SCIENCE WORLD: Seven Women You Won’t Believe Actually Exist.
(1) SHARP TEETH WOMEN
Beauty most certainly is in the eyes of the beholder, so we won't
argue that certain cultures take beauty to all kinds of different
extremes. In Indonesia, the Mentawai tribe believe that sharp,
dagger-like teeth are the epitome of sexy. As soon as the women of
this tribe hit adulthood, they undergo a rigorous dental process to
file and sharpen their teeth. It's hard to believe that these women
actually exist. After all, in our world 'beauty' means a pearly white
smile with perfectly straight teeth. It's no secret that americans
dish out millions if dollars each year on dental implants, veneers and
teeth whitening to ensure their teeth are healthy and fresh. In fact,
most people opt for dental crowns or head to an orthodontist for
braces in order to get rid of pointy, uneven teeth. Who knows, maybe
the Mentawai dental trend will catch on in North America.
(2) HUGE LEGS – Mandy Sellars
When Mandy was born, her own mother was not permitted to see her baby
for around two weeks because the doctors were convinced that there was
something wrong, but they couldn't work out what. However, as the baby
grew up to a toddler, and a toddler grew up into a child, it soon
became clear that there was something incredibly wrong.
Mandy's legs kept on growing. In fact, her legs have not stopped
growing since the day that she was born. Her legs are now three times
the normal size proportionally, and her left leg alone weighs around
seventeen stone.
(3) GRACE McDANIELS
This woman visits us from the past. Grace was born at 1888 in Iowa and
was diagnosed with the Sturge-Weber syndrome. This basically means
that Grace's face looks like a mule, with a large birthmark on her
forehead and mouth slowly mishaping Grace joined a travelling circus
owned by a guy named Harry Lewiston where she performed as a "Freak
Show". She disliked the name but grew fond of the attention at some
point and the paycheck was incredible.
Grace's friends described her as charming, loving, funny and a great
mother to her son.
(4) MOST TATTOOED WOMAN – Julia Gnuse
Julia Gnuse was born in 1959 and lived a pretty ordinary life until
she was thirty five. At that point she started getting very
uncomfortable points on her skin which started to scar her in a very
ugly way. Trips after trips to the doctors, it was eventually
discovered that Julia had developed porphyria. Julia turned to her
friends, and one of them – a plastic surgeon – suggested that she
tried tattooing as a way to cover up the parts of her skin that she
did not like.
One tattoo on her leg was enough to get her hooked. Julia covered her
entire legs with tattoos, and then moved up to her arms, stomach, and
back.
Now over 95% of her body is covered in tattoos – including her face –
and she is known as The Illustrated Lady.
(5) WORLD's SMALLEST WOMAN – Jyoti Amge
Jyoti Amge is a truly unique woman. Born in 1993, she is coming up to
her twenty first birthday, and is hoping to celebrate it in Nagpur,
India, where she lives. Jyoti is only 62.8cm tall. That's 2ft. 0.6
inches. Jyoti was born with a medical growth anomaly called
achondroplasia. It is a type of dwarfism, but it is not very common.
At her present height, Jyoti has been declared to be the smallest
woman in the world, but in many ways, she has it easy. Many people who
have achondroplasia have problems with their spines, back pain, and
oversized skulls which put a lot of pressure on their necks. Jyoti, on
the other hand, is perfectly proportioned, meaning that she looks
quite literally like a typical person in miniature.
(6) STEROID MEN & WOMEN
Male athletes sometimes use anabolic steroids to enhance their body
mass and athletic performance, these steroid have a similar effect to
testosterone and cause increased protein content within cells, causing
the muscles to grow much bigger making them very common with
bodybuilders. Many people don't know but steroids are far more harmful
to females than they are to males. Ironically, steroid abuse by
females is not only dangerous, it's very unnecessary. Many women
around the world mistakenly believe that since men already have
greater testosterone levels, and are made larger and stronger with
anabolic steroids, that they need for themselves considerably more of
these drugs to achieve comparable results. However, since the muscle
size and strength does not increase in a manner directly proportionate
to the amount of masculine hormone within one's body, this theory is
downright false. In fact, studies have shown that ladies get
considerable anabolic benefit out of dosages that are only a small
portion of those needed by men. Thus, even females who detrimentally
decide to risk their health by consuming male hormones have no
business in taking them in huge quantities.
(7) BARBIE GIRLS
For some women, a Barbie doll is something they played with as a child
and didn't think much of it as they grew up. For other women, however,
Barbie is their role model. The tiny, plastic doll with completely
unrealistic body proportions has become what so many women now crave
to look like. Take Valeria Lukyanova for example, who constantly makes
the headlines with her strange, doll-like appearance. She has huge
blue eyes (contact lenses) and manages to contour her face to resemble
that of Barbie.
She also has a tiny, and somewhat unrealistic, figure which many
people don't believe can be healthy. In fact, her whole family look
like dolls and it is clear that some have even had plastic surgery to
achieve the look.
