LOL, have you seen this?

I would kind of enjoy walking around retouched like that.

I badly retouched some of my wedding pictures. I don't care. I look skinnier and awesome.

[loveday]

Da ferk. That looks weird.

While I don't think it's excellent, a lot of people pay to look like that. Like an anything's better than I look now. I personally get really jazzed when my teeth are whitened and lines are removed.

I always say, 'Don't make me look Botoxed'. lol

This one makes me sad though. I like her freckles!

I like to remove my zits with photoshop.

Why do they remove the freckles? That looks so weird. Freckles are cute, and they're, like, part of you, not like a blemish.

I've always wanted my pictures to look like the headshots in Toddlers and Tiaras. This is perfect!

Why the freckle hate on ALL of these pics? I prefer most of the "before" pictures. The man pictures freak me out!!

[gault]

The freckle woman is BEAUTIFUL and needs absolutely no retouching. Sheesh.

The freckles are removed because they're ugly, obviously.

I kid. I think they're removed because the whole face is given a coat of airbrush. It's one fell swoop. I watched the video and you upload a picture, adjust some points for eyes/mouth/face, and click when you're ready and it makes automatic adjustments based on what's considered beautiful (to the peeps that created it, obviously).

Sometimes I'll airbrush out a pimple, but holy God. These people are, like, changing the shape of peoples' faces and noses and stuff. Some of them don't even look like themselves!

This! They are recreating false memories in a sense. I can't imagine having these completely airbrushed/ touched up pics of myself an dhave people look at them 10/20/30 years from now and think "Wow- she looked great back then. What happened?".

Is #6 a woman or a drag queen?

On a related note, I now know how they filmed Twilight.

The freckles ones are bumming me out too. I have freckles just like the ones in the pic linked above and it never occurred to me that they should be seen as a flaw. My DD has the same freckles and I love them..I can't imagine her without them.
