Default Body Horror and High Fashion

It seems to me that in the THS setting, the plasticity of flesh and the simple fact that there are fashions in flesh leads to body horror both seriously and for laughs. Any glance at Transmetropolitan(a truly great comic book) will give plenty of instances of both.

In what ways does body horror come up in your game?

It seems to me that the world of haute coture (sic) is an area where body horror would be especially intense and prevalent. Just look what models go through now. In a world of bioroids and TL10 reconstructive surgery the bodies beneath the fashions might be deeply disturbing.
