BEAUTY AND THE BEST

Talking about beauty is not easy because it involve subjective notions.
Obviously there's differents types of beauty, fashions designers often makes an significant evolution in our perception of beauty, but not only: the movies and the general pop culture.
Somehow the world of art doesn't care about beauty and it definition since the 20th century.

Here is a first try to show different type of beauty for women and men faces.
Classical: calm and classy expression

Extreme: an extraordinary type of face, like a painting, beautiful and surreal

Innocent: Youth means beauty?!

Savage: a sexy attraction

The pictures here are taken from our pop culture, of course from a country to another the view on beauty are very differents.

We'll see later a proposition of ideal beauty, would you like to share your impression?

What is beauty?

Here is a question I ask myself since years... What is beauty?
 Here I talk only about the face: the first thing that we see, and the most expressive part of the body, by the way someone with a body not very attrative but with a beautiful face is better than the opposite...
Well obviously it depend of each taste, but not only, some scientists have done research that proves that some type of face with a good balance are seductive to everybody!

Here I took two differents types of test to see if a face has a good balance and so is potentialy beautiful!
As you can see legend Elizabeth Taylor has almost a perfect face: the balance between her eyes, nose and lips is perfect, folowing the test she could have had a stronger chin... But in fact, to me, beauty is different for man and woman, even if some people have a universal beauty... But most of the time we prefer women with a tiny face and men with a strong bone structure on their face.

FOREVER YOUNG

Hey! it's been a long time since I didn't use that blog, but I discovered an amazing artist that totaly fits the concept of the blog: Mamie Van Doren, she's a glamour icon of the 50's (like Marylin Monroe & Jayne Mansfield) but she's a survivor! And she has the magic of Hollywood inside her because at 79 she's still amazing...

Look at this wallpaper I did for my other blog!

GLAM & DEATH ::: J-E.H

After that article about Anna-Nicole Smith, I wonder why so often the most beautiful dies young...

The best examples are James Dean & Marylin Monroe. But it still happens and I'd like to remind you of

Jon-Erik Hexum.

He was a young, sexy and talented american actor who died at 26. The circonstances of his death are still a controversy: is it an accident or a suicide?

J-E.H was famous for his roles in two 80's series "Voyager" & "Cover up", he also appears in the movie "Making of a Male Model" co-starring Joan Collins.

JON-ERIK

Here are some others pictures of Jon-Erik.

J-E.H was a handsome guy who had that typical "american male" appearance.

It's not easy to define what can be glamour for a men, but I think Jon-Erik can embody this definition because of his beauty and his 50's style.

DEATH OF A GLAM-TRASH IDOL

I had to do a special tribute for the Glam icon Anna Nicole Smith who recently left us in a strange situation... This death is tragic but it seems to be a part of Anna's destiny. Here is a beautiful picture of her, but I'll put others later... This history remaid me of Jayne Mansield and of course Marylin...

She was 39yeas old.

Mariah is glam! Why? Miss M.C is one of the best seller artist in the world, she recently was #1 with her last song. But still she's not always apreciated: too famous, too girlie, too Diva, too much glitter... Too much... But in fact since 1997 Mariah has change a lot and now she's a glam icon! The good advice is to look at her make-up... Perfect!


Here are some new pictures from her "myspace" page.
