Oh nose!
NeNe Leakes of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” has joined the growing fraternity of black stars who have altered their features to conform to a Caucasian standard of beauty.
What’s wrong with having classically African features, anyway? Does a needle-thin nose automatically make one more beautiful?
In NeNe’s case, her new nose looks out of proportion to her mouth, and arguably, has not made her prettier.
When African Americans go under the knife, the goal shouldn’t be to have as narrow a nose as possible. There’s nothing wrong with refining a body part, but the outcome is more realistic when the change is within the parameters of one’s ethnicity. In other words, a skinny nose does not look good paired with a full, voluptuous mouth.
Do you like NeNe’s new nose? Or should she sue her surgeon? –michele fling
