Ottawa - A Canadian woman has had her ears cut and reshaped to look like an elf.
Lord of the Rings fan Melynda Moon, 23, splashed out £250 to get her ears changed to look more like one of the creatures from the fantasy film franchise.
She said: "I have always been very close to nature. Pointed ears are the most adorable thing, and I find the elven attire is so elegant.
"My inspiration comes from The Lord of the Rings, the long hair, dresses and the closeness to nature.
"When I found out I could have my ears pointed I have never been so sure of something in my entire life."
