I remember there was a girl in our class named Tanya, who everyone teased as “Brezhneva” because of her thick, black eyebrows, which were not typical for Slavic appearance. It was fashionable to have thin eyebrows back then, so every self-respecting girl carried tweezers in her purse and discreetly plucked her eyebrows several times a day.
Years passed, fashion standards changed, and now Tanya is a famous model. Most of all, her expressive eyes and those same thick eyebrows helped her, which make her face non-standard and stand out from the crowd.
Today we will tell you about the slender beauty Holly Brutus, who by the age of 12 had reached 182 cm and was taller than not only all her peers, but also her teachers. Many of her classmates, who were 1-2 heads shorter than her at the time, constantly called her a “giraffe”, “Gulliver’s daughter” and “tree”.
Despite being in excellent athletic shape (10 years in football, 8 years in basketball!), she was excluded from the team because of… being too tall.
But instead of breaking down, Holly chose the path of strength. She moved to New York, a city where she could be herself.
“It’s easier to breathe here,” she says. “People are more accepting, kinder, and more accepting of individuality.”
Today, Holly is a successful model and student. She is only 20 years old, but she has already entered the Guinness Book of Records. The length of her legs is 125.7 cm! Her total height is over two meters. And she enjoys wearing high-soled shoes.
Holly doesn’t hold a grudge against those who offend her and isn’t afraid to stand out. She has turned her “peculiarity” into a calling card and an inspiration for others.
