Growing up in Texas and Virginia, Lindsay Ess, now 29, was always one of the pretty girls. She went to Virginia Commonwealth University's well-regarded fashion program, did some modeling and started building a career in fashion, with an eye on producing fashion shows. Then she lost her hands and feet. (Judith Aronson )
