    "Ugly" is the New Beautiful. Or is it?

    [size=16pt]Too 'ugly' to model?[/size]


    Not according to one talent agency in New York City. "Ugly," founded in 1969, looks for unique models who are not considered traditionally beautiful. According to agency founder Simon Rogers, "beauty really does come in all shapes and sizes," and in the modeling industry, there's room for all. Realizing that the word "ugly" carries a rather negative connotation, Rogers admits his agency's name is more "tongue in cheek" than literal, but don’t expect Gisele Bundchen on their roster anytime soon. "We now represent a really candid cross-section of what America is," he said.

    So step aside, supermodels! Enjoy these 27 images of people who are from every walk of life.

    I'm average.  I'll model, but I might have to kill that albino.  Albino people freak me out.

    The second guy reminds me of Metalmon. :lol:

    I like this idea. Despite the name "Ugly" it's a way to make people see that all types of people are beautiful. I know a girl who models and was told repeatedly that she was 'too fat' (she was a size 1 omggg) but then she did a photo shoot for Victoria's Secret, so HA to the modeling industry!

    I enjoyed seeing all the different people in the pictures.

    Re: "Ugly" is the New Beautiful. Or is it?

    The journalist who wrote this article must not be aware that most &quot;high fashion&quot; models are not attractive in the least bit. Most of them have unique facial features, or what they're now deeming to be &quot;ugly.&quot; I'm not talking about Victoria's Secret models, because for the most part, they're more attractive face-wise in general. But I think women like this...:



    ...are usually what high fashion modelling agencies look for. I guess I'm just not sure why this is now considered to be something new?

    ETA: Did anyone watch MTV's Made with the cute little mixed Asian hippy guy who wanted to be a fashion model? He totally would've fit in with the people illustrated in this piece.

    Okay. I've just personally always noticed that runway models aren't very great to look at. Too skinny, first of all, and most of them don't fall into the particularly &quot;beautiful&quot; category of people. Of course, there are exceptions. But I think they're usually chosen for their uniqueness/oddity so they stick in people's minds. They're so unphotogenic that they are photogenic. I mean, how many pretty models can a person see without losing track of who's who?
