Transgender Miss Universe Canada contestant Jenna Talackova cracked the top 12 in the final night of the pageant. Although she didn't win, I was rooting for her the entire way, because over the past few weeks I've come to realize that you can't buy this kind of positive PR. And...

Glenn D. Braunstein, M.D. | Posted May 21, 2012

As a canvas for self-expression, the human body has few limits: Just walk into any coffee house or hip lounge and you will see patrons with tongues adorned with metal studs, earlobes "gauged" (plugged) with holes the size of quarters, maybe even a neck or temple bedazzled with microdermal anchors....
