I love sites like this.

It makes me realise that there's hope yet - even for me - for a career as a model.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I saw this site last few weeks. Hopefully, my photoshop skills can improve to that level. :? :?

It is no wonder that we have so many people with eating disorders trying to emulate the cover girls, when they themselves look nothing like their pictures. This type of work whilst flattering for the subject leads to unattainable expectations...
It is however very impressive work and the skill level is exceptional...

Truly disturbing. Imagine all of the women trying to obtain this look, and it isn't even possible! It's like a giant sham and the fashion industry just perpetuates it! Hot damn, it never really struck me until I saw this.

What's equally disturbing is that most of the men actually look fine without the PP. Billy Bob actually looks better without it. We love the way men age, character, mascluinity, wisdom, it all goes with the wrinkles and imperfections. Looking at the before and after of Darryl Hannah, I think that her before looks like a junky. That's not even fair as she's well into her late forties probably.

I did an in-depth study of the pp to Ashley Simpson...very interesting what happens to the left breast. If you click really fast you can actually make it jiggle. Okay that's enough from me.

Amazing stuff! But most of the women were fairly easy on the eye to begin with :) Pretty sad when the beautiful people aren't beautiful enough...

Now to check that jiggling out :lol:

How about the Nicole Ritchie shot where they have cut her in half and taken out twenty pounds . Also Jessica Biel who is gorgeous as is ( well, to the best of my knowledge anyways . Do'h ! ) , has had her butt slimmed down . FFS . I know this goes on all the time but they may as well just draw them up as a cartoon .

Why were some of the jewellery taken out? :?

Their photochop skills are quite good, I admire their skills.
