Ever since I can remember, I've had body image issues...If that's what you'd want to call it. The people I know call it 'having a complex'....I've had this problem for as long as I could remember. I was called 'big-nose'...'high-yellow' 'big-butt' (the latter is not a huge problem these days, people pay for what I have)...but those and a host of other names are what I believe led me to be haunted by this so-called 'complex'.
The image to the right, is me of course...my nostrils are huge...I have a big nose. So big, that I refrain from taking pictures as much as possible because all I see is NOSE. I can't seem to find anything positive about the picture...all I see is nose. I know...I know...I watch TYRA, and she says that you are not supposed to take pictures from below the nose, but....I was just trying to make a point...I have a big nose.
The weird part about it is, I don't think I'm ugly. It's just that for some 'freakish' reason, I think that when I take a picture, my nose grows 5x's bigger than it was before I snapped the shot. I'd be posing for a picture which I think has to be cute because that's the way I was feeling at the time...then POW! An ugly picture comes out...my NOSE has taken up the entire shot...lol (major exagerration, but you get the point.)

Although I have a big nose, I would never dream of getting a nose job. I will deal with my nose as it is...I was born with it. I'm not a fan of cosmetic surgery....I'm not that vain, but some people are so traumatized by certain body parts, they will result to surgery to fix what they deem as problems. Here is my motto: "Get it how you live." That just means it you are find with it, and that works for you. Go for it!
Personally, I don't know anyone who has had cosmetic surgery...neither for medical or vanity reasons. It's not a normal thing amongst my family and friends....but I understand that is the norm in various parts of the country, even in parts of the state where I'm from.
So, I did a little research. It's not scientific...heck...I don't even know if its true, but I wanted to find other African Amerian women who had nose issues, but the most information I could come up with in such a short amount of time is this website about black celebrities who've allegedly had rhinoplasty. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but...hey, I'm a blogger not a real journalist...lol...
I made sure I put allegedly because there are too many false stories going on around the web as it is...
Here is the link...whadda u think?
