Beautiful imperfections:The positive side ( born this way baby!)

While many models appear absolutely perfect, many actually have flaws, that the industry sees as beautiful. I've seen many models with gap teeth, strong noses and brows, small breasts, big thighs, etc. While many may see these characteristics as flaws, they are unique and beautiful to others, they make normal people with those flaws feel better about themselves.

These days, allot of people are running to tanning beds to achieve the bronzed look, to look like many celebrities. But do you remember seeing many bronzed beauties on the runway at any point? No, unless they're from Brazil or on the Victoria's Secret runway. I've seen many snow white models, and also many models that are dark as night, and they are both incredibly beautiful. While bronzed women are indeed beautiful, it really doesn't matter what your skin tone is in the fashion industry. Being unique is what matters.

Lindsey Wixson, a very well known model today, has a cute gap in her teeth. She is making just as much money, getting just as many spots on the runway as models with perfect teeth, if not more. While there is nothing wrong with perfectly straight teeth, many admire unique smiles. Kirsten Dunst has "vampire" or "snaggle" teeth, but is she still beautiful and one of the most famous actresses today? Of course, and she's proud of her fangs!

One of my favourite imperfections to talk about are strong and crooked noses. A woman doesn't need a cute little turned up nose to be attractive. While I've definitely wished for a perfect little button nose, I've learned to live with my big nose. A star I admire, Troian Bellisario, from the show Pretty Little Liars, has a crooked nose, but she is still unbelievably gorgeous. Another actress, Lea Michele, has a large, straight nose, that has been criticized, but is a huge actress and a beauty and fashion icon as well. Many other influential women, like Lady Gaga, model Erin Wasson and Meryl Streep are proud of their noses, they don't feel the need for a smaller, more convential nose. Because they know they were born this way and are proud of it!

Lastly, I would like to talk about big hips and small breasts. Most models we see these days are stick straight hangers, which most find unattractive. I mean, sure, allot of people barely have curves naturally, but a small waist and larger hips are very beautiful. No matter what a woman's shape, she's still beautiful. But many see hips as bad, but heck, what I wouldn't give for a smaller waist and/or bigger hips! Moving on to breasts now. Many flat chested women look at sexy, buxom beauties, like Scarlett Johansson and Katy Perry, and lose confidence, because they don't feel sexy. Let me tell you, flat chested women can pull off allot of outfits that big breasted women can't! Also, larger women suffer back pain, and lots of men prefer small breasts on their ladies. Now, I'm definitely not dissing women with large chests, just showing the benefits of smaller breasts.


 The lesson here is, there's really no definition of perfection, nor is there a definition of beautiful. Beauty is unique. Every woman is born unique, every woman is born beautiful.

  1. This is really good and inspiring. I agree with you, everyone is beautiful, cause its those little imperfections that makes you perfect for someone.
    Concerning the model with the gap teeth, I was watching TV one day, and i saw that a bunch of models were going to the dentist to create a gap in between their teeth.

  2. I really enjoyed reading this blog, you gave many different examples on what people see as beautiful and what some might be uncomfortable having. Personally I find that everyone can pull off a different look whether they have a bigger nose or a smaller chest etc... Just like you said there is no definition of perfection since no one is perfect.

  3. I really enjoyed reading this, every girl should read this post, and it was real inspiring. Like Batoul said our imperfections are perfections for someone else. We should embrace our "imperfections" because if we looked all the same the world would be pretty bland. The models should also embrace there imperfections because girls look up to them. If young girls see models embracing their imperfections there is a higher chance that the young girls will, as well.
