Beauty comes in many forms. Britain's Viktoria Modesta, the first bionic pop star, has an amputated leg, and in its place is a glittering prosthetic. "Forget what you know about disability," is the message of the video, which we must watch to the end.
Victoria Modesta as a girl she dreamed of becoming a singer, actress or model. Because of her leg, which was injured when she was born, the door to the world of stardom was closed to her. After fifteen operations, she decided to amputate her leg to improve her mobility. She performed in front of billions of viewers at the 2012 Paralympics as the Snow Queen and the prosthetics flashed into thousands Swarovski crystals.
