Defining beauty is sometimes a rather challenging task, since the classic phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" seems to hold an incredible weight of truth. After I came across this photo of a martini inspired by the tragic BP oil spill, I had mixed feelings regarding its true beauty. At first, it seems as if it is a disrespectful "tribute" to the tragedy that glued Americans to their tv sets for months, but after researching its origins, all proceeds from the drink will go directly to Greater New Orleans Foundation's Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund. With this fact in mind, the image of this drink and the intentions behind it invest a great deal in true beauty after a unspeakable disaster.
