The world is now a lot more accepting of alternative beauties, featuring them on mainstream mediums, eschewing the classic (read: boring) standard of beauty.
I am particularly in love with these pictures of disabled models – proofs that disabilities do not limit one’s attractiveness.
Viktoria Modesta is a British model and singer. A doctor’s negligence at her birth led to a life-long problem with her left leg. In 2007, she had a voluntary below-the-knee leg amputation to improve her mobility and safeguard her future health. Her appearance has since become known for challenging the modern perception of beauty.
