To me she's pretty and rather sweet, but not a great beauty. Surely her name isn't Colgate?? As in the toothpaste?? The most beautiful women I've ever seen were in Senegal. The Wolof women have enormous grace, long swanlike necks and superb facial bone structure. They walk like queens. I wish I looked like them!

Granted, this young lady is quite pretty, but what makes a woman beautiful comes from inside.

Yes, Ebbie, 'mushy peas' with fish and chips, most often in the north of England. But please someone tell me the lassie's name isn't Colgate!!

Lots of people are called Colgate. What on earth is wrong with the name? There's Gibbs toothpaste too, but nothing wrong with the name Gibbs either.

And would you go on if she was called Smith or Walker because of the crisps?

To say nothing of the excellent Myer beds!

certainly a pretty young woman -- and definitely watching her is way better than looking at Mittens, er, Willard -- but where do the "scientists" get those standards of "perfection," "ideal" and "flawless"?

I have never heard of anyone called Colgate as a first name. I wonder why her parents chose it? I suppose it's better than Oral B.

Florence Colgate.

but where do the "scientists" get those standards of "perfection," "ideal" and "flawless"?

These are the standards. They have been around for thousands of years. they are mentioned in the story.

perfectly symmetrical face, large eyes, full lips, high cheekbones.

On this side of the pond, we just had one of the current pop singers declared "The most beautiful woman in America". The particular young woman is in fact stunning. But I hardly know where to begin to respond to the mindlessness of the "honor". Even forgetting the basic truth that Don Firth nailed, and judging women on the same basis as a row of plaster casts, how could anyone actually pick her out from a group of a few thousand young women who are fortunate enough to have
really attractive features.

Symetry has to do with measurement (duh!); I read once that ex-number of inch-fractions between eyes and between the nose and mouth translates to beauty or the lack thereof. The article then went on to depict various beauties of our culture who are smashing even though their mouths are too large or the noses are hooked or slightly over-sized.

In other words animation and charm are far more meaningful than measurement.

(I agree with the cutlery comment- I would not knowingly allow a person to handle a spoon or fork or knife by anything other than the handle.)

Florence is pretty in an unfinished, teenage sort of way. Beauty requires some years of being lived in.

She was named 'natural beauty' I think, based on a photp of her face without any make-up. Make-up makes a huge amount of difference to the appearance of most women's faces, especially those famous women people think of as great beauties.

Aaaah, so her name's Florence, not Colgate! What a relief, I've been awake all night worrying about the poor little soul. Seriously though, isn't it a bit unkind to the young to have all this dwelling on beauty, sexiness, looks etc? Young lassies are insecure enough, plastering themselves with make-up and getting put down if they don't resemble a porn star. They consider dieting, plastic surgery, breast ops, tanning and so on, at an age when they should be carefree, simply having fun, doing sports and dancing. To go around measuring their little faces and judging their 'beauty' seems to be putting back the clock on women's liberation. No-one goes to these lengths with young men do they? (And I bet there have been some terribly wicked people over the years with symmetrical faces!)

My attitude regarding the trust I can muster for opions of "mathematicians" on beauty is probably a little biased by my observations of a mathematician who roomed a couple of doors down from me at the University. He apparently had "some influence" with a friend at one of the nearby "women's schools" and by that influence (or extortion) persuaded her to "find him a date" for every weekend of the three semesters during which we were in the same dorm.

Despite his pleadings, though, he was never able to get a second date with any of the victims.

He was, so far as I could tell, a very gifted mathematician; but understanding "beauty" wasn't in his repertoire.

The girl selected in the "contest" cited had appropriately "symmetrical" features, although not necessaritly a "shape" I'd find most appealing; and I'd agree with the description of "pretty," but also must agree that I probably wouldn't notice her as being "exceptional" in a crowd.

I'll admit to watching the tennis match in bits and pieces yesterday, despite tennis being almost as boring as anything else that was on, but I think I would notice "that girl" (Maria) in any crowd. She's more than "pretty enough" - - - and does something - which I find somewhat attractive.

"I probably wouldn't notice her as being "exceptional" in a crowd."

As far as standing out in a crowd, well it's worth remembering that something like 90% of American women wear make-up every day. Make-up can change someone's appearance quite dramatically. Just check out the great celebrity beauties without make-up, most of them would barely pass muster as "OK looking" without all the slap. The competition was for a face that was considered "naturally beautiful" without any make-up. I think she definitely passes as a natural beauty. Not "glamorous", not "stunning", but a "natural beauty", yes.

I can see several points at which her face is not perfectly symmetrical. I think she is quite pretty but looks somewhat vapid. For true beauty rather than mere prettiness there is a need for some power - and that is not present.

Florence is a lovely girl with the right emotions she would be stunning! Its not the expensive dress of make up that make brides look more beautiful.

Intelligent, lively eyes also enhance beauty. Cate Blanchett wouldn't make any top 100 for beauty if all the judges hsd to go on was photos. But on screen she is very attractive.

"Make-up can change someone's appearance quite dramatically."

Me mum always said, "A little paint can spruce up an old barn." Then again, she never needed any paint. Good lookin woman that took great care in her health by eating well and exercising all her life. She looks great for 85.
