Selfie Frida Kahlo - Jackie Logan

 

"Ms. Small pointed out that Kahlo “carefully groomed her unibrow,” a defiant choice at a time when “many depilatory methods existed. That brow was meaningful because it didn’t conform to Hollywood beauty standards.”" 

Kahlo suffered from many diabilities through out her life. Because of this she never could fit he standards of beauty in the world. So she for nd a way to define in her own terms. Grooming her unibrow is something that would be frowned upon but she uses it a sign of beauty in her work. 

"Comfort with cross-dressing came early on. In a family portrait, by her father, the photographer Guillermo Kahlo, a teenage Kahlo wears a suit and parts and tucks her hair like a natty chap."

This is another way to show Kahlo was different from the standard. Especially for the time someone who portrays themselves like this is frowned upon. Frida embraced her differences openly and used it to her advantage.
