Not all of us can be supermodels. Some of us might have the looks but not the connections. Some people might have the right style but not the right height. Some people might be absolutely drop-dead gorgeous but not be able to walk a straight line in heels. I would classify myself as that last category, by the way. At least the second half of it, anyway.

However, Paulina is taking a stand against the idea that being pretty is a privilege in a dramatic new Instagram post.
"The difference? Privilege is an advantage, a benefit. Beauty may confer those on you, but is not one on its own. What you do with the advantages or disadvantages of beauty is up to you," she added.
"We all assume that’s always a blessing. What if you got a free Porsche for life, but live on an island with nothing but bike lanes? And have no idea how to drive? Is it still a gift?" she asked.
"Everyone can see you have it. It will make it easier to get into that crowded hip restaurant, but it will also be the reason for you getting mugged when you take the low-lit side door."
