Celebrities Before and After Photoshop (This is just something which caught my attention after someone posted a link on Facebook)


REAL VS. FAKE: Photoshopped Celebrities, Before & After
Thanks to photoshop, the critical standard at which we judge beauty has become increasingly unrealistic.
This is an interesting topic when looking at representation of women in society. 


This can give you a feel of what it takes for a person to look beautiful. No wonder we, ordinary people, are left with a great deal of pressure to look our best at all times, a high goal that is impossible to reach. Impossible even for our God-like role-models.


These photoshopped images are mostly used in magazines and on advertising posters. It really is quite sad to see.. people being made skinner, taking away bits of them that make them who they are.


See for yourself..
