Air Brushing Gone Wild

[Ts Laura]

some of you guys should get your own glamour photo done and see how a camera can pick up a flaw that isn't there in day to day life, also if you want to pick photo's apart for touchups, you should see the positions for the photo shoots, they are not the most comfortable nor most natural of positions, there done because the portray sexuality in the photo. you do a pose were your on your side and you move alot for the shoot, then roll over or stand up and take another photo, BIG RED SPOT on the skin that they didn't see when shooting but the shot was great, touch up time! the example of pamela anderson is a great one, another one that i hear so often is cameron diaz "spelling?" or even lucy liu, they are both considered naturaly sexy gg's but if you see them outside of the movies or photo's they have major FLAWS in there skin. as i stated if you look close at any photo on the net you can and will see were touch up was done. but like someone here said if they look "LIKE" the picture then whats the big deal? also lets not forget the makup for a photo shoot is ALOT different than the makeup you will meet the girl in. there was a story i read that was all but to funny, "porn in hdtv" the guy strongly stated that "the illusion of porn was totally ruined" not only could he see all the faults inthe girls but the makeup on them was horrid compared to regular low res tv. lol every time i see a playboy shoot i shake my head and put it down as i know there is not one girl in this world THAT perfect.

also i wanted to add to the topic of the airbrushing or photoshopping, if the need wasn't there to have guys turn and take notice you wouldn't have the need for plastic surgery in the world, no breast enhancements no nothing lol and the porn world / strippers / tgirls keep those guys in business and rich. i am a huge advocate on only doing what you yourself find attractive but lets face facts, we all have our own perception of what sexy is because of society.

People are fucking stupid. Like someone said nowadays they airbrush cheeseburgers in fucking Wendy's and Mcdonald's ads. If you see an ad that looks extremely airbrushed, then don't expect the best and be heartbroken. No One In the World will look exactly like their 400 dollar photoshoot in real life.

If some of ya'll are that worried about if the chick looks like that in real life...search for more pics of her on the net other than the usual 2 airbrushed Eros pics. No entertainer is gonna look like those pics.

I do understand some chicks look like monsters compared to their pics, but when you see a pic online don't observe it with your dick, use your eyes too.

Another point is that some girls (and guys for that matter) are naturally photogenic while others are not, yet when you see those girls in real life you may be stunned by their beauty. The camera loves soft, rounded curves and accentuates angles to the detriment of the model; camera angles and reflected light (often from several sources) may be used to lessen the effect, but airbrushing also helps. For that matter, the choice of lens and lighting effectively alter a person's appearance as well, as every lens has some degree of distortion and the way the light and shadows fall can greatly affect the result.

Like Allanah says, you can't retouch 100+ pics in a photo gallery shoot (or you'll spend way more on the photos than you should), but the purpose of a large photo gallery is quite different to that of a handful of glamour photos.

What I don't like is amateur retouching in Photoshop, where the retouching is too blatant. It should be subtle, not obvious.

Don't just use your eyes, use your brain. It's one thing for a woman (or anyone for that matter) to want to present themselves in what they feel is their best light(no pun intended), so it's more than acceptable, or even excused, if a woman's Eros picture has been doctored a bit to remove a blemish, lessen an acne scar, slightly soften a hard edge, etc. Where I might have a big problem is when (I've never experienced this personally) a woman has used Photoshop to narrow her waist line, or thin out her legs, et all. It's presenting a totally different person than expected. Now that's deceptive advertising !


Like I mentioned upstream, the women I've met and seen in person were just as beautiful, if not more, in person, than their Eros ad could ever convey. If soft lenses and/or airbrushing was utilized in any of their respective shots, it didn't stray very far from the original.

Calling all women "the devil" and saying that using make-up is "deception"... I'm not saying you are a mean, bitter guy, but you come across like that when say things of this nature.

LMAO...Goddamn you know your too old when you read something as silly as "Women are the devil" And think Im serious. Im not a misogynist. And I wasnt completely saying If a chick doesnt wear make-up and has imperfections you should hit the hills. Im just saying If a chick comes off as barbie with Make-up On and wow when she wipes it off (Not all of it), She looks like spawn on his period then thats too much. The same can be applied to air brushing if (Im just gonna cut and paste here) "a woman has used Photoshop to narrow her waist line, or thin out her legs, et all. Now that's deceptive advertising "

I still stand by my original statement;If a girl can't look great without 14 forms of make up Then somethings wrong.

"I do understand some chicks look like monsters compared to their pics, but when you see a pic online don't observe it with your dick, use your eyes too."
Man if your lookin at an Ad its clear your only thinkin with your dick because you want to get laid, Lets not make this some sort of Touchy Dr.Phil moment, Your about to have sex, Nothing more Nothing less.

[Overlord Abomination]

Natural beauties (Im sure some of these girls are wearing make up But it isnt as much as when theyre working, Doing photo shoots, Etc)













Bad







Bad with makeup

Now thats just the way I see it...The god and The bad of lots of make up. Most evident in Brittany spears.

I dont Think cameron Diaz Looks that bad without makeup, Shes not perfect,But she's still gorgeous.

something missing from those pics , some of those photos are not shot anytime around the same time. some of those pics are of shots form a year or even more in the past or after the photo shoots. people can change drastically over the time of a year or so . tans, weight, time of month , sleep and all that can drastically change your look one way or the other. me for example when i weigh more my face is softer and younger looking, the more weight i loose the harder my face becomes. some of those before / after photos not even photo shop could touch up lol. and spears has her times of looking good and looking bad.

I don't mind airbrushing if you don't really notice the airbrushing. What is bad is when you don't see any skin tone at all and it looks all washed out. Even worse is when they alter their body shape so much it looks cartoonish.

I remember seeing ts escorts ads in magazines about 10 years ago and some were so bad, they just took a picture of their face and cut it out and put in onto a gg body. It was so badly done it was extremely obvious.

LMAO...Goddamn you know your too old when you read something as silly as "Women are the devil" And think Im serious.

I'll give you the benefit of being "young and stupid", but in the future, if you are saying something in jest, it is usually accompanied by either some sort of "emoticon", or "LOL" or something of that nature so people KNOW what the hell you are talking about. I saw no indication of humor in your post anywhere.

If you would even read HALF the dumbshit, stupid things I've read here, it's totally believable that one would say your comments and mean it. (My guess is that you were probably, at least, somewhat serious and I called you on it and now you are backpedaling for damage control... BUT, I'll go ahead an take your word for it.)
