Born into one life on this tiny planet, we are bound together by our genetic programming. Initially rebellious, we strive to be different, fearing that we will become a carbon copy of our parents. In our teenage years, you will follow the latest trend. You'll listen to obscure music. You are young and wild. You'll never become your parents. However, all efforts prove to be futile and suddenly, everything will change: the tidal waves of your genetic destiny beckons you. You'll mate, settle down and have children, and follow in the footsteps of your parents.
You know what is ironic? Our perception of beauty is all a lie. Beauty is merely a concept shaped together by our genetics. Presented with thousands and thousands of faces, we come into contact with a great variety of people. Give someone a group of faces and ask him/her to to decipher who is the most beautiful, s/he will undoubtedly pick the most average face. Blend every face imaginable; the common denominator will be deemed beautiful. Beauty is the most evenly mixed face. Beauty is not striking or the most different, because those are all a genetic risk. A gamble. Beauty isn't special at all.
There is a reason why a regular "beautiful" female cannot be a model. Art cannot be average; it is different, hence why it stands out from the scenery of every day life.
