Reminds me of Yasmine Blythe's arrest mugshot.

and this is what young girls and women are killing themselves for with bulimia, diets pills, anorexia etc something that is not even real  If they are going to do this they should have in small print somewhere that the image has been altered so that young girls know when they look at these pictures that it is not real. Yes I realise this is going on all the time my father was a photographer...

how sad that we have to chase what some tearm as beauty and cannot be happy with who we really are. I know that I am what I was made to be. Hubby never wants me to change and thinks I am beautiful just the way I am. So I am content with my lot in life.

Thanks Tom for posting the link....I heard about this several years ago....maybe 8-10 with a photo of Cindy Crawford's thighs and it was enlightening at the time because I had no idea this happened. It helped me realize even the supermodels can't reach the perfection that is now the standard....funny huh? Also, this year(I believe) Kate Winslet's cover shot for Maxium was altered without her knowledge and she was surprized and upset for the same reason that it gives young girls the wrong impression of attainable beauty(it made her appear much thinner then she was at the time)

Which brings me to the obligatory misogynist joke:
Why do women wear make-up and perfume?

Darth....very funny, if you are serious though make-up and perfume go back thousands of years or more. all the way from the egyptians(probably before) to the Native Americans and there were lots of different reasons inculding cerimonial and religious even just plain decoration If you are talking about today's make up etc......I don't see the comparison between putting on make-up and completly altering photos to and unrealistic point. Not even close.
BTW.....for those who don't know Misogynist means woman hater........hmmmmmm
could explain a lot Darth

Darth was just joking I'm sure.
btw you are forgetting that men used to use just as much makeup, expecially back in the Victorian Age!

even before that Tom. I know that perfume was used by both sexes in Europe for many centuries. People didn't bathe much back then so they put on perfume to hide the smell of not having bathed every day! Men did wear make up even earlier than the Victorian Age, some men were documented as having worn make up in the 1600's and 1700's.

Darth, Darth, Darth! you do like to torment
After going to the Sci fi con I got the impression that Sci Fi loving women don't wear makeup not one woman there did except for myself which I thought was ironic 'cause I hate the stuff! I only ever use mascara, eye shadow and lipstick. As to why I wear it? mostly because I've been brainwashed into believing that it makes me look a little better to do so I never use perfume unless the man I'm dating has a particular fav then I'll wear it for him. At best Makeup disguises but it does not alter anything. Makeup can be used by anyone to achieve anything they want unlike air brushing or digitally altering something beyond something that is humanly possible without intervention like surgery and passing it off as being normal. When you start to play with reality that way then you are setting unachievable levels and expectations and that is when you get young women and teenagers trying to kill themselves trying to look like that, if only they knew the truth, I think it would go a long way to reducing this problem.
