Noses

God, I love noses. Noses are my favourite part of the face. It is a pity they are so hard to draw, though.

I like prominent noses, long noses, Roman noses, Aquiline noses, pointy noses, I think of these as quite... noble noses.

This is pretty much the inverse of mine own nose, which is an annoying little ski jump button of a thing.

I like guys with kinda crooked noses, on the larger side, I dunno, I find strong noses really cute.

I think partly it is because strong bony noses usually go with things like dramatic cheekboney faces hello Peter Murphy.

So are "strong noses" (ha ha) a phallic symbol or what? ;-)

Strong noses on women = k-rowr

Argh dubious x-post

Ha ha ha!

Sadly I still have acne on my nose. I hate it. They all *blink* at me.
I also have quite a "strong" nose. But I guess I prefer taht over a cute button nose as it wouldn't fit on my god damn horse longish face.

A bit too harsh on myself, you say? I guess. To be honest, I think it's okay, my nose I mean.

I've never really been too fussed about noses, but I love the mister's nose. He HAAATES it but I don't understand why.

(Seeing as he posted pictures of our friends on a WDYLL thread without asking, I'm not worried about whether he minds his photo being up here.)

I have a button nose on a horse face and it looks ridiculous. :-(

I've already expressed my esteem for yr Mr's nose, Emil.y and you shouted at me before. ;-)

when i was 11, this boy that i had a huge crush on told me that my nose looked like freddy kreuger's. i've never really gotten over that.

i love hearing things like that. noses are very important to me, i think it can make or break a face, rly. i've always been so self-conscious about my nose. if i can ever afford it i'm gonna get it done, which i feel disturbs most ppl but i have no qualms.

my nose is nondescript
i feel kind of left out sometimes

but, the nose is probably the 19th thing i notice about a person after seeing them for the first time

doesn't that depend on what kind of nose, though? like, if they had a huge weird sunburnt nose, would you still not notice it first?

=) that does not sound very nice

the nose is probably the 19th thing i notice about a person after seeing them for the first time

well, that's what a strong nose is, no? One that bumps itself up in the rankings.

I think I notice the nose second, after hair.

But I am very particular about noses. I have had crushes on boys for their nose alone.

I know, I am a freak.

But it is probably the most prominent article on the face.

my brain's kinda hard-wired to notice certain things first
(my own neurotic thing, then the whole stereotypical male thing)
even if its huge and obvious, i probably wont see it unless someone else points it out

its a face accessory

Why do I suspect Surmonter will be on that MTV Bling Yourself show in a few years time?

Because Pimp My Face just doesn't sound right

A friend of mine was complaining that his nose looked big in a photo I'd taken of him, and my ex said to him "dude if my nose and your nose had a fight, your nose would be leaving on a tiny stretcher"

That really tickles me.

xxxpost so what do you notice first/second?

Ah shit, yeah, Pimp My Ride -> Pimp My Front. Hmm.

I'm a sucker for eyes myself, but thats for another thread I guess. Eyes, bangs and mouths. Sigh.

xp

im probably cheating by saying this but
i notice voice first
but then its things like posture, hair (specifically hairline, if its male), eyes, overall bone structure, etc etc
and of course if its a female its T&A, between 'posture' and 'hair'

xpost boys with bangs are another thread still

Bangs
Above your eyes your hair hangs
Blow my mind your royal flyness I dig your bangs

Bangs
To drape across your forehead
To swing concordant angles as you incline your head

http://www.gloriousnoise.com/images/bangslast.jpg

FRINGE.

(I'm only callin' em bangs for understandability mind you. They're FRINGES where I come from)

Haha snap xpost.

i never understood this american term "bangs".

\:-)

(fringey smiley face)

hehe... i've actually never heard "fringe"

Emo kids r ruining my love of the fringe, but hey what are ya gonna do.

Never heard Fringe either. Do brits say fringe, too, or is it strictly southern hemisphere?

where i'm from, this is fringe:

http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/touchstone_pictures/the_royal_tenenbaums/owen_wilson/royal.jpg

Brits say fringe. Otherwise how would you drool over floppy-fringed indie boys?

i do love a good fringe, i must say. can't u be emo with a fringe?

Absolutely nothing will ever ruin my enjoyment of fringe. Even emo kids.

Current crush has mostly short hair, but with this cowlicked mod swoosh of fringe.

Also has a great, great nose, to bring things back on topic. Really long and pointed.

This is just going to turn into the Kate and Trayce perve thread, innit?

don't perve. just discuss.

so funny how many ILX peeps i've come across who like strong noses... i really didn't know this was a thing

yeah, that emo crap bites ass. I've been rockin the bangs "FRINGE" for years now since i've got some good shitty beatles hair. now my teenage cousins call me "emo boy", despite my reference point being fagadelica.

Don't make me post pictures of Gram Parsons, for maximum "fringe and fringe" cross-continent confusion.

I don't think I ever notice noses. On anyone. My cousin once said something rude about mine but it didn't really bother me.

I also don't like boys with any kind of fancy hair.

I don't like "strong noses" at all, if it means a honking great Manilowesque conk, as I suspect it does.

