in the eye of the beholder

humans have always loved and appreciated beauty. but what is it really? I read this article today -- Natural Women: The Top 10 authentic beauties. It says and I quote:

As Albert Camus once said, "Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time." In other words, "Hot chicks totally rule."

Another profound quote from Albert Einstein confirms the above statement, "Anatomy is destiny."

the article goes on to say...

The fairest of them all?

Audrey Hepburn, by a landslide.

The selections, made by beauty and fashion editors, makeup artists, photographers, and modeling execs and whittled down from a not-quite-comprehensive list of 100 names, were based on such scientific calculations as the "embodiment of natural beauty, healthy living ... beautiful on the inside and out, with great skin and a natural glow to their personality, as well as their complexion." Translation: The choices were completely arbitrary.

"Audrey Hepburn is the personification of natural beauty," says Elle beauty director Rosie Green. "She has a rare charm and inner beauty that radiates when she smiles." (If you ask us, the ladylike screen legend's unwavering support of charitable children's causes enhanced her already considerable genetic gifts.)

"Look, whenever I hear or read I'm beautiful, I simply don't understand it," Hepburn once said. "I'm certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn't make my career on beauty."

Pillow-lipped Liv Tyler placed second in the poll, with flawless lovelies Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie and Grace Kelly rounding out the top 5. Completing the random list: Aussie chanteuse Natalie Imbruglia, Oscar winners Juliette Binoche and Halle Berry, and supermodels Helena Christensen and Elle MacPherson."
