Monday, October 26, 2009 12:20:06 PM We are made to believe to perceive cover girls as enviously perfect, on one hand we are easily deceived by the uglier facade showed in the "before Photoshop". The lesson here is: Print aesthetics is incomparable with the imperfect real world, real bodies and real faces we have. Photograph technology has a lot to offer, in presenting an ideal figure for us to admire or envy. Now a simple touch of electronic magic is all we need to appear eternally young and beautiful. Or it can destroy originality and caricature personalities. We must have discerning eye to view things around us and judge them just not as how they appear but judge them according to their societal value.http://kayacamilla.com http://kayacamilla.com

Sunday, June 17, 2007 8:11:17 PM Fairly interesting, though it doesn't matter to me personally how much they brush up these photos. Digitally enhanced breasts for everyone, I say. |

Saturday, February 17, 2007 11:28:45 AM "I'll show you a fu.cking woman in the kitchen! I'll stick you in a God Damn pot and brew you! Women don't BELONG in the kitchen...Fu.ck...if it weren't for women...you wouldn't be alive you self-conceited little bast.erd!!! Your mother did not raise you to be a sexist little bast.erd!!"I think sombody is angry. Possibly. "Women belong in the kitchen" is basically saying "Women are better at cooking". Just see it in a different way and it almost becomes a compliment. One thing is certain, and that is the fact I do not belong in the kitchen. Unless you want food Poisioning. Anyway, if people want to waste all their money on stuff to make them look "good" then let them. It's their money. The silly people. |

Wednesday, December 21, 2005 7:05:57 PM I thought the before pic looked nicer than the after pic. As for what Akajune said, I guess not showing your marital status and sexual preference shows you're ashamed of both of them. This shows in how you're putting down the gay community! |

They are just creating an image that we already want to see. "The media does influence our stnadards of beauty. The people of Fiji were for the most part very overweight, and felt fine about themselves. After the television started being used on a large scale in Fiji, more and moreof the population developed eating disorders, depression, and a low self-esteem. |

Sunday, December 18, 2005 9:18:52 PM ha, i have a freind models, and to be honest with you, she is actually not that good looking. Yes she is skinney and perfect, but just not hot. She has photoshoped pictures of her and she looks incredible! (she remindes me of the fanta girls) it really is amazing what they can do with computers. Also i do believe that the before picture was photoshoped to make her teeth and cheeks worse than they actually are. |

Sunday, December 18, 2005 8:55:12 PM The before is maybe extreme. I work in a photo shop and a lot of people's snapshots look like that. Model shots are usually better. But... women of all ages tend to *hate* how they look in photos because the photos look like that girl's before shot. And we expect to look like Cosmo covers. That girl was pretty, even in that ugly shirt with yellow teeth. |

Sunday, December 18, 2005 8:06:43 AM Meh, they pretend like the media is forcing people to find these touched up images attractive. They are just creating an image that we already want to see. I hate to say it but anyone who says that appearances don’t matter is either lying or in denial. A persons’ appearance is their most prominent feature. Most of the people who you will ever talk to will have seen you first and get to know you second. If I see someone who is really overweight with unkempt hair, neglected skin and teeth, and sloppy clothes I will assume that that person has little discipline or self-esteem and nothing to offer me as a partner in either business or romance. Besides, being mindful of your looks can be healthy. Particularly in the US, where we have an ungodly rate of child obesity. Maybe if children see adoration towards people who stay fit they won’t let themselves turn into goo by the time they hit thirteen. |
