13.12 In the Eye of the Beholder

  • Summary

  • They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and history proves it: blackened teeth, modified skull shapes, extended necks, lip plates, and piercings of various body parts. All of these have been considered the height of beauty, and women went to great lengths to achieve it. This week's episode gives the details. It is also time to vote on the topic of series 14!
