The Resume

    (circa 1984- )
    Appears in Dove Campaign For Real Beauty 60-second viral video titled ‘Evolution'
    That campaign claims normal woman becomes supermodel
    Based in Toronto, Canada
    Appeared on ‘Entertainment Tonight' and ‘Inside Edition'

Why she might be annoying:

    Her fiancé, who worked for the advertising firm responsible for Dove's advertising campaign, acquired her the role.
    Despite hours of hair and makeup, she still ‘needed' to be airbrushed.
    Artists who PhotoShopped her retouched her eyes, visually smoothed out her skin, lengthened and narrowed her neck and lifted her brows to make her more visually appealing but artificial.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is not a professional model.
    She admitted she did not recognize herself when she saw her finished image.
    The video transformation from normal girl to supermodel became an Internet hit.
    In a matter of a few weeks, her video was viewed two million times and became a subject of multiple blogs and news stories.
    She put vanity aside and allowed herself to be videotaped without makeup.
    She helped illustrate how the media ideal has distorted society's idea of real beauty.
