Perks Of Being Flawed
Millennials, we tend to overthink on such trivial matters, especially about how we look outwardly. Many times we see ourselves in the mirror and reflect on our appearance; acne, freckles, moles, bulging tummy, stretch mark and many more, which we rarely stop and think about how those flaws are a part of who we are and what we went through. Embracing flaws is beyond acceptance but also self-love. Who will love you if not yourself? You best believe even the flawless is flawed, one way or another.
Beauty imperfection comes in many ways. But according to James Blunt, “You’re Beautiful” so who wants to argue with the pop rock of ‘04.
Ashley Graham
This plus-size model is who we stan in the industry! She has been modeling since she was a little girl. Although many people would think that her curves are a disadvantage considering the type of models they look for runways, she has never once thought of it as a disservice to her or the industry. She has been modeling for several campaigns such as Levi’s, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, to name some.
Padma Lakshmi
If you are trying a little too hard to cover a scar that left you scarred, do yourself a favour and skip it. Lakshmi has a visible scar that goes down her arms and it made her look like the woman of steel on the red carpet. It was said that she did not intend or feel the need to cover up the scar as it was a part of her. She is definitely a goddess in disguise!
Lara Stone
Call it the perfectly imperfect, her flaws are now what people call, a statement. Modeling at a very young age, Lara Stone makes tooth gaps the new face of fashion. She believes what women can do with their bodies are amazing. Her lovely tooth gap has attained media attention and women root for that million dollar grin. Despite enduring years in those brackets for the perfect smile, people opt for cosmetic orthodontic procedures to get the gapped grins instead. Want to be different, just be you!
