Cod-damn gorgeous! The chip shop girl who has 'Britain's most beautiful face'
Daily Mail ^ | 20th April 2012 | Paul Harris

'Leonardo Da Vinci spent a lifetime trying to paint one. Scientists and mathematicians have puzzled for centuries over what makes one, while cosmetic surgeons have amassed fortunes striving to create one.

And Florence Colgate? Well, she simply has one.

The 18-year-old student is blessed with what is described as the perfect face. It matches an international blueprint for the optimum ratio between eyes, mouth, forehead and chin, endowing her with flawless proportions.

In theory, that needn't necessarily cause her to appear anything more than symmetrical (in which department, incidentally, she is also faultless).

But the blue-eyed blonde's mathematical dimensions have just added up to success in a competition to find Britain's most naturally beautiful face.

Florence, who has a Saturday job in a seaside chip shop in between studying for her A-levels, beat 8,000 entrants to win the title. Contestants were judged without make-up and were barred entry if they had had plastic surgery or chemical enhancement.

Locals wryly suggested it was the sea air in the Dover Grammar schoolgirl's home town of Deal, Kent, which contributed to her success, or possibly a secret ingredient in Middle Street Fish Bar's chips.

But it is the scientific definition of beauty – not to mention a healthy portion of beauty genes from her mother – which gave Florence the crown.'

She does have a sort of “dictionary definition” beauty, though. I can see what they are saying here.

Very Scando looking, that is for sure.

Lovely eyes.

What an angelic face. I hope she lives up to her appearance. You know...”pretty is as pretty does”.

That would not be surprizing. Georges Washington complained that the new 2nd generation German immigrants were dum as a rock and a threat to the nation.

That's not surprising either. The Native Americas complained that the whitefaced man was dumb as a fish and a threat to the Indian people.

Works for me.

And may I parenthetically state is, according to a pet theory, the reason blacks hate whites.

Now, God protect that kid from the media maggots who would do a "Marylin Monroe" on her.

In Poland she would be average.

She may actually be the average for her own population group. I once saw a demonstration of a computer generated composite of all the faces, female or male, in a group. I forget the circumstances of this display, but what struck me that the resulting "average" face was one of classic beauty. I'll bet that works for every racial and ethnic group it is tried with as well as the whole human enchilada.

I think the reason that most posters here are not impressed by her looks is because of her so-called scientific "perfection." Humans are attracted to the imperfect, I think, the unique qualities, the quirky. I understand the scientific point as to her symmetry, but for most men (and even women) that makes her merely average.

A Polish army officer once told me, “the reason you have Polish jokes in America is because we sent you the dumb ones.”

I thought of replying that the smart Poles were all exterminated in Katyn Forest, but refrained.

Anyway, this British gal’s cute no doubt, but she would IMO come up only average among Slavic beauties.

She is cute, not doubt about it, but I guess living in Texas you get spoiled to cute cowgirls everywhere.
