Despite still being on the plan which allows us to view every single Foxtel channel {for an exorbitant sum mind, not out of the goodness of their teeny black hearts...}, we tend to stick to a few favourites. Well, last night, due to a dearth of anything on my usual channels I stepped outside my comfort zones and watched a biography of Audrey Hepburn. I've always been enchanted by her, have watched most of her films, and could just drown in those gorgeous eyes. Which was why I was astonished to hear that she described her face as "a square, with tiny, little eyes". What? Those enormous doe eyes above? Sure, she has the most exquisite eye make-up, but small, square? Pardon? People never see us the way we imagine ourselves do they?
I've always been self-conscious of my smile. People say they love it best. I've also been self-conscious of having a large forehead and a crooked nose. Funny that instead of allowing myself a mop of hair to hide behind, I just cut it all off constantly and sort of force myself to deal with those issues daily.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if stars and iconically good looking people are far more insecure than the rest of us and whether this drives the perfection factor even more.
I spent years trying to cover my forehead with a curly fringe, always standing with my back to any wind, then I realised it was what made my face mine.
ReplyDeleteYou know who I actually feel for? Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Anniston who must be the two most airbrushed stars - their chins never look the same from cover to cover. How on earth could you maintain any sense of self-confidence in the face of that {apart from everything else mind - reckon Reese is pretty confident, but between the chin and the constant baby bump watch...}
