'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.'

The crack of dawn isn’t safe around you. :{)
Laz would hit it like the fist of an angry god.
You sure are mighty angry for someone who’s got nothing to apologize for.
Me spoiling for a fight? All I did was point out to you that you were generalizing when you said, “black people hate whites.” That’s a blanket statement that sullies black people of decent character, of which I know many.
A simple acknowledgement of that would have been sufficient, but apparently, you’re one of those people who would rather die a painful death than be proved wrong about anything.
And for your information, I don’t see racism everywhere I see white people. Far from it. I also don’t see racism everywhere I see black people, either. That said, I do know that it exists, and that some people are afflicted with that mental aberration.
Alright, I’m done here. I think I made my point.
Feh. UK and Irish girls never win international beauty contests for a reason.
Ah...isn’t that Neuschwanstein castle in Austria?
Wales is part of Britain.
Britain and England are not the same.
First of all, she's blonde. On my scale, that is an automatic 2 point deduction.
nice try. This has nothing to with race and everything to do with culture. I don't give a rip what color you are. The black culture, as reported, is vainly, nihilistically, and self-destructively obsessed with the color of its own and everyone else's skin.
YUMMY!
Most of the ‘I’d hit it,’ ‘guilty (or not),’ ‘not my type,’ and ‘we have better in XYZland’ posters seem to have bypassed the article and purpose of the competition completely. As usual.
Hey! Poland built the first oil refinery! I searched Google and I found that! Vodka too. :-D
Also their 2 largest political parties are both right of center, the socialists are a poor third!
But for nasty neighbors and subjugation, I think Poland would be economically on par with France and Germany.
Very nice very fresh looking ..
Yeah, I know....and it’s also the home of Copernicus. It was just an obligatory Polish joke jab.
I’d be a regular at her restaurant.
I agree!
Oh sure!
