How models look so "perfect"

[yendi]

My Swedish skills are no better than anyone else's (excluding people who speak Swedish of course, like this guy), but this page is still damned nifty. It's a flash-heavy site that shows the various touch-ups fashion magazines do to make their models look like they do.

I am just so impressed with that! I mean, they added a cup size, even fixed her shirt. Why do we even bother with human models anymore?

Hell, how do we know they're human? Have you actually seen, say, Brittany Murphy in person? She could be a construct.

Creepy. And I've felt dishonest about fixing blemishes. beh!
These people are monsters. Monsters, I tell you!!

Thank you for that. I've spent so much time trying to convince my best friend that models aren't any more perfect than she is.

Too bad it wasn't a swimsuit shot. She's convinced that celebrities and models don't have cellulite.

And the really stupid thing about it all? When I see that totally artifical blue glow in the covergirl's eyes, shining out from the ultra-smooth paintbrushed face... I automatically move on to the next mag, in search of somebody human!
