People Whose Genetics Make Them Unique

Model With 40-Inch Long Legs

La Ostergren is a mom of two whose legs measure an astounding 40 inches. While she has learned to embrace her limbs, it hasn't always been easy. In today's pop culture, long legs are considered a part of beauty for most women, and most would do anything to have long, slender legs. But how about having 40-inch long legs? This Swedish female model has 40-inch long slender legs caused by an unusual genetic condition. Her legs, however, have enabled her to have a successful modeling career.

Scientifically, this condition is named heterochromia which results in different eye pigments. Hers is a sight to behold since very few people in the world are born with heterochromia plus red hair. You may have seen people putting on different colors of eye contacts to make them look more beautiful and unique, but this girl’s look is all-natural.
