Eye Candy of the Week- Alek Wek

Like my Facebook Blog, which I have often featured People which I find beautiful and unique, I am going to do a weekly Feature called Beauty of the Week- People From all over the world, Both Men and Women which I personally admire , whose beauty I never get tired of looking at.

This week to begin, I have chosen a women- who I have loved since I first saw her on the runways as a kid. This women have opened my eyes to what the word "beauty" means and lead me to find beauty in Men and Women of different colours and cultural background.

Eye Candy of the Week goes to Alek Wek- A Sudanese model who first appeared on the catwalks at the age of 18 in 1995, and loved by Some of the Biggest Designers of the world such as John Galliano, Donna Karan, Valentino.

What makes Miss Alek so beautiful and be the first person to be featured in this blog?

3 reasons:

• For showing us that Dark skin is the BEST canvas for virtually any colour of makeup or clothes- Not many other skin types or colours can wear orange or hotpink lipstick the way Alek does.
• For proving that feminity does not only lie within women who has long flowy hair and pale skin- that women can be bold yet look so elegant/regal/feminine.
• For teaching the world that models don't have to look angry inorder to be edgy and fierce.

The beauty of African women is that they can look feminine with a bold head and have beautiful dark skin to pull of virtually any given colour in the world.

Thanks Alek for teaching me and the world the beauty of women in your culture.

For those who do not understand this type of beauty yet, hope this entry helps you to look at beauty from a different perspective.
