The Noble Nose

The Pink Cowboy has done some research into nose classifications and has asked us to tell him what kind of nose we have. I don't know what the classifications are, except for Roman and Greek; I've always been told that I have an English nose. I've always been proud of my fine, prominent proboscis, and for as long as I can remember, it has been a topic of conversation with my friends. I am known for my nose where my family and friends are concerned.



"A large nose is the mark of a witty,
courteous, affable, generous and liberal man."
Cyrano de Bergerac
(Of course, that applies to everyone, not just men)


Here is a picture of my nose.
That isn't a blur by the way, it's an aura!
This is a photo of  myself and Ville
on New Year's Eve.
We each have a nose worth decorating.

The Great Nose in The Sky is smiling on me, Steph!!! Noses should be celebrated, decorated (you did!), befriended and ultimately understood. Thank you for your "referral" and compliments. Many noses have been misunderstood throughout history. The day will come when a nose job becomes a nose employment, and people will be judged not by the size of their nose size but by the content of their character. Enough said, I am going to have my little gin now.

Bravo!

I have a german nose, or so my mom tells me. Alls I know is that it is big. :)

I've MISSED YOU!!! I skim through blogs in my reader but I've been working so much the last 8 or 9 months just to keep afloat that I have neglected everyone. SORRRRY!

I really just stopped by to say CONGRATS on your Okie Award nomination (WOOO!) and tell you that you know you've got my vote, baby!
Love you bunches, even though you'd never know it by my actions.
:)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOX

No doubt, the nose knows! How else could we possibly sniff out the truth?
My nose is sometimes stuffy, but I'm not. Loved this post.

MONTYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I've missed you too. Thanks for coming by, and congrats on your nomination too. Hope all is well with you!

I love the 'aura' of your nose!!!

Congrats on your Nom!

Lynda Lehmann said...

Nobody nose your nose like you do! ha ha... :)

My nose has a small, rather concentrated but defined bump in the middle. Sometimes I think that's where my brain sits!

At any rate, facial features are very interesting for what they may reveal.

In that drawing you posted, my nose is the on in the very left corner--the little turned up one. I've always gotten compliments on my nose. :)

willow said...

Steph, we have the same nose!

Steph said...

Georgie: :^D

Lynda: I believe the bump classifies it as a Roman nose.

Lynette: I love your little bug nose.

Willow: Seriously? Cool!

Lynda Lehmann said...

Steph, I thought the Roman nose was a larger arc. When I say "bump," I mean bump more like a marble! :)

Steph said...

Ah, I see. According to The Pink Cowboy's research, a Roman nose isn't necessarily a large nose, it has a hook that sets it apart from the straight Greek nose.

Steph said...

And as you said, no one knows your nose like you do! LOL!

Steph said...

Lynette: You think that nose (in the drawing) is yours? I think yours is the one in the top right corner. Mine is on the bottom, second from the right.

Lynette said...

I don't know. You look at my nose more than I do! LOL! I just thought the top left looked more like what I picture in my head as my nose. :P

Unlike fans, I don't pick on a nose. ;-)

Kay Dennison said...

My nose is just an ordinary probably Scots-Irish nose and it fits my Scots-Irish face (not a hint of Bavarian from my mom there) and what an admirer called my Celtic cheekbones. Go figure

CLAY said...

Ah! An interesting post! I chuckled and then I touched my nose in grief. Splendid Steph.

Steph said...

Deni: "Ah, go pick on yer own..." LOL

Kay: I had those cheekbones too, when I was younger. Sigh.

Clay: I'm glad you liked it. Why grief? Over your own nose? Be proud!

Nice work, Steph. Thank goodness we're not related to Pinnochio!
