After her makeover, we see that people treat her better, that her life becomes more fulfilling, and that she comes closer to realizing who she actually is. But this lesson doesn\u2019t exactly hold water in real life, and adds to the already overwhelming societal pressure to look and be a certain way. But the ugly-to-pretty girl story can also teach us about the link between inner and outer beauty, and how confidence in one can lead to confidence in the other. And that transformation doesn\u2019t have to happen from the outside in.<\/p>\n<p>If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and support us:<br \/>\nJoin our Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/thetake<br \/>\nFollow our TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thisisthetake<br \/>\nTwitter: http:\/\/twitter.com\/ThisIsTheTake<br \/>\nWebsite: https:\/\/the-take.com\/<\/p>\n<p>We are The Take (formerly ScreenPrism).<\/p>\n<p>00:00 How Ugly Pretty girl stories became pass\u00e9<br \/>\n01:36 The clich\u00e9d makeover scene<br \/>\n05:30 Masterclass<br \/>\n06:41 From sexless to sexy<br \/>\n09:58 Beauty from the inside (not the outside)<br \/>\n13:33 Today&#8217;s ugly-pretty fashion trends<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go to http:\/\/masterclass.com\/thetake to buy one annual membership and get one free.
