Elva first came out years ago with a song called “Cappuccino”. It was light, fluffy, disposable pop. A couple of albums later and it’s like she fell off the face of the earth. Now, she’s returned to the fold with her old record label, EMI. Her newest album, 3-Faced Elva, releases across Asia this week.

According to Crienglish.com, the new album portrays the varied facets of her personality, “sincerity, independence and courage.” They go on to say:

EMI Virgin Asia’s vice- president Huang Weijing earlier declared that the company has a “3-Nos” strategy for Elva’s new album in Taiwan - no self-buying of albums by the company, no refund, and no comparison with other singers.

Chart-buying is fairly prevalent in Asian countries, at least in Taiwan. That guy forgot the fourth most important ‘no’ though: nose job. As in Elva has had one. Which, by the way, looks horrid. Is it that hard to accept yourself? After the first surgery, it’s all downhill. Every surgery after that just tries to fix the first one. The more you operate on a nose, the more cartilage you lose. Eventually, you end up like Michael Jackson. If Elva ever shows up in a black veil at a UFC championship, I’ll just laugh.
