I saw this posted on Thick Threads Facebook Page today and it is something everyone needs to see. We all know that photos are airbrushed to death these days. Photos that young kids see as they grow up and believe is how people really look, how they should look. Photos that even us grownups see and while we know different we can’t help but think “I wish I could look like that”, knowing full well that most of what we’re looking at is not what these people really look like.
Most of the time these pictures are of celebrities, people we never actually see up close to know exactly how they look. We see them in pictures and we see them on camera where there may not be airbrushing, but where numerous make-up tricks are used to make them appear “perfect”. We don’t see them face to face to see the lines, wrinkles, pimples, cellulite etc., so our minds trick us into thinking that this is really how they look. Then what happens? We look at ourselves in the mirror and start picking out all the little flaws we see.
Go check out this website, click on the “toggle” button to see the before and after for each row. Look closely at each little change on each picture. It’s shocking. Even though we know they do it, to see each and every little detail they change is a real eye opener.

That's crazy...I was aware they airbrush the heck out of everything in magazines & stuff but to actually see before and after...it's nuts! They need to show those pictures in every teen girl magazine or something...so people can see how much they change in pictures.
