Srsly. I mean how many people with disabilities ever make the most beautiful people lists?

Leaving aside the weirdness of such lists and articles, and how much attention they do or don't get, every single person on that list, whatever their pigmentation, has a "perfect," non-disabled body. Which sends a message about what beauty is, and, more importantly, what it isn't.

(Yes, the photo montage I linked also lacks anyone fat (or even not really thin, except for pregnant Jessica Alba), and if I'm not mistaken, seriously underrepresents all the beautiful Asian people in the world, lacks anyone of First Nations ethnicity, and seriously underrepresents men. People has a depressingly narrow view of beauty.)
