Hold That Nose

Sorry this is so late, this has been a rediculous week, I know technically Sunday, but let's just say that my sisters internet is not very accomidating. But, enough of my excuses, this post I would like to write about "Hold That Nose" written by Lisa Miya-Jervis in 2003. 

The first thing that caught my attention was the fact that her mother was trying to gently pressure her into getting a nose job.  I do not think this is right.  If Lisa had wanted a nose job, her mother would have been made aware of the situation, but considering that Lisa did not want a nose job, her mother should have dropped the subject and let things be.  Although her mother tends to continue to offer to pay for a nose job.  Such gentle nudging toward a certain outcome can be irritating, but as long as that's where it stays, I wouldn't be worried about upsetting her mother.

Second, I couldn't believe that Lisa's father even said that Lisa and her sister wouldn't have existed without their mother's nose job.  It is incredibly shallow to say that and I know I would not want to be with a man who wouldn't have even given me the light of day if my nose were bigger than most peoples'.  

In my opinion, who cares if you have a big nose, or uneven ears, or even small breasts.  You will find people who like you for who you are, and won't try to pick out your imperfections (which everybody has you know).  Quite frankly, I believe that the friends that are made when you don't look physically attractive are better, more loyal, friends than the friends you would bake if you were physically georgeous.  Take what you have and learn to run with it, use your strengths to your advantage, and DO NOT let anyone pressure you into thinking you are anything besides a beautiful human being.
