What ‘The Most Beautiful Girl In The World’ Looks Like Today

WHEN Thylane Blondeau was given the title of "most beautiful girl in the world" she was still just a little girl.

Child models have always been controversial in the fashion world, but when Blondeau participated in a Vogue photo shoot six years ago, it raised more than your average amount of public concern about the use of child models and the effects modeling on a young persons' development.

As for Blondeau, here's how — and what — she's doing now.

She was raised by French celebrities, football star Patrick Blondeau and French actress Véronika Loubry.

But some people wonder if the world of modeling is really where a young girl should be.

In many countries models must be at least 17 years old to walk the catwalk. This is because modeling is considered too risqué for children.

Modeling can be incredibly tough work and is a lot of pressure for even adults.

Models must focus on the way they look over all else. Is that healthy for a young child?

The 13,000 years old “Swimming Reindeer“ is one of the most beautiful pieces of Ice Age art

In 1866, the French engineer, Peccadeu de l’Isle discovered two pieces carved from the tip of a mammoth tusk inside a rock shelter near the village of Bruniquel, in the south of France. It was not until the early 20th century (1904) that Abbé Henri Breuil while visiting the British Museum, realized that the two pieces form a single sculpture which depicts a male and a female reindeer swimming closely one behind the other. The sculpture dates from the end of the last Ice Age and is thought to be at least 13,000 years old

The leading figure is a female reindeer with a small body and antlers closely followed by a larger male figure. Both animals are shown with their chins up, antlers back and legs at full stretch as if they are swimming. Experts believe that the figure was created in autumn when animals migrate because only during this season both male and female reindeer have full antlers and coats.

The piece was carved from the tip of a mammoth tusk using stone tools, and then polished and engraved to add detail.  photo credit

The sculpture is the result of four separate stone technologies. First, the tip of the tusk was chopped with a chopping tool

Then, the outlines of the animal were whittled with a stone knife and scraper. Next, powdered iron oxide, mixed with water, was used to polish off the entire piece which was later buffed with chamois leather. Finally, a stone engraving tool was used to incise the details carefully.

It is one of the most beautiful pieces of Ice Age art ever found and kept in a climate-controlled case due to its delicate nature.
