What do you think about beauty?Foot binding is thought to have originated in imperial China in the 10th or 11th century, probably as a fashionable practice among wealthy women. Although its first adherents used it as a status symbol to indicate their high social rank, foot binding gradually spread throughout the culture. By the 12th century, even the poorest families practiced it. When a girl was about three years of age, most of her toes would be fractured and her feet bound tightly with linen strips to impede their growth. The ideal was to create a 3-inch "lotus foot" by limiting growth to just a few inches. The binding forced a girl's toes down toward the soles of her feet to form a concave shape. The practice became so pervasive that a woman whose feet had not been bound would have difficulty finding a husband; most families demanded a woman with tiny feet when selecting a wife for their son. And how the woman walking with tiny feet looks sexy. Even after foot binding was banned by the Chinese government in the early 20th century, the practice continued in secret for years, especially in rural areas where enforcement was difficult.
In Northen Thailand Kayan (or Padaung) girl used rings in her neck since 5 years old. Every year rings added, so they have a long neck tribe. This is symbol of beauty, status and elegant for them. Turns out the neck isn't elongated so much as the collar bone is pushed down by the rings over the years. I've read that wearing these rings is a choice the women make, and they are free to remove them at anytime. Also, it seems that the collar bones eventually move back in to shape if/when the rings are removed.
In Dayak tribe, Kalimantan Indonesia
Ear lobes were elongated by piercing at an early age and brass weights ear rings are put on for the sole reason of elongating the ear lobes. It was suppose to signify beauty for the wearer women can be found to have elongated ear lobes.
Elongated ear lobes also signify status. The longer it is the more significant that person is to the tribe. Perhaps the length is due to age as the ears can only be elongated over time. In Eastern tribal communities, elders are respected. So the longer the ear lobes are, the older the person is.

A lip plat is a form of body modification. Increasingly larger dics are inserted into pierced hole in either the upper or lower lip, or both, thereby stretching it.
The Mursi are well known for their famous lip plates. The custom is that when a Mursi woman reaches the age of about 20, a slit is cut between her lower lips and mouth. The larger the lip plate a woman can wear, the greater her value when she is married. In many older sources it is reported that the plate's size is a sign of social or economical importance in some tribes.
