Indeed I actually find her lips to be attractive as fuck. Where is that virginkiddance.gif when you need it.

Same. Dat Cupid's Bow. Reminds me of Rosie Huntington-Whitely...

Same. I can't bring myself to 'right-click -> save as', but every time I see the topic title I open the thread and let out a sigh of delight. She's flawless. That cupids bow gap is hot as hell too.

lmao, YES!

Mein heart yearns, i'm going withdraw in my cave to beat off and write a crown of sonnets.
 
I'm not denying that she's beautiful. I'm saying the fact that the Mail's 'mathematically most beautiful British woman' is white is no coincidence, and denying that is giving the Mail way to much credit.

And what should Da Vinci even have to do with it? White European decides proportions of white European female face are mathematically most beautiful? Stop the presses.

Oh god, stop. Please. This has nothing to do with race. You are making this into a huge issue for no reason at all.

It's the fucking Daily Mail. Of course there's a fucking agenda.

The competition was organised by Lorraine Cosmetics based in New York. The Mail just covered it. You seem to think they went out and scouted 8000 women just for some thinly-veiled piece on white supremacy.

I just counted all the sperm I dropped in the batch looking at the photo in the op, and mathematically they are correct.

Where does it say it was for Lorraine Cosmetics? It reads like it was for Lorraine the daytime TV show.

Oh and back to Carmen, I just noticed this:

"Florence has all the classic signs of beauty,' she added. 'She has large eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and a fair complexion. Symmetry appears to be a very important cue to attractiveness."

Which doesn't do anyone any favours. Could argue that it goes for 'classic signs of beauty' but it gets it all mixed up in that article which just ends up spouting out that classic signs of beauty pretty much equal modern signs of beauty. It's like Harry Potter being written in Olde English.

Google her name and there are more articles about her. All from horrifically biased white-supremacy sites, obviously.

What do you want her to say? "This woman exhibits all of the traits we associate with a classical beauty and therefore we should do a radical 180 and decide on a whole new paradigm for beauty just to please a vocal minority"?

I'd argue that a 'fair' complexion does not mean 'must be light skinned' but I'm guessing I'd be fighting a losing battle. In the meantime, let's go and read the Beyonce thread for a little compare & contrast. I've already seen one post explicitly calling out her dark skin as a source of her beauty.

Not against the expert, against the article. It's obviously too much for the Mail to provide a clear distinction, or even attempt to vocalise the idea that our image of beauty has changed since Da Vinci's time. But science, yes, I know.

RELAYER said:
"Fair complexion" does not mean "She's white"
It means she has blemish free skin. Jesus.

Just pointing out an interesting 'classical' choice of words. Mostly hear the word clear rather than fair when regarding clear skin.

In the meantime, let's go and read the Beyonce thread for a little compare & contrast. I've already seen one post explicitly calling out her dark skin as a source of her beauty.

I don't know anything about People magazine. Wouldn't be fair for me to comment.

I dunno where you're from, but I've heard "fair" used quite often by people in England. Maybe it's a generational thing.

Yeh I'm from England and it's a fairly typical word here.

We use it to describe most things. But using fair in that context makes me think of fair hair, which means bright. Not clean. Or fair weather, which means bright. Not dark. Just me being fairist.

Should point out that I'm not saying there's anything inherently racist about that article itself, just that there's something inherently rotten about the paper it stems from.

Hell yeah, Beyonce has skin you just want to lick. So does Kelly Rowland. There is a black woman in my company too and she is easily in the top 5 hottest women I have ever seen in my whole life, absolutely stunning. I find that colour has very little to do with attractiveness but it's more about shape and size of facial features.

Ideas and notions of beauty are interesting anyway, it's so varying and subjective.

Fair enough.

Of course I don't think that.

Let me put it another way: I don't think the Mail would have reported it if she was a member of an ethic minority.

You might be right.

I don't think they'd have reported it if she was from outside the UK.

I don't take issue with The Mail being a shit-rag, I take issue with there instantly being a 'problem' because this woman is white. As though no impartial study / survey could possibly produce such a thing without the guiding hand of a master racist behind it. Perhaps I came away with the wrong impression of the 'Aryan' posts.

I'd certainly order a few sausages with lippy on from her if you know what I mean. *wink wink nudge nudge*
