I can't get as hyped up about this story as most of you.
Certainly, she seems to be a sick little puppy, but in the immortal words of John Lennon "Whatever gets you thru the night...is alright". Seems healthier than some other coping mechanisms (suicide for instance!), even though she is seriously compromising her bodies' functionality. We might regard it as very unnecessary, but she obviously doesn't.
Some people will work out in a gym to sculpt a body that looks a certain way (and the extremists in this camp can seriously compromise their health!). Others cover their bodies in tatoos. It is an extreme form of artistic expression to use your one and only body in such a way, but hey, you only live once. She seems to be genuinely enthusiastic about those gleaming silver hooks!
I've even heard that some people will suck a massively toxic blend of tar and nicotine laced smoke into their lungs, in order to achieve a certain affectation, or image. Can that be true?
In a more general sense, our whole lives can be made into kind of artistic, intellectual or sexual statement. She has obviously chosen to do so.
