British Women and Beauty


Does anyone else notice particular traits in British women that make them especially attractive? I saw the results of a study once, and insofar as one can trust such things, it said that the UK is the country whose women have the largest natural breasts, just edging out the US. Also, there's the teeth. They are often attractively imperfect, like a bit of an overbite or rows that aren't perfectly straight, etc. I'm thinking of the beautiful Helen Baxendale, who has very nice breasts (as evidenced in this film), and imperfect teeth. But she still has a gorgeous smile. The super-cute Felicity Jones has an attractive overbite. Going back to the swinging sixties, when Brit fashion took over the world, I'm thinking of Pattie Boyd (wife of George Harrison and then Eric Clapton) who had very prominent front teeth. Of course these traits aren't restricted to the UK, but I think it's a cultural thing. If one sees it more in the UK it's because of different standards of beauty. An up and coming actress in Hollywood would almost certainly have dental work done unless her smile was a big part of her particular look. I just read a story about a Los Angeles cosmetic dentist who refused to do some minor work on a client because she said that the work would actually ruin what was unique and beautiful about that particular client's smile. Crooked teeth are seen as beautiful in Japan as well, and I also read that an overbite was an attractive trait in ancient Egypt. Thoughts?
