When photography becomes a LIE!
| http://stuppid.com/beauty-ads-lie/
| And how do we know that "stuppid.com" is being honest? They say themselves that they're posting "stupid news". They're hosted on godaddy. (Home of the $2 website.) And the owner is secret. Not that I doubt the story in general. Looking at magazines it's obvious. When I bought Paint Shop Pro 16 it actually came with a program specifically designed for enhancing photos of women. I didn't install it. As I recall it required me to sign up and give them personal info. So I don't know exactly what the program could do. It appeared to specialize in reshaping faces. I was thinking about this issue last week when I saw a young woman on SNL who calls herself Iggy Azalea. A white Australian (?) rapper who seems to mostly sing about herself while moving around like a stripper. She was tall and thin, wearing some kind of tights. Her hips were so impossibly curvy for her build that I figured her tights must have been padded. It struck me as just so odd, that an attractive young, fit woman in her 20s thinks it's a good idea to pad her body, presumably because cartoon superheroes and retouched magazine photos have become the norm. |
