Chin Deep Beauty
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
Below is a bizarre article where an anonymous “leading Hollywood director” who is obsessed with chins, comments on the best chins in the industry. He explains that without a lovely chin-line, the effect of all the other features is lost because the chin is the seat of character.

Though Irene Dunne’s nose and mouth are beautiful, it is her firm, yet feminine chin which makes her exceptionally attractive. |
 |
Claudette Colbert’s chin is not classic, but it is tops in piquancy. |
 |
Gail Patrick has the perfect chin for a tall girl. It is neither too weak or too firm. |
 |
Miriam Hopkins is noted because her chin has marked individuality and yet is beautiful. |
This chin-loving director then gives some advice on how to keep your chin line firm:
• Practice holding your head high at all times
• It is a good idea when you are alone, to exaggerate your chin-up attitude
• Even when reading, see to it that your head is not bent over in an unattractive manner
• Perfect posture is most important in having and keeping a good chin contour, an excellent way to achieve perfect posture is to stand with your back to the wall of a room and try to have every part of the body – head, shoulder, back, and legs – touch the wall surface
