 Oh my good gravy, the Photoshop abuse! It's so horrifying, but I can't look away!
Man, and I thought the neutrally-emotioned 3d model rotation of Sunny Baudelaire ILM showed us at their Siggraph panel was slightly creepy! This blows it out of the water, and then it blows up the building where it landed, and then it blows up the remaining debris just to make sure. Of course, said model was pretty awesome, which took away from the creepiness factor. These are just wrong. I kind of want to make one of myself, just to see how freaky I can go. Maybe over Thanksgiving. Hey, can I start a Creepy Photoshop Self-Portrait Challenge? This needs to be mocked on a larger scale than I alone can create. Upon further reflection, YES. I'm going to start a Creepy Photoshop Self-Portrait Challenge! Please suggest any amusing acronyms that come to mind. I'll post the challenge in my LJ sometime this weekend!

I've seen that before, and it's still massively creepy. They take pictures of these adorable little kids, deaden their expressions into mindlessly placid ones, "remove blemishes" by smoothing the skin into plastic, replace any quirks of individuality, and turn them into horrifying, unreal dolls. Worse, they seem to be sexualizing the kids, with long eyelashes, lipstick, and the like. It's sickening. (And apparently made a significant impact on me--I wonder how it is for the children involved, to be told something like, "You're so cute! Except the real you isn't good enough, so we're going to fix that with a computer.")

Hmm...the site seems to be pretty big on "doll eyes." Maybe you could use that for an acronym. Digitally Omit Lively Looks; Exhibit Your External Sexiness? # posted by
