Well worth reading

This article, in american Elle, by the novelist Walter Kirn is well worth reading. It deals with why he finds not conventionally pretty women more beautiful and more interesting.

I don't read Elle, as a general rule, but thank you for the link to this article. Walter Kirn's article was such a lovely breath of fresh air in this insane world of cosmetics, plastic surgery, and carnival tricks.

Thank-you for sharing that piece! It gives one hope that the WHOLE world isn't insanely obessesed with loooking plastic.

I'm in total agreement; who wants plastic barbie dolls when there are real beautiful women around.
