I think from the front my nose is pretty cute, but in profile, it looks like this
This is not me. I never take photos from the side if I can help it .haha:
I used to really hate it and wished I could have plastic surgery, but I have grown to accept it, Tom Cruise is sure cute with his and Barbara Streisand isn't half bad!
If you have an aquline nose, read this article. It's really cool what it says about women with this type of a nose. They say even Cleopatra had it. And there was Abraham Lincoln too. I am in some very good company!

When I was a little girl,
Mother said to me
on my dad’s side there had been
a pure Cherokee.
I felt so proud that I had
in my ancestry
blood of those who roamed this land
throughout history.
I’d been born with thick black hair,
and my nose grew long!
I supposed the Cherokee
in my blood was strong.
Mom is Welsh and proud of it,
saying I am full
of her Welsh vim and vigor,
plus a poet’s soul!
Of my sisters, there’s just one
with my long-nosed look.
I’ve got the results of the
blood test that she took.
By her DNA we see
Mom’s side very well -
Scotch-Irish, Welsh, Finnish too!
I think that’s all swell.
My dad’s side are the English.
That’s what I suppose.
There’s no Cherokee, so from
whense came my humped nose?
One small part Italian showed
on the test she’d sought.
For ONE percent is it that
Roman nose I got?
