Uggly Cuties

cute girls

I have a whole set of rules that make it easier for me to know what not to photograph. Most people can be crossed-off without further thought because they have committed some kind of unpardonable offense. Beyond the obvious sins like large logos and monogram handbags, Ugg boots – generally fake in Beijing – and puffy coats generally guarantee exclusion from these rarefied parts. Still, these two students from the Northeast had cuteness, which tends to get you somewhere in life.
