Previous entries: Part 1, Part 2. This entry addresses Ana Beatriz Barros, and she is compared to Keeley Hazell.
Ana Beatriz Barros (left) has a more masculine face than Keeley Hazell's.
Some pictures of the face of Ana Beatriz Barros reveal above average masculinization, some could be mistaken for depicting a woman with a face in the normal-to-feminine range, as in the picture below, whereas in the figure after the one below, Ms. Barros leans toward a transsexual look.
In face photos where Ms. Barros looks more feminine, hair may be covering part of her face such as her [masculinized] jawline or [high] cheekbones and/or the effect is achieved by pose and make-up. Ms. Barros’ overall looks and a side-by-side comparison with a feminine woman leave no doubt about her above average masculinization. Some seemingly feminine features is Ms. Barros -- such as thick lips and a more protruding jaw compared to European women of comparable masculinization -- appear to be best conceptualized as elements of non-European ancestry in her/family features rather than indicators of feminization. Ancestry confounds are best avoided in comparisons, and this is why I initially left Ms. Barros out when I addressed ‘Who finds [top-ranked] “sexy fashion models” sexy?’ However, it appears that Ms. Barros simply has to be addressed, at least to avoid giving the impression that she is not discussed because she is among the women who are an exception to the general pattern of above-average masculinization among “sexy” fashion models.
In spite of breast implants, there is nothing feminine-looking about the physique of Ms. Barros; Keeley beats Ana hands down.
Ms. Barros also has relatively large, usightly feet.
Although Keeley’s backside isn’t her best part, it is easily more feminine than that of Ana’s.
As in previous entries, a comparison of Ms. Barros with a woman having small breasts and no exaggerated curves will reinforce the conclusion that Ms. Barros is indeed masculine and her physique approaches the looks of male-to-female transsexuals because of the way her form is but not because she is compared to a woman with exaggerated feminine curves.
The following woman is Annie B. from Met-Art; note the absence of anything approaching transsexual looks in her in spite of her not being very curvaceous. Annie B. is not suitable for high-profile lingerie modeling, but Ana Beatriz Barros is a “top-sexy” Victoria’s Secret lingerie model!
the models you have been comparing all have higher cheekbones--itsjsut hte "feminine"ones are fuller all over,including there faces. ana's cheeks are more sunken than anything else.great example:
halle berry hashigh cheekbones that don'tlook remotely masculine/sunken

they are full, healthy, and rounded
take a look at ana beatriz in one of her first covers as a teenmodel--- its all the weight loss that has made her look masculine(low body fat to be specific). her face looks lotally different.

Kristin: Weight gain or loss is not going to change the masculinized skeletal proportions of Ana Beatriz Barros. Your picture, which is not very clear, just shows Ana’s face, which doesn’t manifest a feminine chin length or feminine supraorbital region. There are plenty of pictures of Ana where her face doesn’t look that masculine. Seeing her face from multiple angles and her physique leave no doubt about her above average masculinization.
I'd really have to question the authenticity of Keeley's breasts just because they seem unusually large and it's not uncommon for those of the porn industry to get implants (I guess the point was more natural feminine beauty, than anything). Oh, and don't bash on feet, unless you find Chinese foot binding attractive too. Pardon if this comment was off topic, my mind tends to wander in growing resentment of this site because by your definition I'm found to be lacking feminine beauty.
Chris: There are women with much larger all-natural breasts than Keeley’s. Keeley has natural breasts (32E), and they don’t look fake to start with. A surgeon who could use breast implants to give women the looks of Keeley’s breasts would be in great demand. Besides, Keeley is not into porn; she is just a topless model.
You should not be considering the arguments here in light of where you are placed with respect to feminine beauty; you need to consider the models and beauty pageant contestants addressed.
Sorry but I def think Ana Beatriz Barros face is prettier. I don't see any masculization at all. But I don't like her body its not femminine at all. But I don't like Kealy Hazel mface or body. The faces you show and compare with the supermodles are very average,dull and boring,plain. I don't like most of the bodys becasue they're breasts are way too big and they're too short and flabby.
Chris2: I have not been featuring "flabby" glamour models. Of course, if you are a homosexual like the homosexual fashion designers but are pretending to be straight, I can understand why you would find the likes of Keeley "flabby."
Keeley Hazell is not short; she is at least 5-foot-7. Annie B. above doesn't look short either.
I don't think Kealy is flabby at all. I meant the others like Grace compared with Gisele Bundchen.
By the way most everybody thinks Ana Beatriz Barros has one of the most beautiful faces ever! Including me.
I like Def more femminie bodies but not as buxom and curvaceous as Kealy Hazel's.
Elsa Benitez,Christy Turlingotn are perfect example's of the kind of bodies I like in women

