(Some science of smiling, certainly not another "how to read (and fake) a smile" article)
“The “science of smiling” as such was initiated by Charles Darwin. He noticed that the cause, consequences and manifestations of smiling is universal whereas many other nonverbal of body language behaviors (like gestures or touch) differ between cultures and are therefore probably learnt. Babies born blind smile like sighted infants. We begin smiling at five weeks: babies learn that crying gets attention of adults but smiling keeps it.“

“If all else fails, use "significant at a p>0.05 level" and hope no one notices.”

This may be the truth but why is it ugly? I think the industry is what it ought to be. Imagine 100 pages of a beauty and fashion magazine only showcase average-looking women like those random girls you see every day on your way to the office, would you be more interested in that *beauty and fashion* magazine? Some critic but they may forget humans have fantasy and are inspired by ideal selves. Every now and then we enjoy unrealistic things. The publishers just offer the mainstream what the mainstream want. Consumers have freedom of choice.
Some blame the industry for manipulating standards of beauty for women. This may be but "standards" change over time and lots of factors rather than just beauty and fashion industry contribute to forming such standards. Do you think with his proposed "ideal proportions" of human body (easily seen in the statue of Venus de Milo) Leonardo was also manipulating the standards of beauty for women?
