Not to worry. In about 10 years (or less) they will dispense with the airbrushing all the way and simply create what look they want from digitized “good point” on the celebrity’s form.

I think she looks better without photoshop.

At least it looks like she has some personality and isn’t some mannequin! At least she looks like she’s alive!

Partly, I’m seeing a picture taken by a photographer who didn’t take the time to properly pose or light his subject, and who didn’t give the hair and makeup people enough time to do their jobs either. I think that’s a lot of the weirdness in the shift, is that they don’t worry about the photo session itself so much because they can “fix it in post.”

That said, the left arm looks like one of those shooters of jungle vine that seems to grow 20 feet in one night. Quite bizarre.

I’ve been talking about this for a while:

Then someone turned around and photoshopped me!

Photoshop turns people into cartoons.

Paris Hilton had a nose job, so if you love her nose, you are really just enjoying the work of her plastic surgeon.

I think that woman is beautiful before the airbrushes. I think it is an insult to her and all women that they changed her appearance to what they feel is “better”. It is not better nor honest. I think plastic fake pictures should be illegal. No wonder women struggle with vanity in North America with all this bullshit going on.

But, but..they took away her lovely crow’s feet?!!! I can’t believe that I’m the only person who thinks crow’s feet are lovely and charming.

That is without a doubt the best farking that I’ve seen. It’s also the same picture. Check out the line from the wall meeting the floor. Same pattern in both.

The pattern in the fabric near her arm. Same pattern…

Since I haven’t heard that Faith objected, I assume that she doesn’t mind the fakery which makes me wonder how the ‘before’ picture came out…

What really rots is that all the hard-won personality in her face is just totally obliterated! Poof!

The only cult of personality allowed is the ‘Cult of Bush’…

In today’s over Xanax’ed, Ambien’ed, Lunesta’ed and Botox’ed populous, having a ‘personality’ is an invitation to free thinking and could lead someone to actually think about what is happening to this country rather than bouncing from ‘official statement’ and rumour like a hyperactive pinball… Such actions are to be avoided at all costs… When things get close to cognition the corporitocacy media brings out another side show to distract the sheeple…

Oh look: Michael Jackson, $400 haircuts, Paris Hilton, Al’s kid busted, White House ‘intelligence’ report… Oh, there’s Bin Laden… Illegal immigrants… Steam pipe explosions… Columbian plane crashes… Ooooo… Ahhhhhh…

Another good look at how reality is being manipulated in this Dove ad:
