Beautiful



This is the most beautiful woman the artist William Adolphe Bouguereau could envision.  If she lived in the U.S. today:


She would think her tummy and hips were too fat.

She would think her breasts were too small.

She would hate her unruly curls.

She would hate her pasty skin tone.

She would be ashamed of her chunky thighs.

She would be embarrassed of her “cankles.”

She would always, always be paranoid of the angle she held her head if a picture was being taken, for fear of her double chin showing.


This is the birth of Venus, goddess of love and beauty.  If she lived in the U.S. today, she couldn’t get a job modeling without some serious dieting and some plastic surgery.  


What’s wrong with THAT picture?
