A hole for my face
I've decided to get myself a facial piercing for my birthday (September 15th, but the annual celebration usually lasts from the 1st to the 30th.), but I'm not sure if I would look better with a labret or a Monroe. So I turn to you, Constant Reader. Click on each of those links to familiarize yourself with where these holes go, and click a couple of times on my little wedding photo up there in the left corner to get a good look at the shape of my face. My nose ring doesn't show very well in the wedding pic, so keep in mind that my left nostril is pierced, and I sometimes wear a big ole hoop in it. Then tell me what you think!

I have voted, but to give my 2 cents further (because you know advice from complete strangers is in demand)...I think a Labret would look best with your face, but the Monroe looks like it would interfere less with day-to-day activity. Or something.
I tried to comment earlier, but have been having spotty internet issues all day. I, too, voted for the Labret. I think if you went with the Monroe, it might ... uh... clash (that's not quite the word I'm looking for...) but it just might not compliment the nose ring. Plus, Labrets are just hot (channeling my inner Paris Hilton).
I'm definitely leaning towards the labret now. When I first started thinking about this a year or two ago, I wanted a Monroe (AKA the Chrome Crawford!) because it is different. I don't see as many of them as I do labrets. I wasn't even really considering a labret until a friend told me that while she usually didn't care for labrets, she thought I would look good with one.
And I agree with Lorena that a Monroe wouldn't look quite right with the nosering.
I also think I would have more versatility with a labret. If I had a Monroe, I would probably wear a tiny little sparkle all the time. With a labret, I would wear a tiny sparkle, or a big ole spike, depending on my mood.
Now to find a good piercer in G'ville. If anyone has any personal experience, please let me know!

you know...if you've got the wrong jewel in the monroe it just ends up looking like a blemish because, well, it's in a blemish-y (at least in my experience) spot - so i'm sure you've guessed what i've voted (well, not yet because i felt like typing this first).
i have no experience with piercings in g'ville except for when i got my ears pierced when i was 8 at the Oaks Maul at the Earring Tree (how sweet, huh? it used to be right next to the customer service desk at the pet sto' entrance and across from the A&W got my ears pierced, got a root beer float - good times! i totally digress...).
a friend of mine got a great trailer hitch piercing done at knuckleheads.

I prefer the Labret over the Monroe for you, for reasons already cited above, but I voted "neither" because I saw the coolest-looking, very tasteful eyebrow barbell yesterday at Lowes and for some reason, I thought it'd look awfully cute on you.
So there.
So there.
