Les Belles

I'm really not a person who has an affinity for models. They generally seem pretty generic nowadays. All of them seem to be blonde with wide-set eyes. This are of course beautiful, but not unique in my opinion. My favorites are Liya Kebede, Du Juan, and Amanda Laine. They have a regalness and a sensitivity in their faces that I don't normally see in many models today.





Ooh, and I got an award! My first one, from lovely Carlene. I'm ridiculously excited :))


Blogs who receive this award are "exceedingly charming," says it's authors. This award is a fine one because it focuses not on the glory and fanfare of blogging, but in the PROXIMITY to one another through this online-world. "This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this clever-written text into into the body of their award.

Thank you again! I will pass this onto...

I totally agree with all models being generic. I don't get what's the hype with 'super model' phenomenon. Blonde, waif-like thin etc etc. Your featured models are versatile and interesting. Say yes for diversity!

Liya is gorgeous. She has a classic beauty with a little edge.
