no wonder...

No wonder we have such a distorted perception of what is beautiful...

1. Go to http://www.iwanexstudio.com/.
2. Click on portfolio.
3. Pick a celebrity picture from the thumbnails.
4. Mouse over to see what the the photo looked like when it was taken. Mouse out to see what the final photoshoped version (that was printed in a magazine) looked like.
5. Click on the picture to make it go away & pick another one.
6. Repeat until fully disgusted with print media and how it distorts our perceptions.

Feel free to pass it on.

Really, what struck me was about half the women they made skinnier, and the other half they made fatter because they had the sickly anorexia thing going on. And no wonder everyone looks like they have boob jobs in magazines; they give them to them after the photo.

Interestingly, Cate Blanchette looked more beautiful before the photoshopping. Most everyone else clearly could use less stress and a healthier diet.
