Nothing says "LOVE" like matching nose jobs...a "special kind of bond"
Chinese romantics seek nose jobs



This clinic is offering a special Valentine's Day package

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4708424.stm

Young lovers in China's largest city, Shanghai, are turning to cosmetic surgery as a Valentine's Day present. Three couples even asked one clinic for matching noses or eye features, the official China Daily reported.

The clinic's director, Liu Chunlong, said business from 20-somethings had risen 30% since 4 February.

China has seen a boom in cosmetic operations in recent years, and is now home to a million plastic surgery clinics, according to Xinhua news.

Liu Yan, 24, and her 28-year-old boyfriend had matching nose jobs a fortnight before Valentine's Day, China Daily said. "I suggested it as a way of celebrating our relationship and bringing us closer together with a special kind of bond," the paper quoted Ms Liu as saying. "My boyfriend loved the idea and paid for the whole thing; we're very happy with the results."

1. Diamonds are for shmucks,
real lovers choose rhinoplasty.

2. Weird
I think of similar noses being more of a parent-and-child thing than a couples thing, but hey, whatever works for you... :shrug:

3. Well, this does beat matching tattoos
but that's really not saying much. Guess I'm not narcissistic enough to like this idea.
