    2. If you're looking for a 'long-haul" beauty remember: 30 years later the same National Geographic woman's face looked like an old piece of cowhide that had been tenderized by being beaten by a sack full of nickels.

    3. It's possible that she was beaten with a sack of nickels, wasn't she from Afghanistan or one of the other "stans"?

  3. The original Nat Geo girl was 11 or 12 at the time of the photo when she and her family were in a refugee camp. Twenty or so years later the photographer was able to track her down some place in the wilds of the stands. She had no knowledge of the photo. Her resemblance to this photo is remarkable but she had the most haunting green eyes not blue. Story was in a Nat Geo a few years back
