Nose Lifters — 14 Comments

  1. What’s infuriating to me (as I consider “investing” in an upper and lower blepharoplasty) is that none of the pictures are taken in the same lighting and exact angle for the before vs after. This amplifies the littlest change. Same thing is done for weigh loss photos.

    FWIW, I think the woman is pretty in both pictures. Why mess with perfection?

  2. “I don’t get it. I really don’t get it.” neo

    I suspect the answer is found in Juli’s comment, “I think the woman is pretty in both pictures. Why mess with perfection?”

    Perhaps no woman is immune from the lure of ‘improved’ beauty but I suspect liberals are much more susceptible to that lure, being open to the “perfectability of mankind” meme. An inability to gracefully accept aging is of course another factor.

  3. It is so snobs can turn their nose up at you with minimal stress on the neck muscles.

  4. Just women thank goodness. Except for whatshisname.

    On second thought: not thank goodness. Still no good.

    It doesn’t make sense. Look at profile shots of the actresses considered the most beautiful in Hollywood back in the day.

    None of them looked like these pug nosed ferrets.

    Type in “Eleanor Parker and Naked Jungle”, or “Irene Dunne and 1940’s”

    Type in “Elizabeth Shue and Leaving Las Vegas” or just “Emily Blunt”, for a more current and less traditional example.

    None of them look or looked like our Moonwalker friend – with a carved down, or up, proboscis.

    Now that annoying leftist singer … that’s going a little too far; though you can respect both the vocal talent even if you do not like it, and I personally don’t, and her desire to remain true to her own looks.

  5. I learned from watching TCM that in the 1930’s women wanted Myrna Loy’s upturned nose. So this is nothing new.

  6. All this talk of nose jobs reminds me of Emily Kaitz’s song, Susie Rosen’s nose.

    Little Susie studies Hebrew with the help of cousin Roz
    Roz says, “She could be a cutie, but the girl’s got such a schnoz.”
    But the joke will be on Rosalyn at Susie’s Bat Mitzvah

    With a little button on her face
    She still looks just like a Shiksa
    Mama, what happened to Susie Rosen’s nose?
    It used to look like a big matzoh ball, but now it barely shows
    Here today, gone tomorrow
    Is that the way it goes?
    Mama, what happened to Susie Rosen’s nose?

    Also in the genre, by Kinky Friedman:Why Do You Bob Your Nose, Girl? (Second Hand Nose) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCE3VIeP2OM

  7. Re Gringo’s remark, following on my remark.

    Knowing something about Jewish intellectual history, but absolutely nothing about Jewish family life, I am not even sure I get the full gist of the song.

    But though I have dissed La Streisand’s profile, if not talent and self-esteem, I think that most would agree with the consensus view that the girl from Dirty Dancing would have been better to have left well-enough, or better than well-enough, alone.

    Frankly, I hate to see people changing their looks.

    Saw a video not too long ago about some Iranian (female) converts to Christianity. A glance at a second video, left me unable to recognize them.

    I thought they looked fine in the first place.

    Ladies of the Middle Sea, don’t bob your noses. You generally look swell just the way you are.

  8. I had my nose done at 17. Best beauty investment I ever made. Don’t have to cut it, curl it or color it. Don’t have to paint it on in the morning or wash it off at night. Four decades later and I still get compliments on it. Just sayin’.

  9. For some reason, a nose a bit larger than usual, if reasonably well-shaped, seems to demonstrate character, although, logically, the connection is random.
    Or, I guess it’s just me.
    I’m tall, so I don’t have quite so much of a view up somebody’s nostrils as do most people. But it’s more than enough.

  10. I have read that some French women (used to??) sleep with a clothes peg on their nose to ‘improve’ the shape. I’ve read that some French women encourage their little girls to sleep with a clothes peg on their nose to get a perfectly ‘retrousse’ nose.
