The Ugly Side Of Beauty

(*Note*) ~ (The following is an important message to all concerned parents) - If you have a teenage daughter who wants to be a fashion model, I strongly suggest that (in order to bring her to her senses) you have her watch "America The Beautiful" and (hopefully) this eye-opening presentation will have her taking a reality check.

In this "Beauty Vs. Ugly" documentary there can be no denying the intense seduction and the powerful appeal that the fashion industry can have on young, impressionable girls.

But, with that in mind - I am relieved to say that "America the Beautiful" did do a fairly convincing job of dispelling all of the glamour and glitz that initially lures one into believing that being a supermodel is, indeed, the ultimate dream career, bar none.
