Eeeeek. What horrid-looking things. The man who invented them must be a looney.

Just what shall we discuss? Since I already have a turned-up nose (those of us with turn-up noses call them retrousse, thank you very much) I can't imagine that the devices would be an improvement - make me into a gargoyle, more likely, although the chiseled-look sounds interesting. But I think wearing the things would be awfully uncomfortable, much like the way it used to feel when I would put red beans (dried, of course) in my nose, when I was a kid. And I bet the irritation of having a metal thing in your nose would cause post-nasal drip.

Maybe the guy who invented them is just cynical, like the people who advertise breast enlargers in the back of women's magazines, and if you send off for them you get a jar of skin cream and two plaster hands - not that I ever did that, but I have read about it.
