This month’s Vogue has an article celebrating those of us with freckles. I had quite a few on my face when I was a child and I have to say, they never really bothered me and I certainly didn’t get any stick from the other kids in my class at school. It’s not always the case for most freckle face kids though. Even Julianne Moore, the actress, suffered as a child and apparently, Sarah Ferguson was only deemed attractive when a photograph was published which had been airbrushed, leaving her with a clear complexion. What a shame. I think freckles are really attractive and I’ve always felt that those that sported freckles always seemed to have a fun and sunny personality. At least those that I knew did. Freckles also hide a multitude of sins, so most of their owners have faces that are wrinkle and spot free, both now and as adolescents. So well done Vogue – here’s to more of this type of celebrationary article in mainstream publications.
