What extreme corsetry does to the human body

http://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/what_extreme_corsetry_does_to_the_human_body



Romanian “model” Ioana Spangenberg, whose waist measures a shocking 20 inches on her 5ft 6 frame, swears she pigs out on fatty foods daily. Now I’m no doctor here, but this doesn’t look natural at all. I wonder if she wore a corset for years and forced her body to become a “human hourglass”? I don’t know, but it’s shocking to say the least.

Below, an image of how your organs are pushed down after years of extremely tight corset use.

What is funny---when I click on the link to see the freak information, all the ads were for extreme corsets. Like that is what I would want to buy after seeing the freak show!
