Eschew Perfect Beauty

In the UK they held a contest for perfect beauty and the winner was a 19 year old girl who had the perfect face.  By scientific standards, whatever that is.

Now I am sure everyone would agree that the girl is pretty.  And those who measure such things say the measurements are near perfect, space between the eyes, eyes in relation to cheekbones, etc...  But take a look at her and what you see is, well, so what, this is the best science can do?

The paradox is for breathtaking beauty, there must be a flaw, a lesson every designer must learn, or knows intuitively. Here are ten beauties, you know them, and their flaws:


Forehead too big in relation to the eyes.


Yikes.. the ears!



Cheekbones out of proportion.


Lips... sheeesh...


Huge eyes!


Teeth!

 Not the best picture, but she has two different eyes.


This women is not beautiful by most standards, but standards have to be set aside to accommodate her beauty.  And I am not just saying that cuz she is mostly Celt.

Some girls worry they are ugly for some flaw.  The above beauties rock the flaw, and move into the realm of exceptional.

You get the point... true beauty of flawed, so it is interesting.  Perfect gets boring.  Never aspire to perfection.  That last few points costs more than anyone can afford.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
