Models

Am I the only person here who thinks that somehow the face is ignored when it comes to picking models? It is as if the only things their employers care about is how small their waist is and how long their legs are.I keep seeing these adverts on TV and in magazines and somehow some of the models have THE UGLIEST faces ever. Now not all of them, some of the are absolutely gorgeous but still I can't help but wonder how the ones with the dodgy faces got the jobs.

Now you can say I'm bitter because I am short and fat but tbh I'm happy enough this way. I always thought that models were meant to be the epitome of beauty when I was younger but now as I am growing up and beginning to question what actually got these girls the job.

Take the girl on the Rimmel adverts "Get the London look." as an example. (Sorry I don't remember her name)

There's hundreds of people all over the internet taking the piss out of her gap teeth which I am not trying to do here it's not her fault she didn't get braces as a kid. But I wouldn't really see something where your endorser being bullied and insulted as a good idea to get people buying.

Now generally gap teeth isn't something most people would find attractive but somehow just because she is tall and skinny she gets all these crazy advertising deals.

I'm just saying there should be more to a model than tall and skinny, maybe if we started at the face and general warmth of the person, then we could slowly move on to having real women who are closer to a size 16 than a size 6 (although if you're size 6 there's nothing wrong with that, good on you for it if that's how you want to be but you're not exactly the majority of the female population.) One of the first things we notice about a person when we are making friends is the face, their expression such as warm and smiley or pouty and cold. It is a basic way of how we judge people and unfortunately it is a fact of life that you will be judged by appearances. Fortunately though no matter how large you are, your face can still be pretty.

I am not trying to encourage obesity (it's a sickness and needs dealing with tbh) or even promote being shallow with this post . I'm just voicing a somewhat controversial opinion and talking about how I feel could work if we face it.  If we take the baby steps of the faces we could slowly begin to actually see more worth in ourselves.
