SPC-Week 3 (The Politics of My Face) The Golden Ratio

SPC challenge-Politcal Week 3

Dr. Marquardt conducts research on human attractiveness. He published his golden Ratio theory a few years ago online. The idea is as follows; since many things in nature that are beautiful can be mathematical analyzed to that of the Golden Phi, like the symmetry of a sunflower, pinecones and the spiral of a sea-shell, so too can one look at some of the most beautiful celebrity faces and mathematically realize that they equate to the golden ratio.

As you can see here, I do not have a golden ratio face. Dr. Marquardt designed 'a mask' that could be placed over a photograph and illustrate the golden ratio over what you currently have. In this way you could see what needs to be augmented and perhaps even have your plastic surgeon use the mask as a guide for alteration. Though Dr. Marquardt tries to state a mission of empowerment via his studies...I do not prescribe to this structure - not because my face doesn't fit the mask and who wouldn't want it to? But because some greater force designed my face just as it is! And like every good West Side Puerto Rican -'I feel pretty!'

I'm totally with you - my face (and body) may not fit the media's accepted norm, but I love my divine designer fingerprint. How boring would the world be if we all fit into a single mold!
