To be honest, I think you look like a mythological Greek sculpture. I can’t remember if it was Athena or Artemis, but your profile is a striking resemblance of an alabaster Greek god that was made by one of the masters I remember reading on. It’s wonderful.

You look so fucking unique, so interesting and quirky The stereotypical Disney Princess/The Hot Girl In Every Movie Ever never really struck my interest. Sure, they’re cute and proportional and ya know, that’s cool but personally, I find it to be boring. A lot of ways female beauty is portrayed through the media sucks out all emotion. More often than not, girls on magazine covers are staring dead-eyed or so photoshopped you can’t see any life. You have so much personality that shines through your eyes, it’s amazing.

[...] I knew things were bad when I started thinking about my nose. It’s like a bright red, wildly waving flag now. This little thought comes up, all evil and subtle, like, “What’s one more surgery…” Yeah, [...]

I love your nose. I think it’s so fantastic! I come from a long line of well endowed noses and I think pronounced noses like ours are so classically beautiful (think old Roman sculptures of Gods and Goddesses! My nose is so much like my moms and I couldn’t be happier!

In this culture, it can be hard to be different in any way, but I would hate it if surgery could make us all look the same. I have a standard romance-novel heroine, delicate, little nose but that merely means my nose is not a factor. No one is attracted to it; no one is not attracted to it. It neither adds nor detracts from my face. Your final photograph in this post is so striking, that profile with the golden light and the softly curling hair reads as classically feminine and makes me think of Pre-Raphaelite oils. My profile, with my straighter hair and straighter nose, my cooler coloring, would just seem conventional. There are plenty of people who are specifically attracted to a strong profile on a woman, but I’ve never known any who are specifically attracted to a conventional one.

That’s not to say I don’t know what it is like to be different. I am different, physically. I am tall. I am unusually voluptuous, curving in and out in a way that defies standard pattern grading in clothes. I have very white skin paired with blue eyes and black hair. I have exaggeratedly feminine facial features. My differences are not unattractive, but they do mean that I can never present myself as average, as inconspicuous, as unthreatening. It means that I have to undermine myself physically when meeting new people so that I don’t seem too sexual, too girlish, too physical, too stuck on myself. I’ve hated nearly everything about my body that was different or exaggerated; the skin that can’t tan, the breasts that are too large, the rounded ass that marks me as female in the most vulgar way. But I eventually move past my hate because there is no other choice. Cosmetic surgery has never seemed like an option for me. It’s just been a very long process of learning how to present myself.

I stumbled upon your blog accidentally while looking up ” renaissance maiden faces”. I think in the last photo you have a stunning renaissance profile. I am an engineer turned jewellery designer, so I appreciate an extraordinary face. Good Luck.

Oh, and I love my legs. No matter my weight, they are faithfully slender. I should remember to be thankful for them.

I’ve always hated my stomach. Even when I was at my peak of perfection in high school (there’s no way I wasn’t in shape: I was swimming 20 hours a week!), I remember hating how my stomach “pooched.” That changed when I got pregnant. Suddenly, my problem area became my child, surrounded by pride and excitement. I love being pregnant (not only because no one lets you carry anything) because I don’t have to worry about sucking my tummy in!
