A Brazilian model named Angela Bismarchi is celebrating 100 years of Japanese immigration into her home country by getting a cosmetic procedure done to make her eyes look more “Japanese” through the use of nylon strings. Head. Desk:

Angela Bismarchi will lead her samba group in a contest at next month’s Rio Carnival and is having the procedure to celebrate 100 years of Japanese immigration to Brazil.

It will be the 42nd time she has had plastic surgery and she is closing in on the world record of 47 held by American Cindy Jackson.

Bismarchi will dance ahead of a drum group of 300 people, hoping her sculpted beauty as a “percussion queen” will lead her samba team to winning the championship.

The 36-year-old, whose passion for plastic surgery has made her a celebrity in Brazil, said: “I always was vain. And for carnival, you have to feel especially pretty.”

It’s her face and we guess she can have a Polly Pocket compact implanted into her forehead if that’s what makes her happy. But to mutilate change one’s face in order to “honor” another culture? This makes us extraordinarily uncomfortable. Not only does it sound a little too much like this for comfort, it also calls this type of surgery to mind. If you’ll excuse us, we’re going to go take our face on a date. She deserves it.
