Is this her?
Nice pic. I recall from some long-ago travelogue that if the women who have added all of those rings to their necks and elongated them so much ever try to remove them, that they can die because the cervical vertebrae have been unnaturally altered and have insufficient strength to support the head if the rings are removed.
They are doomed to spend their lives this way, but they don't mind because in their culture they think that it's 'beautiful'.
Oh Lawwwd......
That was so utterly awful I HAVE to post a 'counterbalancing' pic; hope you don't mind :-)
(this is a pic of an Iraqi gal around the time of the elections there. I recall the caption being that she was dreaming about her future, which is a bright one now)
And....would you like a nose ring with those fries?...
Whoa!....did she drop some metal in my fries???
A face like that could provide excellent traction in the snow.
Does that mean I'll have to prove I can handle a knife and a fork without stabbing myself?
Oh, I can just imagine they're doing damage to themselves with this weird body torture...... but they don't mind because in their culture they think that it's 'beautiful'.
LOL! Lovely, just lovely! haha!
Eightly so. They should be done in Tattoo parlours and other body-art places.
