Surgery for scars that were produced in terrible accidents disfiguring one's face is one thing to support, of course. But I would like to question this nowadays' panic on imperfect beauty. Why is that?
Aren't scars beautiful? the most magnificent prove that we are alive?
They tell untold stories, and there's nothing sexier than a man with a striking scar...

I have a nose scar that I got as a toddler when I fell while first learning to walk. A while ago someone asked me if I had gotten a nose job because they noticed the scar. First of all -- rude! Secondly, why would I go to a surgeon who'd leave a scar right across my nose!
I have one on my forehead, I ran into a tree when I was 4 and therefore have the best looking black-eye and eye patch birthday party pictures(when i turned 5). Well I have a huge collection of scars, but I love them all.
What eye candy, Joaquinn is divine and a vegan, and a uber-hottie. yumza!
I don't find scar beautiful but it does lead to stories. it could be plain old genetic thing or tragedy or fun stories we can laugh about.. stories are all good sad or happy. Making life more interesting..
singular scars and acne scars are completely different. an imperfection here and there is nothing- a face marked with divets from all the pimples they've had over the past decade is another story. i don't expect anyone who doesn't live with them every day- those who don't know how precious it is to be in daylight and not feel self-conscious- to understand at all. beautiful, it is not.
the -versace- pic is so amazing...=)
Joaquin Phoenix is gorgeous :) He'd be gorgeous no matter what. I loved him in Walk the Line. Scars show character and make you unique:)
I've got the hugest( if thats a word) crush on Mr. Phoenix...hehe
I love these photos -- I hate perfection, ecspecially when it comes to looks. A scar can add character, intrigue...even sexiness. Great post!
My boyfriend asked me recently about a scar on my temple. I've had it so long, I forgot it was there and replied, 'What scar?' (Gotten during chicken pox, before I can remember.)
Great Post! I wish there were more post like this in the fashion sphere.
There is great beauty in imperfection, and also so much personality.
Same goes for age telling wrinkles - a face without them is a life not lived...I would rather look at a person who has been and done than on one that hasn't or denies it.
YAY! I LOVE this post. So refreshing. I have 70 scars on my legs (yes, I've counted, lol) so to read this positive article has made my day :) Keep it up <3
great post. I Joaquin Phoenix's scar.
Ooh, I think scars can be quite sexy, esp on Joaquin Phoenix, hehe.
Ties toda la razón. a mí me encanta hacerme heridas, aunque no he conseguido ninguna cicatriz especialmente sexy.
Olivier para Nina Ricci homenajea a las cicatrices en su colección de este otoño, no?
