The nature of beauty is one of the most fascinating riddles of life. Is beauty universal? How do we know it? For example in the Ethiopian Suri tribe an enormous plate implanted in a girl’s lip is considered to be a sign of beauty. The Suri tribe belongs to Surma family that also includes Mursi and Me’en. Piercing and lip plates are a strong part of the Suri culture. At the point of puberty most women have their bottom teeth removed in order to get their lower lip pierced. Once the lip is pierced, it is then stretched and a lip plate is then placed in the hole of the piercing. Having a lip plate is a sign of beauty and the bigger the plate, the more cattle the woman is worth. When the woman are ready to get married, her father can demand 40 cows for a small plate and 60 for a larger one. Men on the other hand paint their bodies and participate in stick fighting. It is a way for young men to prove themselves to the young women. Many stick fights end within the first couple of hits. Stick fighting has proven to be dangerous because people have died from being hit in the stomach. Since stick fighting draws a large audience, it becomes a threat of danger. Shooting can easily break out and this seems to be the new trend for young Suri men; using guns instead of sticks.INCREDIBLE PHOTOS: See Girls Who Beautify Themselves With Plates Implanted In Lips It is still unknown why and how lip plates came to be used. One theory says lips plates were used to discourage slave owners from taking the women who had them. In recent years, some young women are refusing to have their lips pierced.

I've actually watched the documentary on these people a long time ago. They somehow find the women with discs attractive. The women slip it on and off and you can imagine how the lips look without the disc. Like a slack rubber hanging out. I guess the barbaric tradition will naturally die out with more education. I doubt if an educated lady would have is lips cut and have large discs inserted. 3 Likes |

Primitive cave men in the jungles of africa, beauty to them means looking like a wild animal. No wonder studies show the average IQ in Africa is below 70. How can this ghastly mutilation be seen as a source of beauty, they take young women and mutilate then into nasty looking creatures. What a retar*ded culture!!! |
