What's with all these plastic noses?
What's with all these plastic noses?
Since I moved to Udon from Bangkok I have noticed an alarmingly high proportion of girls with plastic noses or 'nose jobs'.
It seems that many Thai women seem to think that is pretty to have a horrible plastic bridge put into their noses.
I really really don't understand this as it makes them look very very ugly.
For those of you with wives/girlfriends out there who have nose jobs please ask them...WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?
Does anybody else feel this way or do you like these 'plastic noses'?
I suppose we could have a vote, but I don't know how to do it

My wife had her nose done 3-4 years back, cost 9000baht, and a job well done, its not one of these over the top jobs where the bridge goes right up to the eyebrows which you do see a lot of, if you looked at her nose it all looks in proportion, a small plastic bridge was inserted up through the inside of her nose, heard a few sharpe scream noises but was in and out with-in an hour with black eyes and swollen hooter for a few days.
She has also had the nostrils cut and tucked so to speak, again you would'nt notice, another job well done.
So i like her nose and it was well worth the cash.
But i do dislike the over the top jobs which "Stand out" too much, or maybe they went to the wrong place.

the Grass is always Greener
I had to say, maybe/somtimes but like La I prefer the dusky Issan natural look....
Everybody has their own perceptions of beauty.. Unfortunately, as commented above (I agree) the chase after a western standard of beauty is in many cases ridiculous as the girl/woman is already a stunner, at least by our standards.
But, remember, Thailand is becoming more and more a consumer society with young girls getting hammered by TV ads every day.. Watch Thai TV and it's a barrage of adverts for many types of "Beauty Whitening lotions".. The old commercial showing a dusky Thai girl ignored by a handsome fellah one day and then merely a week later, after using the "amazing beauty whitening lotion" which made her look two shades lighter than a corpse, the lad was crawling all over her... That and the proliferation of Half-Thais with western features and Thai movie stars and pop singers with plastic western looks caps it for many.. They just gotta be the same...
Do I even want to go into the acceptance of ass tats by middle class Thai girls, and urrrrrrrr!!! baggy-butt jeans with the crack of doom showing on Thai guys>??? Next step, totally hip-hop, western featured gang bangah Thais that have a real bad attitude!..

if a girl wants it done and she goes to the right place and "Picks" the best peice of plastic, then who are we to stop them , its their nose, let them pick it, i think the biggest mistakes the girl makes is she picks out one that is to big just to make sure she looks differant and it comes out totally wrong the is girl near us that has had it done and it looks crap, too big and goes right up to the eye-brows [freaky].....just avoid the Ian Rush look thats all.
as for the 2 pin electrical socket look, some girls do have this type with no bridge what so ever, fortuneatly my Mrs did'nt, so maybe the outcome would have been differant if she did have.
we are doing the teeth thing at the moment too, but thats another topic.
