[Closed] Naturally beautiful...

What a bizarre post.

Go on then, enlighten us, what's the point of this post?

That's the solution. Just let the good looking ones in.

If we take note of the hour this thread was started. It's highly likely alcohol was involved...

It's this, but today, in Europe.

Most memorable 'naturally beautiful' recent image for me was right at the end of 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' when the Scandinavian princess turns over to fulfil her promise...

unfitgeezer's in luuurrvvve.

I don't understand why the screenshot is "timeless".

Your picture isn't of migrants or refugees, so not really.

First picture is mleh. Nowhere near the timeless impact of the "Migrant Mother" image that midlifecrashes posted.

Interesting thing about the "Migrant Mother" is that it is a lie.

The photographer, Dorothea Lange, basically made up a compelling back story for it: [i]"Seven hungry children. Father is native Californian. Destitute in pea pickers’ camp ... because of failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tires to buy food... I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was 32. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food."[/i]

The subject, [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Owens_Thompson ]Florence Owens Thompson[/url], tells a different story.

(Also it is retouched. [url= http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/list/128_migm.html ]The original[/url] is darker and has a big distracting thumb in the right hand corner)

True enough, but that's how it's titled and was presented for at least forty years. It doesn't appear that the reporter with the picture on the BBC website has tried to give us this family's full story either.

Knit pickers are in !

I took a screen shot to show the picture !

She happens to be very pretty and sometimes its nice to recognise that, irrelevant that she's a migrant etc.

Personally I don't she's all that, Migrant or not. 😕

Shag it but wouldn't go out with it, as the saying went at school.

Both pictures are, although the Lange one is a lot better.

A new low for stw

Odd thread gets odder.

Here are some referendum-Greeks. The one in the middle is very pretty. I think it's important to recognise that, irrelevant that she's probably bankrupt.

Yep shes much more betterer!!

If we take note of the hour this thread was started. It's highly likely alcohol was involved...

That's a splendid template for a Monday night in, right there. Bottle of Scotch, browse the news websites for pictures of hot refugees.

🙂

Er... Phwoar?

If you're interested in the story of the destitute fruit pickers in California, listen to the song California Cottonfields by Merle Haggard. It's even quite a nice tune if you have to listen to Country & Western.

I suspect she was most likely killed by that volcanic eruption moments after the photo.

You're all wasying your time, she's "on the isle of lesbos", if you know what I mean. It says so on the picture.

I think the OP's point is that we should care about good-looking women much more than people who aren't good looking - material I think Ben Stiller covered adequately in that film about models, but still, there is no harm in repeating it.

I think Kate Adie had this covered (at least I think it was her) in the famous article about journalists going in to report on the Balkan war with her article entitled "has anybody here been raped, and speak English ?"

Women: know your place !

Someones clearly got a job lot of purple baseball caps they neded to get shut of

'ad 'er.

Could we soon be arriving at a position on immigration similar to that of A level results, where only pretty, photogenic, middle class females (no overweight, spotty male ones wearing tracksuits, god forbid!), prepaed to hug each, other while jumping (photogenically) in the air are of any importance?

This is going to present a real problem with all these muslamics walking around wearing sacks. They've got their priorities all wrong

[i]The one in the middle is very pretty.[/i]

There's eight people in the pic, but yeh they're both alright. 🙂

I believe the idea is that the media will focus on muslamic men, playing on Rudolph Valentino / Omar Sharif sheik imagery, to keep the female voters happy and so further their liberal pro-immigration agenda.

I know, but I couldn't resist 🙂

Pheasants?

That was Ali G's immigration policy wasn't it?

I can see the OP's point. The woman is clearly beautiful. But, she is clearly not in a beautiful position. She is not only decent aesthetically, but she shows a strength of character which is just as beautiful - or something like that. Either way she's much more beautiful that the tangoed idiots we tend to get told are beautiful over here.

So I was nit picking knit picking when it was an ironic knit picking!

You shouldn't iron knitwear.

Whilst not necessarily the same (but vaguely related to this topic) I think there is a real problem in developing countries with intelligent, good looking individuals (mainly girls) moving overseas to marry into more developed cultures. Certainly back in the early 90's when I lived in Germany I was a aware of several blokes (lets say not so lucky with the girls) who somehow ended up married to gorgeous, clever and ambitious Polish and Russian ladies. I always though that this was in some ways going to ultimately slow down the socio-economic development of those Eastern Countries as the best bits of the gene pool were being removed with obvious consequences.

Guess in effect, it is just another side to the old adage "the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer."

Hang on a minute. You mean all those attractive Russian ladies who keep emailing me aren't actually dazzled by my charm, wit and good looks after all? 😥

Goddamit, I thought that was Angelina Jolie in the picture.

No, it really isn't. 😆 *puts on suit, picks up wad of Euros and heads to Greece*

Lesbos ... ya, Lesbos.

They've been trialling this approach with Romanian immigrants for some time.

A few of them pictured earlier today outside the hospital where they work as doctors and surgeons.....

Didn't Ali G already do this?

She is not only decent aesthetically, but she shows a strength of character which is just as beautiful - or something like that.

I don't see anything in the picture that is evidence of a strong character. Many images are used with the reliance on the viewer making an assumption, or many assumptions. The camera rarely needs to lie as people will project or fabricate whatever they fancy onto a photograph. Journalists are often well aware of this weakness.

😆
I don't understand this thread but it's making me 😆

Very disappointing to see no actual pics of Lesbos.

Lesbos, with nothing on.

Phwoar, dirty beaches.

Ive snorkelled in that Lesbos beach..

Was lovely

I've dived in Lesbos.

Looks like you're not the only one. Did you wear rubber?

I think it's Wayne Rooney.
