Beauty is a strange subject; your three divisions make sense but in my experience, the same people who objectify the beautiful despise the ugly, and the third category is no safe place to be... those who envy need you to be below their own standard, their own sense of worth/attractiveness/esteem, and that is often frighteningly low.
My face was a more natural colour on the home tv, but that was no improvement! One thing the show has taught me is that you appear as the cameraman sees, no more,no less. To one, I am the quirky comedy girl, another (my favourite!) likes, to quote him 'the intelligence of the [boot] persona,' to another am 'intriguing.' To this guy I am clearly modern gothic witch, and that's OK..people just project...but he should have warned me that he was going to turn me into Mystic Meg!
