For my age I belong to the old generation. At one time I was also a teenager, and we were very little interested in the issue of external beauty. The girls of my time did not look handsome, as they do now, but we considered many to be beautiful. We saw the beauty of a girl’s face in its naturalness and did not think that it should be artificially decorated.
