Photo-retouching -- before & after

[neea]

I agree though...it's sickening what how this is distorting people's perceptions...especially young girls. These before and after demonstrations should be required viewing in schools.

I COMPLETLEY agree!!!!!
I had a brief brainstorm idea yesterday while looking through all related videos on Your Tube that 'someone' should make a video and interview tons of teenage girls and include clips of these edited advertisements. And start showing it gymnasiums full of 13 year old girls.
Maybe then everyone will start to question the magazines they so faithfully read every month while they follow every 'tip' on how to be more beautiful and appealing to the opposite sex.

I have a LaSenza gift card sitting on my computer desk and I cant help but wonder how ultered the picture is on the front. And it stares at me everyday... all day :er:

Great thread, folks. Thanks for posting. I have 2 little girls (5 & 6 years old), so this is SOOOOOO relevant..

Here's another. I don't care for the 'plasticy' look...but the skills are amazing.
