That's how Chrissy was before that tragic night, and that's how she became afterwards.
Girl without a face
During a party with friends in March 1999, the girl was shot in the face, which blew off part of her skull where her eyes and nose were. Drunk guys were playing with a stolen gun, claiming it wasn't loaded. Chrissie tried to stop them and only remembers her last words: "Lower the gun before you kill someone." After that, a shot rang out that forever changed the life of a 16-year-old girl. The doctors didn't make any predictions.
Chrissie spent two months in a deep coma and, waking up, regretted that she was alive. In addition to the absence of eyes, nose and part of the skull, she experienced terrible pain from the fragments remaining in the brain, which the doctors could not remove. Chrissy still uses painkillers to this day. But she has a sense of life, and she is ready for anything to continue to live and enjoy it.
At a school for the blind, where Chrissy learned to read in braille, she met a guy she fell in love with. A year ago, their son was born. The existence of a young mother was overshadowed by only one thing - she cannot show her face to her native little man, and from birth, instead of affectionate mother's eyes, the baby sees only a black bandage.
And recently, doctors were able to help her by making a prosthetic face mask from realistic medical grade silicone. They restored the look of Chrissy's face from old photographs, painted it to match the color of human skin, and even applied makeup. The prosthesis is attached to the bones of the skull using extra strong screws and magnets. To restore the necessary parts of the skull, doctors used a bone from the patient's leg and transplanted the skin.
Despite the pain and horror that Chrissy went through after the injury, she says that if she had the opportunity to return to that tragic night and change what happened, she would not do it: “No, I have everything that I want. I would never want to lose it all!”

The husband of Ksenia Borodina answered Sobchak: “Are you forced to audit my pants?”
Approximately half of humanity at the words "wonderful girl" will instinctively imagine the most Beautiful face from ever seen. Sadly, the correctness of facial features plays a very important, not to say decisive role in the fate of a woman in the "male" world. An artistic protest against this state of affairs was a photo project by a Japanese artist Mitsuko Nagone: photos of girls... without a face.
This project is called I am more than my face"("I am more than my face"). Its author, a young artist Mitsuko Nagone, now lives in Tokyo and is a professional photographer. One of the main problems of Mitsuko Nagone's work is the search for a true person and his real "I". These searches are still going on (and, perhaps, will never end), but the photo artist is sure of one thing: a person's personality is not his face.
And with what ingenuity the heroines of the photo by Mitsuko Nagone hide their faces! Contemptuously turning away to the wall, timidly hiding behind desk hiding your head in paper bag(as befits a true anonymous), covering his face long hair(like in the cult Japanese movie "The Ring"). Photos of girls without a face amaze with paradox and courage; perhaps this is some kind of new Japanese view of the world. One way or another, the problem of finding a person has been solved by Japanese literature throughout the last century, from Akutagawa to Kenzaburo Oe and Kobo Abe.
However, isn't this what artists of all genres, times and peoples do? And the work of Mitsuko Nagone is also directly related to the topic and human rights: her pictures of girls without a face- a call to treat people (especially women) not the way they look; meet and see off according to the mind, and not according to clothes. Mitsuko Nagone herself, being a well-known photographer and participant in numerous exhibitions in different parts of light, also does not take pictures of his face. Do you share this idea (for example, by taking a picture
Khadija Khatoon, 21, has lived with her parents all her life and never went to school. The fact is that Khadija suffers from a terrible genetic disease called neurofibromatosis. Because of this disease, huge growths grew on the girl's face, completely covering her face, including her eyes and nose. But, despite this, Khadija says that she is "glad to live such a life."
Khadija Khatun lives in India and has lived her entire adult life "without a face". Khadijah doesn't even know if she has eyes or a nose, but instead of a mouth, she has a small incision on the left side of her face.
The 21-year-old girl is believed to have neurofibromatosis, a common name for a number of genetic diseases that cause swelling and growths that severely distort facial features.
Her father, 60-year-old father Rashid Mulla, and 50-year-old mother, Amina Bibi, realized that something was wrong with the child after she could not open her eyes for two months after giving birth, because she was born with very heavy eyelids, which made her look a little different than the other kids
"When she was two months old, I took her to the hospital where she spent six months, but the doctors said that she would have to go through many more studies and tests, and after 18 months they said they could not do anything about it," Rashid said
Because the doctors said that they were unable to do anything, we never returned to them again," Amina said.
Khadija's condition deteriorated rapidly and she developed extra skin on her face that continued to grow uncontrollably.
Despite her illness and all the hardships, Khadija says she is happy to live her life
"This path fell out to me and I accept it with reconciliation"
"I do everything in my power. And if I can't do anything about it, then I just have to live with it"
"I don't have any friends, but I have my family. My family are my only friends and I love them very much. My parents are my world. I never talk to strangers"
Khadija never went to school and learned everything she knows from her two brothers and three sisters who are already married and left home
Khadija says she doesn't want surgery to remove her growths because doctors said she could die
"When I leave for work, she sits in front of the house on a chair. If she wants to go for a walk, her mother takes her. She likes to drink tea and play with other children," said Rashid
Khadija needs money for re-examinations to find out if there is any tumor on the girl’s face, and if there is, then she will need an urgent operation to remove it
Khadija's family is poor and earns little money, so they rely on financial assistance governments
Also, a company was created on the Internet to raise funds for the treatment of Khadija, but it is difficult to call it successful, since at the moment only 3.4 thousand have been raised out of the necessary £ 10,000.
