We diet and spend hours in the gym for smaller waists and firmer muscles. Some are even willing to pay for liposuction. But what if there were an easier, cheaper way to achieve the perfect body? The It’s All You! bra is the result of body sculptor Victoria Morton’s 10-year project. Morton has been in the business for more than 30 years and acts as a “figure consultant” for actors in need of shedding a few quick pounds. Morton is known for creating Suddenly Slender, The Body Wap. By repositioning and reshaping excess body fat from the stomach, torso and even back, Morton’s Its All You! bra claims to increase breasts by two full cup sizes within 60 days. If a woman has extra tissue anywhere above her waist, she can use this bra to create bigger, firmer breasts, Morton said. According to Morton’s research, small-breasted women said they sometimes were reluctant to be seen with large bieasted women, and just 2 percent of women are completely happy with their breast size. Critics question Morton’s motivation for creating the new bra, claiming it’s another product that enforces male preferences for big breasts. “The feminists may not like it,” Morton said, “but there’s a huge demand out there for large, beautiful breasts. In a world completely without men, women would still like to have great figures. Smaller breasts may be politically correct for Barbie, but for real, live women, full breasts will always be in style.” The spotlight desk can be reached at gamecockspotiight@hotmaiLcom • Accenture (Formerly known as Andersen Consulting) • Aoilera • Ahbama Department of Transportation (H&P) *■ ArvinMeritor (AVM, Inc.) • ASCO Valve Division • Bechtel Bettis, Inc. • BellSouth Corporation • BellSouth Mobility DCS • Carolina Tractor & Equipment • Cianbro Corporation • CSG Systems, Inc • DAVIS & BROWN • Doty Scientific, Inc. • Duke Energy • e-com Business Solutions • Eagan, McAllister Associates • Enterprise Computer Systems, Inc. • Federal Bureau of Investigation • Florence $ Hutcheson • GE Automation Services, Inc. • GSE Systems • Industrial Web Machines • International Paper Vicksburg Mill • Jacobs Engineering Johnson Controls, Inc • Kline Iron & Steel • Latitude Communications • Michelin North America • Microsoft • Milliken & Company • Nan Ya Plastics • NAVSEA Port Hueneme, Surface Warfare Center Divisi • Navy Civilian Jobs • Navy Officer Recruiting Columbia • Norfolk Southern Corporation • Oak-Mitsui • Professional Service Industries, Inc.
