Distortion of Beauty

W led me to these following links which are pretty incredible and very thought provoking. We all know that there is some degree of airbrushing and Photoshop retouching to those super beautiful models with perfect figures and unbelievably smooth skin, but these show us just how far it can be taken. It makes you realise that no matter how much people strive for perfection, the perfect figure, spending far too much on beauty products and diet fads, you just simply can't compete with the magic of Photoshop.

wow - the differences are quite incredible! but I'd rather like the hair and makeup artists in my room each morning! I've just spent 2 years growing my hair and my mum came up at the weekend and said "I actually think you looked prettier before" how annoying is that? when I had it really short they never said it looked nice! On the subject of the hoover - I want one too, they're fab I could merrily trundle round the house on that!

What an eye opener - sod the beauty routine - I'm going to learn photoshop! Maybe I could even correct my knitting errors!
