Have a look at the painting Venus at the Mirror by Rubens. Called Beauty is in the Eye, it’s in the post immediately before this one. Does the woman posing as Venus, Goddess of Beauty, seem attractive to you? Then look at the photo in this post.

Is this model on your left your idea of beauty? Are you in line with modern trends where emaciation is seen as beautiful?

Feast your eyes on one of today’s beauties, a model, a paragon of pulchritude, an inspiration for all young girls everywhere to emulate.

I believe the look is called ‘heroin chic’ although the reason why heroin, a dangerous and illegal drug, would be considered chic escapes me.

I must be old fashioned. The photo nauseates me. If this young woman were my daughter I would have her in hospital instantly. I’ve seen healthier looking and more attractive people in the terminal care ward.
