She is gorgeous, with long black curly hair and big brown eyes, and she is wearing a white dress that perfectly shows off her dark brown skin.” (Mlynowski 33) Then, Abby goes up to Beauty and convinced her to move in with
In Lucy Grealy’s narrative Mirror, Lucy tells us a distraught story which makes everyone know about how body images ruin one’s life. In her childhood, Lucy experienced a painful surgery that cut half of her jaw, leaving her struggling to fix her face for the rest of her life. In addition to physical sufferings, she also tolerated the unfriendly and vicious sights and languages from strangers, catching her in endlessly depressed emotions. In fact, body images do mean a lot, because most people in the world focus on their faces and worship beauty. However, perfectness doesn’t exist, and no matter how much effort and money we spend on dressing, we can always find the flaws on our faces and shapes. Physical appearance can make us feel happy, but it also creates upset and troublesome feelings. In order to not let the body images dominate our minds, we have to accept the truth that we are all imperfect and learn to focus on the strength we have. Only when we accept the flaws, can we find the beauty of ourselves.
However, this painting has circles drawn on the woman. This is what plastic surgeons do to mark what areas to change. Many women at that time got plastic surgery and liposuction to achieve the perfect body that everyone desired. Saville learned most of her knowledge about human anatomy through watching plastic surgeons do their procedures, and used this knowledge to make her paintings accurate. Saville once again uses the cruel reality of the lengths women go to achieve a certain body.
From head to toe, Jocelyn looked pretty crazy, but lets talk about her hair first. With knotted and untamable wig it really brings gothic Austin Powers together. On the right side black, the lefts being white, what side will you chose. There is a black and red pirate themed bandana on her wig. Covered in angry pirate cross bones and swords. Wearing a spiked choke collar, which is unnoticeable unless you know it is there. The hair veiling

She later wore a black and red jester outfit with a mask and clown hood. In Suicide Squad, she had on a sexy top and shorts most of the time. Her new signature appearance became her hair. Her hair was blonde and parted into two. One end was dyed blue at the tip and the other end was dyed pink.
Told to us at a young age, we are supposed to love ourselves and love our bodies. Although in today’s times, that is not the case for everyone. Constantly people are changing their bodies. Whether because society tell us to be thinner, curvier, or look a certain way, or because we believe we were supposed to look a different way. Body modifications are common to see in millennials. Despite what most people say about loving your body, some change to acquire the love for themselves. Although, body modifications of how we want to look and how we feel we should have looked are two different things; therefore, Delaney’s “Our Bodies, Our Selves” and “Screaming Queens” contradict the theory of the term body modifications.
