Woman who believes she was a fairy in a previous life has her ears cut ........

and shaped to look more like an elf.



A woman who wanted to look like an elf has had an operation on her ears to make them more pointed.

Melynda Moon, 23, believes she comes from a different realm and was a fairy in her past life.

She paid £250 for the operation that she feels will put her back in touch with her mythical side.

Ms Moon - who also had her name changed by deed poll - had the tops of her ear cartilage skinned and pieces cut from the tips to form points.

This gave her ears the triangular tips characteristic of the magical figures in her favourite film, The Lord Of The Rings.

Canadian - but if she'd been English maybe our National 'Elf Service would've paid for it.

Ear mutilation has been happening for so long, I'm surprised this hasn't become a trend years back.

She's a pretty woman. They're her ears, so she can do whatever she wants with them.
