Losing a Leg
Here is another model who has not let her physical deformity get the best of her. Meet Paola Antonini. She is a Brazilian model who had to have her legs cut off back in the years 2014. A drunk driver had crashed into the model’s car and had caused a severe accident. After the life-threatening accident, Antonini’s life was never going to be the same again. She lost her leg and since she was a model, what was she going to do? Was this going to end her career?
Working With A Prosthetic Leg
Well, on the contrary, Antonini’s career did not have a speed bump. She did not let this hinder her work and remained very focused. Antonini’s modeling career was not taking a halt at all and she was in fact still as busy as ever. Even with a prosthetic leg, the model had managed to take photographs beautifully and is still rocking the ramps as well. She remains very positive and her self-confidence is commendable. Her new prosthetic leg is a good example that proves this. It is gold in color.
