Shameless is a metaphor for the fragmented body, an echo of a culture that sees certain traits as desirable, others as embarrassing or shameful, making women’s bodies sites of exaggerated and comodified desire and endangering women’s health and well being. As a mash up of unruly bits and mismatched pieces it is too much, too little, strangely assembled: a bad cut, stitch and baste job. A slit here, a silicone pouch there, stitched up bodies reassembled in the surgical factories of beauty.