Chris2: If you were referring to Grace in the second part of this series, then this is not the entry where you should have left your comment. Anyway, Grace is less curvaceous than Keeley and is not "flabby" either.
Whats so masculine about ana beatriz barro's face?! It looks all woman to me! f a woman has really high cheekbones it means she has a masculine face?1
Caterina: A high placement of the cheekbones will not by itself make a woman look masculine. The masculine element in Ms. Barros' face can be seen by comparing various parts of her face with Keeley Hazell's. Note that apart from higher cheekbones, Ms. Barros has a squarer chin, longer chin, sharper gonial angles (formed by vertical and horizontal portions of the lower jaw), deeper-set eyes, a lower placement of the eyebrows and greater bony development right above her eyes.
that picture of ana barros as a teenager is very convincing! she doesnt look high fashion material at all there because she looks too soft too feminine
i really think this is a good website, an eyeopener for people who believe that natural beauty cannot be found in normal woman, but only in the magazines and on the runway
keep up the good work !
That's one hot man-model in make-up though!
I think it is cruel to label these women as transexual. Are you not, by calling these women unnatractive, actually creating a negative attitude towards image for the average girls (ie not supermodels) who perhaps have typically masculine features, e.g a straight nose and/or high cheek bones etc. Not all women are typically feminine with soft features, thats just genetics. However much i agree with you that feminine women are more attractive in person, those with angular features and strong jawlines provide a better subject for photographs. If a designer wanted to promote an overly feminine range of clothing, they would invariably choose a model along the lines of Josie Maran. However, high fashion often involves clothes with strong lines and fabrics, the models used in haute couture shows and campaigns tend to mirror this. There is no question that there are more feminine women than high fashion models but in criticising the way they look you are only providing a positive image for a percentage of women, not all. Some men find masculine women more attractive, some don't. It's all a question of taste, but it does not mean to say that one type of woman is more beautiful than the other.
Kristin, I'm gonna kill you bitch! Ana is more beautiful and feminine than you will ever be! YOU DUMB BITCH!
I don't know what you mean by ana's "non-european" heritage. Ana Beatriz Barros is Brazilian by nationality, but her ancestry/heritage is strictly Portuguese and Spanish. And she is way more beautiful than Keeley.
Erik : deepset eyes, big nose and eye socket are character of common european people. I think ana look more caucasian than keeley. keeleys' eyes are not in the deep set like several european women don't u think? except those whom come from france. their eyes tend to be smaller and without eye socket just like in fare ast asian people. such as sophie marceau ,mylene farmer etc. erik, please don't claim that ana is non-caucasian? because her character is what I seen in several caucasian . deepset eyes are not the thing common among the other race like asian but it's common among european.
the same as triangular shape face and long chin. you can try ask some urban chinese women? they'd answer they find ana beatrize's face is very beautifull and oposite than them awhile keeley 's face is something more common in far east asian women's shape face.
Look at this picture below, the right side is the pic of south east asian actress that all far east asian like japanese, chinese that look like in the left side actress,are wanted to be.
you can notice the girl appears to look more caucasian? she has deepset eyes? and eyes socket? with big nose? and this not common in far east asian women, everyone there like big nose and deepset eyes. the women with bridge nose, deepset eyes and eyes socket are women that look more caucasian and pretty.
It's well known and obvious that curvier figures are more appealing to men, but some women aren't blessed with that ideal. I agree that a lot of runway models are grossly skeletal and suffer eating disorders, but some women are naturally very thin and sites like this make us feel more unattractive than we already do. Designers choose thinner women for their shows because the figure is versatile for the clothes, much like a mannequin's figure. A runway model's figure is an unrealistic image to idolize just like a model with a 40JJ bust. How jealous must someone be to criticize the size of someones feet? :lol:
zonneschijn: you're a fucking idiot. keeley is way hotter than ana beatriz.
and another thing zonneschijn: barros doesnt look oriental, she looks part black or amerindian you idiot. that's probably what erik meant. why the fuck are you bringing up asians? you are a fucking dumbass.
look at barros' big lips is that typical of europeans? LOL
and those deep tired looking eyes. that may be european but that's not nordic, that's cro magnoid. her eye ridges are way too pronounced.
nooo that is not pretty shut the fuck up zonneschijn
The body comparison with six of Keeleys top quality professional studio photos has only one studio (green outfit) of Ana, OK two including the last beach - but she is walking. I think people in the business of fashion or glamour photography would not think this balance fair. Moreover Keeley is holding specialist glamour poses - for an hour probably with who knows how many shots disguarded - whereas Ana is twice striking a fashion pose on the catwalk at a show, it is hardly surprising Keeley comes out best. Annie B's outdoor shots are comparable for lighting and photography unfortunately she is posing and many unflattering shots may have been disguarded. Ana is also shown in merciless outdoor light but is paparazzied fixing her hair. Although its over against a studio set piece the backstage one is closer to being a comparison, Ana looks good smiling whereas Keeley keeps her mouth slightly open to look sexy which she does. With this one a chance missed to give an idea of their respective statures which I feel would favour Ana.
Keeley has the goods but her photos are too expertly done for a level playing field body comparison, I think this gives an "out" for the targets while using Annie B leaves them no excuses, perhaps your purport is beyond my understanding again. Having said all this the catwalk shots are startlingly masculine, the red lingerie alone justifies your characterization of this show. Ms Barros has huge feet with protruding heel bones - easily mistaken for something on floor on first glance - and oddly spaced toes.(typo on this caption - "usightly"? )
RE "Ana looks good smiling"
Why do models rarely smile on the catwalk, are they told not to because it would make them look too feminine? Fashion models seem to be setting their jaw to look serious, tough, or hard. The fashion pose - throwing the pelvis grotesquely forward - is strange.
She looks like a boy wearing lipstick!
