What you need in your life, is not the ordinary


Unusual is extraordinary. That's the motto I live by, mainly when it comes to beauty. Seeing an unusual face (or item) just makes life more interesting. Imperfections tell a story.  Who cares about mass production? Because in the end we all are a product of mass production. Catch my eye with your imperfections. To give you an impression of what I mean, I'd like you to see the pictures of my favourite models.

When I'm online I'm always looking for the extraordinary. Whether it's a model or just photography. Those are the things that make life interesting. That's also why I'm not a big fan of the "standard" models. A model is beautiful when I see imperfections or unique features.
Therefore, one of my favourite quotes is:

Perfection is boring. If a face doesn't have mistakes, it's nothing. 

- Kevyn Aucoin

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favourite pictures. 
And this post is dedicated to three of my favourite models.

  
Gemma Ward
My favourite model of all time. Gemma Ward. If I'd ever launch a makeup line, I'd definitely ask her to be my model. No doubt. She looks like a doll from outer space, in a good way of course! Her eyes, her expression, her mouth/lips. Definitely not your girl next door. She has something extraterrestrial! I love how her eyes are wide apart, how her nose is a bit flat and her mouth is droopy. Love her.




  
Iekeliene Stange
Iekeliene Stange's face screams haute couture! Not your average girl, not even your average model. And I think you already know that's why I'm absolutely LOVING the middle picture. Look at that, just look. Look!! She looks like Ursula/a goth/a vampire. Without even trying that hard! Her cheekbones are just wauw. I wonder how she would look like when she'd gain weight, though. Would the prominent cheekbones still be as prominent? I guess we'll never know..




  
Kelly Mittendorf
And last, but certainly not least: Kelly Mittendorf. The freckled cat-alien model that just seems so surreal. Her last name is so accurate, because she actually looks like the human version of a cat. As I'm staring at her pictures, I just don't know how to describe her. I will let her face do the talking. So beautiful, sigh..



These are just a few of my favourite models. I have many more, but I thought I'd start with sharing these.
You can count on part 2 of this post! So what do you think? Can you appreciate the "weirdness" in some models?
And who is your favourite model?



EDIT: there's a part 2 rrrrrrrright here!

  1. Oh, wow, these are beautiful and really unique models! You know I love me some extrordinary beauty. I never memorize models, because most of them look like clones (well and because I'm not really paying attention to models, lol). But I noticed that I always look at women that have something "different". I think that these models are better to look up to, rather than "oh so perfect" models. Always love your flaws, work with them, not against them!
    Love this post, as always!

    1. You already are my favourite model! And it's not because of your forehead (there's nothing wrong with your forehead, silly), but because of your charisma :) X