In life, girls look completely different than on Instagram and Facebook. In fact, they have a lot more characteristics than can be seen in the photo: acne, double chins, fat asses, skinny asses, short necks, narrow foreheads, wide ankles, short fingers or small eyes, bad hair and, of course, all types of unfortunate breasts. . We've put together an illustrated guide to the typical ways girls cheat. different ages. Now, looking at a photograph of another languid rokovukha, our readers will be able to understand what kind of defect it hides. Warning: Women are not what they seem!
Face: I'm so cosmic! (From 5 to 35)
1. Girls who open their mouths in surprise or languidly open their mouths. To them they seduce and hint unambiguously. And of course, they hide the fact that they have round cheeks and a strawberry face.
2. Girls smoke or hold a cigarette in their hand. By this they tell you that they are vicious, aloof and spitting on your miserable opinion. In addition, the cigarette serves as a reason to make a duckface and not be considered mentally retarded. The face, shot through cigarette smoke, gives the girl a coveted witchy mystery.
3. Pictures taken while eating or drinking through the tube they legitimize the same duckface and retracted cheeks and indicate the missing cheekbones. Although the faces still look like chicken butts, only with tubes stuck in them.
4. Defocus turns the girl into an ephemeral inaccessible creature. An obscure, blurry appearance, a phantom girl.
5. Stretched neck and tilted head testify to a quivering nature, a second chin, venus rings and an unsuccessful oval of the face.
6. Sacred overexposure, one of the main salvations of pimples, easily turns any collective farmer into a radiant goddess.
7. Hair covering the upper part of the face, hand, covering the bottom, a flirty facepalm or a cap shifted down the visor show that this deceitful negligence is carefully calibrated. Perhaps the girl has a narrow forehead, a sloping chin, or an oversized nose.
8. Half of the face in the picture means an inescapable longing for the lack of facial symmetry. Be sure - you were shown the better half, the one on which the eye is larger, and the eyebrow is higher, and the ear is less protruding.
9. Being photographed in profile with a raised chin and raised eyebrows in surprise, the girl hopes for the comment "Nefertiti!". God forbid someone take a picture of her lowering her head and showing the world a second, or even a third chin - you will be burned in hell.
10. Photo without makeup in contrasting morning light revives corpses. At the same time, the girls try to make the facial expression dreamy and childish. People should know how defenseless you are. Sometimes. Alone with yourself and your camera.
11. Squint and three-quarter turn corrects bulging eyes and an unsatisfactory thick nose. If at the same time you still look into the distance with a supposedly absent-minded look, the success of the photo is guaranteed.
12. Look from under your brows makes any dangerous thing, removes the low forehead, square face and heavy chin and gives the eyes the desired expressiveness.
13. Selfie produced on outstretched hand above, sharpen the features and dramatically outline the oval of the face. Selfie from below with hair in the lens will create the effect of a cute gentle creature and compensate for the lack of hair.
Body: butt bending guitar
1. Even young people have ugly breasts. Sometimes boobs are not just dull, but also vary in size. Ways to fix it: show a piece of the chest in the neckline of the dress, where it is guaranteed to look firm and perky, or press on the chest, which will make it appear rounded.
2. Collarbones are the dream of all modern girls. They create a neckline and seamlessly distract from the lack of breasts. You can lean forward with your shoulder (or both) or lift one shoulder, combining this gesture with a look from under your brows.
3. Danger: fat hand. A thick hand, like a nightmare, haunts any girl - everyone has it, even the thinnest. It appears if the shoulder is adjacent to the body. Therefore, it is better to throw your hand behind your head or take it back.
4. Chiffon rags and translucent draperies hide the figure of any novice druid with the beginnings of cellulite or short legs.
5. Thick ankles make it difficult to create a full-fledged sexy dramatic bow. The unfortunate owners remove them from the frame with any possible way: hide under the maxi, crop the frame, put on high boots, tuck your legs under you.
6. Girls know what magic curve creates an illusion the waist that never appeared, makes a sad chest cheerful, and flat ass protruding.
7. Taking off my own feet girls either lift them up higher, or manage to turn the body so that the most advantageous view of the thigh gets into the frame. As a result, instead of a carrot from the photo, a young gymnast is looking at you.
Face: your eyelids are asking for a scalpel (for older girls)
1. A towel is wound around the head, creating the effect of a circular lift. Hanging nasolabial folds disappear, the slit of the eyes lengthens, eyebrows arrogantly creep up, raising the lowered upper eyelids. And of course, saving glasses for half a face, if the day didn’t work out at all and the eyes lost their shine.
2. Putting on an eye mask(preferably lace) to give yourself a special mystery, so necessary when you already have something to hide. In addition, the mask will hide all skin defects, wrinkles and just a tired face. The heavily exploited image of a femme fatale goes out of fashion, so they rarely do it: rather, in order to put a photo on a userpic.
4. Hiding part of the face behind the one with whom they are photographed, imitating some shyness and playfulness. From one eye and half of the nose, it is difficult to judge how much the face has changed over the past couple of years, despite the annual detoxes, cosmetologists and spiritual practices.
5. Unnaturally wide smile or supposedly cheerfully carefree laugh, in the whole mouth cherished by an expensive dentist, convincing others that life is a success and will continue to succeed.
6. So main girl friends, two seamlessly working ways to improve yourself: a friend who is much older than you and a friend who is much scarier than you.
