Organization makes disabled mannequins to show what real beauty is

Source - It's no secret that the smooth, plastic bodies staring out of store windows aren't true physical replicas of the people who stare back at them. But there's no reason they can't be.
Pro Infirmis, an organization for the disabled, created a series of mannequins based on real people with physical disabilities, working with individuals like Jasmine Rechsteiner, a Miss Handicap winner who has spine malformations, and Erwin Aljukić, an actor with brittle bone disease. The project's title? "Because Who Is Perfect? Get Closer."
The beautiful process was documented in a video (watch it above), capturing the joy of the models seeing their own unique figures recreated for the first time. But the best part of it all is that the mannequins were actually placed in store windows today, filling the shopfronts on Zurich's main downtown street, Bahnhofstrasse, in honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities today.
I will put the video at the bottom, not worth the watch. You can fast forward to the end to see the mannequins if you want. 
This shit is so annoying. Obviously you can be a good person if you are disabled. It doesn't mean you are appealing to the eye. Models are models for a reason. You're not for a reason. You're kinda gross. It's like fat people saying real beauty is on the inside. Nope, that would be cheeseburgers. Beauty is superficial. How am I supposed to tell how that pea coat would look on me when it's sitting on the hunchback of notre dame?