Certainly not on a woman. I am often put off women by their big noses! I don't mind stupid squashed ones or turned up ones though.

In profile, I like the line of the base of the nose to closely match that of the upper lip.

This is my nose. I am quite happy with it.

It's a bit snub-nosed at the end. It would be a good nose if it was pointier. ;-)

(Pardon me while I just go and objectify N here... but you must expect that if you post pics of your nose for our perusal!)

I also prefer noses that are slightly convex just at the bridge.

Unwanted hairs increase with age along with nose size. Best to just associate with myopics.

i know, the hair and nose size thing is SO FUCKING NNOYING.

omg ur so evil

!!!! i'm gonna hve nightmares ; )

I should have made the nose bigger.

absolutely.

that's a fucking preschoolers nose!

Here.
Don't forget—men get to look forward to the crazy long curly eyebrow hairs!

thaaaat's better ;) yes yes, thanks for the reminder!

xpost women get to look forward to crazy eyebrow hairs too, if my nana is anything to go by... jesus christ, her eyebrows are INSANE.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/marthasminions/smileyface3-1.jpg
a few years later...

okay that's definitely a family friend of ours

my nana and her crazy brows:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1350/1045320841_db74bec8ca_o.jpg

so i have crazy eyebrows to look forward to AND turkey neck :(

u look like her!

You are gorgeous! And your nana looks so full of good humor!

she does, nice smile

oh christ surmounter, you're right - i DO look like her!! my nana is a treasure - 84 and still going strong (despite two hip replacements, severe arthritis, asthma, a fucked pancreas, and a bad heart).

no no it's just a feature thing! the nose, the mouth and the eyes ; ) ur brows and chin look fabulous. she looks kind

i'm gonna get granny's big nose fer SHER

i remember when i was teenager staying with my nana, and i mentioned something about shaving my legs and she was all like "why the hell do you do that for??". i don't think she's ever owned a razor or a pair of tweezers :).

=) lucky her

That is the cutest pic!

aww.. thanks guys! actually, i don't get to see her very often, and she's been pretty sick lately; my family doesn't think she'll last out the year. the last time i saw her was when that photo was taken, back in april, and she got really sad when i told her i didn't know if i'd be able to make it back up to visit before heading overseas at the start of next year. kinda made me feel like that was possibly the last time i'll get to see her (and her crazy eyebrows).

not a bad profile for a professional douche

good profile! Ruby that's such a weird feeling. u always think she'll be there kind of thing. i hate when "the last time" comes into the picture. my grandmother would leave a lot of sad ppl in this world.

have you seen his crazy website?? it's totally weird and i just can't figure out if he's taking the piss or really a crackpot.

but yeah, total babe. and a big dick (in both senses).

^what????

ohhh... you need to see 'brown bunny'... it's rubbish, but skip to the final 10 mins ;)

OK, this is going to sound really weird but I can't elaborate, let's just say that I know for certain that he is taking the piss. That said, he's still nuts.

oh, you intriguing woman ;)

now of course i'm DYING to know... are you sure you can't give just a little more detail??

My closest friend from Uni lives in LA and used to know him very very well. But she's a really private person and apparently he's also v private (although it wouldn't seem that way, huh?) so I'm not supposed to talk about it. :-( There have been VG posts before (and also elserwhere online) and I'm always dying to post but normally don't. I'm sick this morning and doped up on cold meds so maybe my judgement is clouded. Oh no, I've said too much! ;-) heh.

we promise we won't tell anyone! really!

Well, I mean there's not too much really. Basic pretty uninteresting stuff - he is actually a conservative republican - that part is real but a lot of the other stuff is a complete pisstake and part of the persona he's concocted. He is also very funny and incredibly smart although a bit shy and awkward at times in person.

And I love his nose/looks in general.

xpost i figured as much. i thought 'brown bunny' was a bit rubbish (except for the ending :)) but 'buffalo 66' is one of my favourite movies.

but back to noses: i found one pic of my nose kind of in profile. plz tell me it doesn't look like freddy kreuger's (lie to me if you have to).

Not FK-ish at all. In fact, I think that's a great pic of you!

i was on form that day - which was a lucky thing, since they were a bunch of test pics for those new frames. normally i'm the least photogenic person in the world.

I can't remember Freddy Krueger's nose. Perhaps it's quite handsome. On another thread I was just talking about Robert Englund's cuteness on the miniseries "V." Maybe it had all to do with his nose. Can't remember particulars.

I had a mate in high school who was totally OBSSESSIVE in love with Freedy Kruger. Takes all kinds.

I've never been too sure about my nose. Because I'm of (very) mixed race, it just doesn't seem...well, black enough.
http://l.yimg.com/www.flickr.com/images/spaceball.gif

Inasmuch as its not that flat or flared, I mean.

well if ya need a onceover let us know

Stone, if I remember right, your nose is quite a bit like mine! I seem to recall idly looking through a picture thread and having someone over my shoulder go "is that a picture of you?" and it being ... you.

(I.e., I think Ethiopianose dominates any other genes thrown its way)

I am also in love with Freddy Krueger but only because these shoes came out.

I will post a profile as soon as I find a good one.
