IN Mauritania, fat women are beautiful women. The fat should be on all parts of a woman’s body; the neck, arms, waist and legs.
Girls are taken to fattening houses run by specialists whose job is to make them desirable according to the traditional standards. Camel milk is high on the menu. All they do is eat and sleep.
Japanese
A flawless white skin, wide eyes and small feet are great beauty assets in Japan. In the past, a woman’s feet were squeezed and folded to achieve the purpose.
Colour is important. Women put flowers in their hair to accompany their bright coloured kimonos (traditional Japanese dress).
Loyalty, wisdom, domestic, ability, humility and respect for authority are virtues expected of beautiful women.
The Maasai
Men and women wear metal hoops on their ears meant to intentionally stretch them and create holes which are valued. Women shave their heads and remove two middle teeth in the lower jaw.
A muscular, fierce, brave, stubborn and arrogant man beats them all.
The men also braid their hair with a fatty (ochre) paste. They also adorn a lion’s mane or eagle feathers during ceremonies.
Chinese
Sometimes, dancing and singing might be used to judge the beauty of a woman. However, tiny waists, round faces, a bit of fat, round eyebrows (called silk worm eye brows), convex eyes and full lips, complete a beautiful Chinese woman.
The voice, hair and complexion are important. Hips, bums and the bust are not important.
Zulu
The more natural one is, the better. They use ummemezi (onion wood) to keep their skin healthy. They also adorn their bare busts with bright coloured ornaments. Zulu women mind their health.
Tribes in the Amazon
They pierce their bodies and paint their face using plants and blood. They keep extremely long hair which is knotted and ardorned with flowers and thorns.

They stretch their necks using ornaments. Multiple neck rings are a sign of beauty. The longer the neck the more beautiful one is.
The earlier one starts to wear the rings the better and less painful for them. However, today’s teenagers who try to remove them find difficulty adjusting.
