This is
the perfect holiday gift for the person on your list about whom
you constantly remark: ''He or she would be SO much more attractive
if his or her nostrils were narrower!''
The Cleopatra
Nose Lifter is a spring-loaded device that you insert into each
nostril. According to the catalog we ordered it from, the device
''lifts and sculpts your nose for that thinner, slightly upturned
look.'' What is more, the catalog states, this device ''does what
many 'nose jobs' do not: It narrows your nostrils to give your
nose the chiseled look found in so many models.''
We feel
that the Cleopatra Nose Lifter -- named for the legendary queen
of ancient Egypt who was famed for putting things up her nose
-- is worth buying just for the accompanying brochure, which has
this inspirational quotation on the cover:
''NOW I
will make my nose one millimeter higher to change my future of
the 21st Century.''
Under the
heading ''When To Use,'' the brochure states: ''CLEOPATRA can
be used in various occasions such as a job interview, an important
business meeting, a special date, a graduation ceremony or whenever
taking pictures and etc.''
The brochure
explains how to insert the device, using special little tweezers
supplied. ''If you used incorrectly,'' the brochure warns, ''the
product might cause uneasiness of slight pain.'' It also suggests
that ''during the use, avoid any excessive stimulation and impact
on the nose.''
Also we
assume that you should avoid sneezing, because you would not make
the best impression if this device came shooting out of your nose
and landed in the entrée of your special date.
But despite
the risks, we think you would be clinically insane not to buy
this product for all the people you know who would like to change
their future of the 21st Century. But beware of imitators! As
the Cleopatra brochure warns:
''Notice:
Since CLEOPATRA is the first only kind of various beauty-supply
product a variety of imitation procucts of 'knock-offs' are expected.
Thus, customer discretion is highly recommended.''
We could
not have said it better ourselves.
