Canadian Model Surgically Adds Elfin Ears

A splendid Saturday to you...the lull between the holidays when we continue to recover from Christmas and prepare for New Years with another round of feasting. Glad you could click by and read today's post. Pour yourself some wickedly delicious coffee and gently move a fairy cake onto your plate. I see you eying them so go ahead while no one else is looking. I won't tell! Speaking of fairies, listen to this...

Melynda Moon, a 23-year-old Canadian model, has put herself through a bizarre cosmetic surgery. While most people ask their surgeons to make their nose smaller or lips fuller, Moon aimed at making her ears pointier. Why? Because she wanted to look like an elf.

“I have always had fantasies about what it would be like to be something other than human,” Moon said. “So I decided to change my appearance to look supernatural.” She spent $400 on a painful surgery to have her ears modified.

To achieve the desired result, the tops of Moon’s ear cartilage were skinned. Pieces were cut from the tips to form points. Her ears were almost ‘carved’ into a triangular shape, reminiscent of the Elves from the Lord of the Rings.

Either you believe in fairies, elves, goblins, dwarves and trolls or you don't. But it's not that simple. Science is quickly warming to the idea that multiple universes do exist and perhaps even in the same space as ours at the same time. Our senses are just not able to see them... usually. Almost every culture has stories of 'other' kinds of people besides humans...the little people, leprechauns, etc. You only have to consider the popularity of the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Hobbit and others to realize that people find these other realms fascinating. Whether they are real or fantasy, we seem to want to believe in their existence. There are many things that have been lost to modern man. Perhaps co-existing with these magical and fairytale cultures is one of our losses. 

See ya, eh!
