Are You Beautiful or Average? The One This Woman Chose Made Me Cry

I never fantasized about being a model. I was too short, I never wore makeup and I wasn't particularly into fashion. Besides, I did have one or two friends who had gone that route who described it to me as the most boring job in the world, the hours of prep and the long shoot trying for that one perfect photo and the airbrushing afterward to produce something that didn't look anything like they did.

A model in full regalia would have gone through the "beautiful" door without question. In civvies, she'd have gone through the "average" one like the rest of us. It's not because we think we're ugly. It's because we think we're real. "Beautiful" is too often false and created by paint and Photo Shop.
