OTMM client, plastic surgeon Dr. Chukwuemeka Onyewu with Jamachi Plastic Surgery and Medispa was featured on NBC4 Washington and WTOP 103.5 FM exposing the dangers of these illegal procedures taking place in hotels and apartments around DC, Maryland and Virginia where women seeking to enlarge their backsides are being injected with liquid silicone.

In many cases, these illegal injections are leaving women disfigured with uneven buttocks, lumpy skin and swollen lymph nodes  – just to name a few. Serious health risks like kidney failure have also been seen and not to mention – death.

“Regular college students, housewives, working women will come in saying I want the Kim Kardashian look,” says Onyewu. “More recently, the Nicki Minaj look.”

But, there are serious health risks behind these illegal “pumping parties” taking place behind closed doors and hotel rooms. In Philadelphia, a woman faces charges after a client died from the illegal cosmetic procedure. In Baltimore, another woman pleaded guilty to endangering her customers by injecting industrial grade silicone that was intended for use in furniture polish.

In many of these “pumping parties,” the administrators have no training, yet charge hundreds to thousands of dollars to inject silicone directly into the body. The procedure is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Dr. Onyewu, whose office is located in Silver Spring, MD, says the number of patients coming to him desperate to have the silicone removed has increased dramatically. Dr. Onyewu is one of the few plastic surgeons who works to remove the illegal silicone, but, says it can take months—even years—to correct the problem.

“People are dying,” says Nicole, a victim interviewed in the NBC4 segment. “Are you really gonna die to have a big butt?”

In the new commercial, Aziz tries to use the power of Link, Like, Love to his personal advantage, just maybe a little out of order. He instantly falls in love with a girl he just met—Jessica. In order to woo her to the fullest, Aziz decides to stalk her Facebook (comedy gold) to see her likes. Immediately, he takes off to the nearest stores to use his linked American Express card to buy and fill his house with everything on her profile. A kink appears in his plan when she runs late and has to meet him at the restaurant. Aziz finds a way to incorporate his recent purchases into the date but came in a little over the top.

But American Express isn’t only pairing up with Facebook to make impressing your date easier; they are also working with Foursquare to make stalking easier and Twitter to give new definition to one-liners! No- not really, but they are teaming up with the two powerhouse Social Media companies to offer deals and increase business. If you are an American Express cardholder and you check-in to certain stores and restaurants, you will gain access to exclusive deals. Now in addition to badges and merits, users are getting 10% off their purchase or $5 off a $20 bill. Just for checking in! For example, if you use your AmEx card to pay for a bill of $5 or more, a $5 savings is directly applied to your monthly statement. This increases the usage of AmEx cards and saves the customer money, win-win.

Twitter is also in on the action. By re-tweeting sponsored tweets by American Express or by using certain hash-tags, “tweeters” are unlocking special deals as well. Of course, you have to link your card number to Twitter to gain the savings but the upside is that there are no coupons or print outs; the savings go straight onto your AmEx account and will be applied at the time of purchase.

Sync’s Link, Like, Love plan may not have worked so well for Aziz in the commercial but it can still save you major bucks and maybe help you earn brownie points with your new girlfriend. As long as you don’t fly into your first date with a parachute and kayak, of course.

Google Glasses are a brand new (unreleased) accessory that are not used to read small print or see far distances, but to seemingly do everything else. With voice activated smartphone capabilities, day planner, navigation system, camera and more, the spectacles can virtually replace all of your present technology. As you place the glasses over your eyes, small floating icons appear just above your line of sight. As you shift your head in different directions to view the world around you, the glasses augment or supplement what you are seeing. If you look up at the sky, the weather may pop up. Or if you ventured toward the subway, but it was not running that particular day, the glasses would advise you to take a different route, and then proceed to navigate you to your destination.

Google(x) Labs has more work to do on the prototype before the product goes public, but they have definitely got people talking. To watch the video Google released this week entitled “Project Glass: One Day…” click the link below.
