The scars cut onto the womans stomach while they are children are meant to be beautiful adornments, and are meant to attract men. I find this every creative and strong for the girls that are going through the pain of cutting through their skin at a young age. ]]> 2017-03-12 01:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159464815 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159464948 In Kenya, beauty definition for them are long earlobes, and shaved heads. Women would sometimes use elephant tusks to twigs to stretch out their earlobes to become more attractive. Also having low-maintance cuts are ideal. I find this very interesting that they would use elephant tusks to bring down their earlobes, must hurt!]]> 2017-03-12 01:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159464948 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465057 In Thailand, around the age of five women start putting heavy metal rings on their neck to make them long. Each year more rings are added to their neck pushing down their shoulders, which is creating an effect of a longer neck. The rings that are being placed on the women's neck can weigh up to 22 pounds! I find this very interesting because I for sure wouldn't be able to keep these rings on myself, must be very uncomfortable for them! ]]> 2017-03-12 01:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465057 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465173 In China having pale skin is a sign of attractiveness, which mean woman avoid being in the sun. I also find this very interesting because in Canada all models/celebrities want to be tanned, and if they are not in a country with any sun they would go spray tanning. hey feel like being tanned is more attractive than being pale, which I can agree on.]]> 2017-03-12 01:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465173 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465270 In New Zealand Women with tattooed lips/ chins and full blue lips are considered being the most beautiful.  Back in the early years they would carve the tattoos with a chisel into there skin, but now they have tattoo machines to do the job. This is sort of like in Ethiopia they carve/tattoo a part of there body, which makes them feel beautiful. ]]> 2017-03-12 01:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465270 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465414 In Mauritania having woman that are overweight are considered the most beautiful. As Erika says "the more stretch marks the better" In the past families in Mauritania would send their daughters to fat camp that would force these girls to have up to16,000 calories a day. They would drink camel and cow's milk to fatten up. This is very surprising to me because I was brought up seeing models (Victoria Secret) starve themselves to be skinny and have the abs/thin thighs and skinny jaw line.]]> 2017-03-12 01:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465414 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465560 Men and Women in Iran after they get surgery like to keep the bandage on their nose. To them it shows there path to beauty. Some will even buy surgical tape to wear on there face even if they haven't gone for surgery. To me this sounds crazy because if I were to get surgery I wouldn't want to show myself until the bandage is off. But good for them! ]]> 2017-03-12 02:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465560 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465706 Women in India like to have nose rings, bindis and henna to make themselves  more attractive. In the Indian culture bride to be's like to wear a red powdered dot on their forehead known as "kumkum" to feel more attractive. Speaking about Henna's my friend has an Indian background and always gets asked to do henna's on other people's hands!  Which i agree they are very pretty, and last a couple weeks!]]> 2017-03-12 02:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465706 caseyskoby https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465761 Women in Japan feel more attractive with their hair pin straight. They go to chemicals and flat irons to make sure their hair is sleek as possible. Women in Canada believe this as well, I can relate to this really well, when I was in High School I always wanted my hair straight because that's when I felt more attractive, and some of my friends still think they are better looking with straight hair.]]> 2017-03-12 02:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/caseyskoby/scryww2iqc9u/wish/159465761
