Eva: "Butchered Haircut"

"This picture was taken in 1988 and despite my wildly printed garments, most people would mistake me for a boy. My butchered haircut was the result of my mother’s insistence that having long hair would make me very uncomfortable in summer. Shame we lived in the UK, which as memory serves, was always freezing. 

"The family hairdresser was a lady called Milada from the Czech Republic with a penchant for leather. She smelt of antiseptic and as far as I am aware never actually worked in a hair salon. I think my mother lent her my head as some sort of favour. 

"My missing tooth was another sore point, mostly because it was the result of a rough handed aunt who insisted my firm baby tooth was wobbly (it wasn’t and I would probably be showing it off proudly today if it was). I was never shy to bear my teeth whether it be in a grimace (due to haircut) or beam (in denial). 

"In the 70s and 80s brown seemed a very fashionable colour for people to decorate their houses with. Our couch was a talking point with all guests who remarked at how comfortable it was. Today it’s sitting in the car garage waiting for its eventual placement in a museum." --Eva

Hey, not everyone was born a super model. I bet we can dig through that old shoebox of Polaroids at Adriana Lima's mom's house and find some less-than-charming shots. But this website lets you rock your inner ugly duckling, then flaunt the swan you've become. And who can argue - the best catches are the ones who didn't grow up being treated like the attractive elite. AMIRITE?
