The scariest women in the world (PHOTOS)

It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The person you see may look attractive or ugly, depending on your criteria for beauty.

But there are famous people who have problems with their appearance that are striking. This may be caused by unsuccessful plastic surgery or the whim of Mother Nature, who is sometimes very cruel to her children.

We present to you the rating, which includes the scariest girls in the world.

10. Joan Van Ark

This actress was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywoodthat adorned the movie screen in the eighties and early nineties of the 20th century. She played Valin Ewing in the famous American soap opera Dallas, and then it seems she brought her character's glamorous life into reality. The result is frighteningly unhealthy. Joan now has an unnatural complexion, puffy lips, a droopy nose, all compounded by heavy and gaudy makeup.

9. Tori Spelling

The daughter of producer Aaron Spelling and the star of the youth TV series Beverly Hills 90210 has made a career in Hollywood thanks to her own talents and the support of her father. However, several plastic surgeries were not in vain for Tori's appearance (and especially her breasts). She now looks like a character in the House of Wax.

8. Elaine Davidson

And this lady covered her body with 7000 piercing parts (total weight 3 kg), becoming the most pierced woman in the world. She is one of Edinburgh's landmarks, owns a scent shop and performs regularly on the Royal Mile. In 2011, she married Douglas Watson, who surprisingly doesn't get pierced.

An interesting fact is that, despite her hobby, Elaine has a black belt in judo, does not drink alcohol and does not use drugs.

7. Melanie Gaidos

This American model has a rare genetic disorder called ectodermal dysplasia. It prevents the development of teeth, nails, cartilage, hair follicles and bones. Because of this, the girl has no hair on her body and almost no teeth (with the exception of three milk teeth). As a child, she had to endure peer bullying, and this led to the fact that at the age of 16, Melanie fell into a deep depression.

However, she was able to do something that many adults fail - to look at life positively, and to fulfill her dream. In New York, the girl found photographers interested in working with non-standard-looking models. Since then, Gaidos has been a sought-after fashion model and actress and shows that there are many types of beauty, in addition to the stereotypical ones.

6. Whoopi Goldberg

The world's second African-American woman to win an Academy Award for acting is not particularly beautiful. Users joke that Whoopi's hair looks like a "tarantula has landed on her head." But her talent is so bright that the films with Goldberg are remembered for a long time.

As one of the fans of the actress writes: “She may be ugly, but she is very cute. She is also a very good actress. People sometimes do not understand that no one can choose their appearance in advance, otherwise the world would be boring. ".

5. Yulia Gnuse

Julia was born in 1959 and lived an ordinary life until she was thirty-five years old.One day, she discovered painful spots on the skin that began to turn into scars that disfigure the body. The doctors found out that Julia developed porphyria. This is an incredibly rare skin condition that can be inherited from a parent or just develop spontaneously. One of the most uncomfortable symptoms of her condition is her incredibly sensitive skin. Julia could not even go outside, otherwise huge blisters bursting in the light would appear on her body.

Fortunately, one of Gnuse's friends - a plastic surgeon - suggested tattooing as a way to "cover up" ugly scars. At the same time, tattoos do not protect the poor girl from the harmful rays of the sun, and the scars are very painful, and some of them are as serious as third-degree burns.

Currently, more than 95% of Yulia's body is covered with tattoos - including her face - and she is known as the most tattooed woman in the world or "Painted Lady". It took $ 80,000 to create the tattoo.

4. Maria Kristerna

The Mexican, also known as the "vampire woman", is by far one of the scariest girls on Earth. Her photo inspires not only fear, but also involuntary respect for a person who has spared neither money nor his own body in pursuit of an ideal (albeit incomprehensible to others).

It is known that Maria began to "transform" into a vampire tattooed from head to toe with extended fangs after an unsuccessful marriage. For many years she was a victim of domestic violence. Apparently, steel implants à la horn symbolize "strength", and tattoos show its "freedom".

3. Donatella Versace

Top 3 scariest women are opened by a photo of the sister of the late fashion designer Gianni Versace.

Her fashion brand is loved and popular with the Hollywood elite, but Donatella's appearance does not match the beauty of the things she creates. She disfigured her face with too many plastic surgeries, which, however, does not prevent the art director of the Versace empire from remaining one of the style icons.

2. Jocelyn Wildenstein

Jocelyn was once a pretty, but completely ordinary woman. Now the face of one of the scariest women on the planet in the photo resembles a lioness who has unsuccessfully performed plastic surgery. By the way, one of Jocelyn's nicknames is "Catwoman", and the other is "Bride of Wildenstein", by analogy with Bride of Frankenstein. Her name is often flashed in the tabloid press because of the numerous cosmetic surgeries, for which the billionaire spent about $ 3,933,800.

On the first operation, she, presumably, decided to return the attention of her husband - a passionate hunter Alec Wildenstein, who simply adored lions. However, she had no luck with the surgeons, and subsequent manipulations with her appearance further and further removed Jocelyn from the concept of "norm".

• She has done a facelift and an eyebrow lift, as well as a mid-facelift, but unsuccessfully due to collagen injections in the past.
• She implanted implants in the chin, cheekbones and cheeks (then removed from the chin).
• Raised the corners of the eyelids.
• I did blepharoplasty of the lower and upper eyelids.
• I have injected my lips multiple times to enlarge them.

All these efforts led only to the fact that a woman with such an unusual face was often invited to various talk shows. A dubious achievement for such an impressive amount.

1. Elizabeth Velazquez

The 28-year-old Austin, Texas resident is perhaps the scariest woman in the world. Lizzie's photo at first may even scare, however, having got acquainted with the story of her life, it remains only to be surprised at the courage and resilience of this lady.

The writer, blogger and motivational speaker has been diagnosed with the extremely rare Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects her face, muscle tone, brain, heart, eyes and bones, and prevents her body from storing fat, which is why Lizzie weighs only 29 kg.There are only three people in the world with this syndrome.

The girl's appearance was constantly the subject of ridicule and insults. In 2006, she discovered a mocking YouTube video about herself in which she was called "the scariest girl in the world."

“I was crushed. You can imagine how I felt. I was embarrassed, upset, hurt and angry - but then I read the comments. ", - said Velazquez in an interview. Some people who watched the video wrote that Lizzie should do the world a favor and put a gun to her head, others asked why her parents did not have an abortion. One person even suggested that people go blind looking at such an ugly woman.

But instead of letting thousands of negative commentators crush her, she turned the haters into motivators. She began to publish on the Web responses to offensive statements, describing her feelings from what she read and comprehending the intricacies of oratory.

“We are all on Earth for a reason. I realized that we all live in this world for some reason. Fortunately, I was able to take the positive path and turn my terrible situation into something much more enjoyable. ", - says Velasquez.

She has written an autobiographical book, The Story of the Ugliest Woman in the World Who Became the Happiest, became a motivational speaker and regularly participates in conferences where she teaches how to deal with social stereotypes.

In addition, the life of this amazing American woman served as the basis for the documentary "Braveheart: The Story of Lizzie Velazquez." In it, the girl talks about her illness and encourages people suffering from various diseases not to give up.

It doesn't matter that the world's scariest women are physically unattractive. The truth is, looks don't matter when it comes to their talents. Many participants in the rating became famous thanks to their own efforts, and by their example they show all the girls on Earth that appearance is not the main thing in life.
