12 pairs of legs Part 2 Hello, my dear friend. Today I continue telling you about the video from TED called “12 pairs of legs” (I wrote the first part a few days ago). Aimee Mullins remembers the conference that was held at TED 11 years ago. She says that many people talked that the conference had a great influence on both speakers and attendees. For herself it was turned out the launch pad to the next 10 years of her life– the life full of wonderful explorations and amazing adventures. She also mentioned about the legs she used at that time. They were modeled after the hind leg of a cheetah and were groundbreaking in prosthetics at that period. Giving her speech at TED 11 years ago, she took advantage of the opportunity to call innovators to use their talent to build new artificial legs in which aesthetic and function will have the same value. A new page of Aimee’s life started when the editor of a magazine ID gave her a cover story. Aimee also had numerous performances around the world telling people about the cheetah legs. After she was told a lot of time by different people that she didn’t look like disabled, Aimee decided to explore the topic of beauty and the meaning of being disabled. Interestingly, that the magazine with the article about Aimee went to fashion designer Alexander McQueen and photographer Nick Knight who developed this conversation about beauty. Three months later Aimee had her first fashion shoot in London and three months after that she took part in runway show on a pair of hand-carved legs from solid ash. Nobody knew that those legs were artificial. They looked like wooden boots. And sure, it was a stunning piece of art with all these grapevines and magnolias. It was the case when poetry transformed the thing that might have scared people into something that make them to look at it longer and try to understand it better. Thank you to everybody who reads my post and special gratitude to my wonderful tutor Brett for his time and patience while correcting my mistakes.
