Came across a fascinating link - a journalist sends her photo around the world and asks them to 'make her beautiful' using photoshop. These are the results: http://www.estherhonig.com/#!before--after-/cvkn
I found most interesting how little some countries changed her face...and how much others changed her (e.g. USA), but also how some changed her to look more like those in their own country - beauty for some is clearly defined by "looking like us" while for others it is "looking different". Beauty - a subject that gives me endless fascination, especially since becoming a mother and seeing beauty of babies through the eyes of their mothers.
