I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware

Joan Rivers' new book “Men Are Stupid . . . and They Like Big Boobs,” is a comedic yet surprisingly detailed guide to plastic surgery.

Joan says on her blog that the book "has actually turned out to be terrific because it manages to mix humor with extensive medical information on everything related to plastic surgery."

Released on December 31, 2008, the book contains many of Rivers' personal anecdotes about her experiences with surgery, and plenty of commentary on who in Hollywood has done what procedures and how often.

In the first chapter, she explains how she arrived at the plastic surgeon's office in the first place and quickly points out the importance of researching your physician:

Why do you need to have enormous trust and faith in your doctor or dermatologist (or, as I like to call him, your beauty facilitator)? Easy. If you buy a dress and then decide it's hideous, you can return it. But if you get bum Botox Cosmetic injections, you're stuck with the Kabuki mask-like face for months. A bad hair cut is temporary; a nose job could be forever. Your choice in doctor or dermatologist is perhaps the only time in your life when you must get it right the first time.

Rivers recently fired off one-liners in an interview about the book for the New York Times, including "What do you think of Barack Obama’s appearance?" to which she responded "I think he should have pinned the ears back years ago. They really annoy me. He represents my country now —pin back the ears!"
