British Woman Has ‘Scientifically Perfect’ Looks
In 2012, Florence Colgate had been dubbed “Britain’s Most Beautiful Face,” and there was even science to back the claim up.
As the winner of a Britain-wide beauty contest sponsored by Lorraine Cosmetics, Colgate has mathematically perfect looks, according to statistics reported by the Daily Mail.

Not only was the then-18-year-old’s visage deemed perfectly symmetrical, but she is said to have the “optimum ratio” between her mouth, eyes, chin, and forehead.
For example, scientists say that in a perfectly proportioned face, the distance between the eyes would be 46 percent of the whole width of the face.
Colgate is said to have the almost perfect ratio of 44 percent. The distance between her mouth and eyes is also at 32.8 percent.
Colgate is also a blonde with blue eyes. And she beat out 8,000 others to win the ‘Most Beautiful Face’ title.
Carmen Lefèvre, a PhD student at the University of St. Andrews, weighed in on the other factors that contributed to the British beauty’s good looks, the International Business Times reports.
In particular, Lefèvre noted that Colgate’s “large eyes, high cheekbones, [and] full lips” are “classic signs of beauty.” They are also said to be signs of health, fertility, and good genes.
Colgate spoke about why she had decided to enter the contest. She said, “My friends and family said I was naturally beautiful and encouraged me to enter the competition so I thought I would give it a go. I was fine having my picture taken with no make up on as I am used to it. I never really wear a lot of make up. Women should not have to feel that they have to wear make up. I hope people will look at me and think they don’t need to wear lots of make up. You have to have quite a lot of confidence to enter a competition, so I guess I am confident.
She went on to say, “It felt amazing to win. My friends are really happy for me. I am very happy with the way I look. I would never have any plastic surgery or botox. My advice is for people to make sure they keep their skin really clean, drink lots of water and eat a healthy diet.”
The competition, called “Lorraine: Naked,” judged contestants without makeup, reports the IBT, and entrants who had undergone plastic surgery or chemical enhancements were not allowed to be a part of the contest.
Colgate was chosen as one of three finalists, and then decided as the winner by a public vote, according to Kent Online.

As the winner, Colgate was to be featured on billboards at Superdrug stores throughout England.
Colgate comes from a seaside town in Britain and was working at the Middle Street Fish Bar while attending school. The English rose had been enrolled in her final year at Dover Grammar School in Deal, Kent at the time she had won the contest, and was planning to study business management in the future, the Mail reported.
She was working Saturdays at the local fish and chip shop, but had said that she would love to have a career in modeling.
Already, the past number of years have seen parents, teachers, and specialists drifting away from the author’s work in an effort to avoid exposing children to the racism they demonstrate.
A Virginia school district spoke out about their decision to no longer emphasize Dr. Seuss as part of their curriculum just this week. And back in 2017, the then-First Lady Melania Trump drew criticism for gifting a collection of Dr. Seuss books to a library.
The build-up of these events likely contributed to Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company the protects the legacy of the author, making the decision to cease production of six of the author’s most controversial titles.
“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises wrote in their statement, “Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’s catalog represents and supports all communities and families.”
So far 6 books are going out of production and it is unclear if the enterprise plans on reviewing other works. Keep reading to find out what about these books has stirred up a negative response.
Here are the 6 Dr. Seuss books going out of production and why they’re considered offensive.
1. “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”

The book contributes to stereotypes of Asian people by portraying an Asian character, referred to only as “Chinaman”, wearing a conical hat, holding chopsticks, and eating from a bowl.
2. “If I Ran the Zoo”
Originally published: 1950, under the title “If I Got To The Zoo”
Two African men are shown barefoot, wearing grass skirts, with their hair tied above their heads. This perpetuates the inaccurate notion that African people are uncivilized.
A white male also says he is going to put a person of color wearing a turban on display in a zoo, which implies a dehumanization of people of color.
