There Are No Ugly Women

Look carefully, they're in the same order. Their makeover pictures are below their regular pictures. It's just amazing what money can do.

This photo below was taken at a competition in June 2008 involving 9 women for best makeover. They had every possible beauty treatment available to them over a period of 12 hours before the contest. Look at the before and after photos. Conclusion - there are no ugly women — only poor women.

The woman 2nd from the left won the contest.

12 Beers have the same effect.
 
I think they were all beautiful in the before picture anyways but the after picture is just their "plastic" transformation. I have always found that beauty is skin-deep and the more you get to know and love someone, the more beautiful they become in your eyes, thus the saying: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

The problem is when you bring one of those beauties home - when you wake up in the morning you wonder where she went and why this other woman is in your home ...

Or worse - you're talking to them in the restaurant and their eyelash falls into the soup, the wig slips to the side and their boob pops out onto the floor.

It's like going on a date with a leper. :cower:

Playing "Dress Up" is fun once in a while, but it's too high-maintenance for my tastes.
 
They were "Pretty Awful" before the makeover,
afterwards they were "Awfully Pretty". ;)

Well, after studying the before and after, I prefer the before version. The women in those photos look like real people with whom you could have a sensible and interesting conversation. The after women look like they would be completely self absorbed and somehow they also look less intelligent. Before deciding how you wish to present yourself it is important to decide how you want people to relate to you.

The afters look like trophies. The befores look like mothers of children, lovers of everyday men and women prepared to do a day's work and be contributing and helpful members of their community.

I'm not impressed by men who are gym junkies with bulging biceps and ridiculous six packs either. Narcissists all and no use to the world.
 
I think most of those women could have made themselves look considerably more attractive than they looked in the "before" photos just by dressing up a little, doing their hair & putting on their usual makeup. The before pics look as though they were told to look & dress as plain & grungy as possible so that the effect of the makeover would be that much more dramatic.
 
When I was a girl of about 13 I read a book called Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott. It was about an orphaned girl of the same age who went to live with her widowed uncle Alec and his seven sons. Uncle had radical ideas about bringing up girls and insisted that she be liberated from movement restricting stays and clothing so that she could run free like his boys. He said she should always be free to leap a fence should she ever be chased by a bull in the field (it had a rural setting). He also advocated a healthy diet and a hearty appetite, arguing that no young woman should aspire to a waist less than a full 24 inches.

In 1956 I quite liked this book and it's image of healthy womanhood. It was published in 1875 and now in 2014, just look at the clothing that women still feel compelled to wear. Start at the feet and consider the ridiculous high heels. They deform the feet and are impossibly uncomfortable to wear. No escaping from a bull in that kind of footwear and no chance of running down an escaping toddler either. Then look at the gowns and the silhouettes. How much of those shapes is due to good health and how much to constricting undergarments? And what's with the thrusting half-exposed breasts? In those gowns I suspect that the women can neither bend over nor raise both arms above their heads for fear of wardrobe malfunction. And why? To be adored for superficial appearance for a fleeting moment in time.

Here is my youngest grand daughter who is my idea of healthy young womanhood and I would hate her to have a makeover that makes her look like a plastic Barbie doll.

Ina, I think the poor ones are those who have to rely on paint to keep them beautiful...true beauty is really within and stays forever!

I agree Warrigal! It's interesting that you mention Barbie. I was just thinking of how Mattel is coming outwith a bald Barbie for young cancer patients. Quite telling that the trend has changed...that would never have been considered when Barbie was "younger". I also remembered the "Stepford Wives".. perfect robot wives! :)
