Cleopatra Nose: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In the ''[[Asterix]]'' book "Asterix and Cleopatra," Cleopatra is drawn with a HUGE schnoz, under the phrase that "she would be less famous if her nose was any shorter." Likewise throughout the book, characters (including Caesar) comment on how she has "such a pretty nose." (Meanwhile in the later book "Asterix and Son," Cleopatra is drawn with a typical ''tiny'' nose... did plastic surgeons exist in ancient Egypt?)

*** [[Older Than You Think|Yes.]]

** Note that attractive women (Falbala, Geriatrix's wife) have normal noses, but all the comical women have cartoonish noses. Same goes for the men, comical characters and the Gauls have huge proboscis monkey-esque noses.

 

* A play on this trope: In the fourth book of the ''[[Uglies]]'' series, Aya believes her nose is ugly because it's large (and she hasn't received the pretty surgery yet). Frizz tells her that although it may not fit ideals of glamour, it's unique and still looks pretty in its own way. {{spoiler|In the end, Tally convinces Aya to keep it.}}

* Holly Short, of the [[Artemis Fowl]] series, is mentioned to have a hooked nose in her initial description, but is nonetheless described as pretty.

 

* In the ''[[X Files]]'' episode "The Ghosts Who Stole Christmas", the old lady ghost refers to Mulder as "The gangling fellow, with the... er... distinguished profile."

* In one ''[[Doctor Who]]'' tie-in novel (Fourth Doctor), the narration made much of his "patrician nose".

'''Beth:''' Pretty and easy.
