HanaHana(tm) Get your big nose beauty!
I was shopping for calcium pills to speed the mending of my broken leg when I saw this silliness in a Japanese drugstore yesterday. Yep, it’s a industrial-strength clothespin to clip on your nose to make it bigger….and therefore more beautiful. Ri-i-i-ight.
Visit the “HanaHana(tm) website written in Japanese.
The gist of the product description in my funky direct translation is:
Revision of the nose cartilage after adulthood is slow, However, this product you can make your several mm higher, whick will change the entire impression of your face! The point at which your nose becomes beautiful… is where the entire balance very slightly changed—and your face become beautiful, it does! The HanaHana(tm) changes the central part of your nose is most important part to change your expression, it does!
Yes, Japanese does sound that irrational—if I rewrote it too much it would loose the original dementia.
HanaHana(tm) for beautiful big nose life.

I hate to say this, but I no longer think my Girlfriend is the only crazy one out there. Every night, she breaks a plastic hair clip to mimic what this gadget does, and leaves it on her nose for a good hour. Shes a model, and swears by it, claiming it raises her nose. I thought she was crazy. Now I want to find one of these things so she doesnt break anymore hair clips….If you can help me find one, I would appreciate it!

It’s not just the japanese.
When it comes to cultural imperialism, the Asians are still asleep.
OPEN YOUR EYES (no pun intended)!

it’s misleading to make it look as if asians are the only ones who are “weird”…as if americans aren’t just as self conscious…if you look at the extent of plastic surgery going on you’ll see that americans are just as, if not more image conscious. mayeb it’s because i live in LA, but i see fake breasts, face pulls, lip injections, and nose jobs all the time…and to me, these are far more drastic steps to “beautifying” oneself than sticking a stupid pin on your nose, as dumb as that is.

i have broad base and rhinoplasty but i want reduce broad base
Nothing non-surgical is going to reduce a “broad base” and surgical reduction of the base is going to leave the entire face unbalanced looking (which most likely is the reason why your rhinoplasty doctor didn’t change the base).. Tissue puffiness can be reduced by soaking one’s face in water with ice in the bathroom sink but that’s a temp measure at best.

I saw the article on the nose..
In Italy I perform the medical rhynoplasty in two minutes with yaluronic acid and Botulinum toxin with better results and no one risk!
in my opinion it is absolutely better.

Theay r really crazy!
why don’t they just go in for surgery? Rhinoplasty is quite safe now, and it gives real visible results:
