Implications - In 2008, we saw commercial body painting and dolls evolve from their traditional cookie cutter look. Body modifications continue to grow as the year continues and self-expression is more appreciated through intense changes to a person's physical form. From a real-life Wolverine to the human leash, 2008 was filled with intense physical transformations.
