To look like a horse with cancer?

I'm watching Sex and the City and trying to understand why "Carrie" is so self confident and charming. I honestly think her face looks like a horse and she body looks like as if she has been having cancer for years. What does it tell us about the role model for women's bodies?

Her eyes are very beautiful at least when she wears makeup. Several people have complimented me for my eyes. Must try her way of wearing make up. I'm not longing to look as if I've got cancer because then I'm sure I'll get it. It must be possible to have some self confidence anyway. Somehow.
