Want to overcome the world's impossible expectations of beauty? Join Misfit Models - good lookers need not apply!
Pretty Ugly In the age of photoshop, the pressure on the ugly, wrinkled and pigeon-breasted has never been so great. But Del Keens, a self-confessed gargoyle and welfare-dependant, is here to turn the tables. After being scouted by an advertising photographer and fronting major campaigns by Levi's and Calvin Klein, he's forming his own modelling agency - good-lookers need not apply. But is this a liberating counter concept? Or simply coquetry to reaffirm our ideal of beauty?- Stage
