Does the Nose Clip Narrow Nostrils?

by Mid Brain on August 9, 2010 · 20 comments

Plastic surgery is sweeping the nation. From Heidi Montag’s 10 surgeries in one day to Kanye West’s mother dying on the operating table to your next door neighbor or favorite aunt or old boss or high school classmate getting a facelift and a tummy tuck, it’s inescapable. And as everyone around you is getting more and more plastic/perfect every day, it’s hard not to start to hate your body.

If you aren’t that into laying on the table as someone cuts into your face, try a Nose Up Beauty Clip – according to InventorSpot, they cause little pain but a bit of discomfort. They use pressure to raise and shape your nose, and you can wear them anywhere. In addition, there’s the Nose Up Bridge Straightener, which straightens the bridge of your nose. There’s no telling if it does as much as plastic surgery does – but at only $10 each, what have you got to lose except your awkward-looking nose?

Is this item a joke or a parody? What happened to the no-nonsense discussions this site used to provide? I hope you’re not changing your tone in a bid for more advertising. If I want to read silly speculation I can go to any number of sites. The unique attraction of this site was that I believed the writers had a science background.

Back in the 1950s our mom made my older sister wear a clothespin on her nose to make it smaller. It didn’t help.

Yeah, what the heck’s going on? Did inventorspot.com buy this blog out? I’m getting sick of your advertisements masquerading as “posts”. What happened to answering questions your readers asked?

Seriously? Amy wore one in Little Women.

And in a similar tone, what’s up with this blog? Are y’all no longer answering questions including those asked in the comments?

“but at only $10 each, what have you got to lose except your awkward-looking nose?”

Your dignity?

Gotta agree with the posters above. What happened to this blog? And why are the posts getting so short? For a second, I thought this blog got hacked.

Nose clips, I see these all over Ebay.

It’s hard to believe someone would think this sort of thing would work, lol.

@Everyone: We’re sorry about the lack of question/answer posts lately but the Left and Right Brains are working on a new Beauty Brains project and we’ve asked Mid Brain to keep things going with some light hearted beauty news posts. We realize that this isn’t our usual fare, but we didn’t want to shut the blog down for 2 months while our efforts are focussed elsewhere.

Please be patient – we’ll return to our normal format before too long.

(And thanks to Mid Brain for stepping in while the rest of the lobes are otherwise occupied!)

I wish you had asnwered the first commenter’s points directly:

“Is this item a joke or a parody? What happened to the no-nonsense discussions this site used to provide? I hope you’re not changing your tone in a bid for more advertising. If I want to read silly speculation I can go to any number of sites. The unique attraction of this site was that I believed the writers had a science background.”

Have all the fun with dopey “inventions” you want — but please, if you intend to start recommending things like the Nose Clip in all seriousness — let us know.

Then we’ll know how seriously to take this site.

hey whats going on here?As I read this article woooshshhh are you joking to make us laugh? Do something about it or else. . .

Jami August 11, 2010 at 10:05 am

Oh would you people calm down. First off they answered why there’s been no big blogs lately. They’re busy. Besides, questions asked anymore are often answered in full on the forums without the BBs having to say a single word. And a lot of the questions are just repeats of questions answered earlier by people who sign up just to ask the one thing.

Daaaamn, I think it’s so freaky!

It is possible, but very risky. One should not try any experiment on him or her self. Its not so easy, as it seems to be in the post. It can destroy your beauty. So beware

That’s so weird and pretty impossible. How can someone experiment on his own nose. also once you have grown up, then your face structure has set , now you need an operation (surgery) to change or retouch them.

Sarah August 15, 2010 at 11:32 pm

Death certificates online and fire rated glass door–the marketing posts, that’s what I find annoying more than the lighthearted blog posts. I did notice the change, but I sort of assumed it would change back again.

At any rate, I’m mildly self conscious about my nostrils being large, thought it was just me, but apparently not…

avid fan August 17, 2010 at 3:25 pm

to snippy readers above, well i guess the beauty brains are trying to convey that fact the nostrils grips ARE in indeed made as a joke/parody in the first place just like the way this blog is structured. u take it seriously at first and then find out that its nothing but a flare to our life.

they are not to be taken as a science anyway, so why the need to answer and address it seriously?

:P

Sarah August 17, 2010 at 8:07 pm

Agreed. Just in case it wasn’t clear btw, my above comments on “death certificates online” and “fire rated glass door” were about people who add comments here with the intent to market products and services, not about the brains’ blog posts.
