Hamster beauty has changed a lot over the past 100 years. Well, not really, but it's always fun to watch a hamster's cheeks puff up with each carrot bite.

In a parody of Cut Video's 100 Years of Beauty series, our stunning model Joy demonstrates how trends have changed for our little furry friends through the decades in this engrossing time-lapse with the help of our talented hair and makeup team.

Joy is represented by Westchester Rescued Hamster Haven, that finds homes for unwanted hamsters. If you're thinking of welcoming an exceptionally beautiful hamster into your home, see if you can adopt a hamster in your area instead of going to the pet store -- hamster rescue is actually a thing.

Then be sure to take a lot of pictures of your extremely photogenic new friend.
