I just cannot get over the transformation on the eyes! But the head does not seem to be in proportion to the “smaller” body size. I guess the point is that glossy magazine pictures are not “real” people.

and as a result Ive become SUCH A CYNIC.
I swear unless someone is standing in front of me (and even then…) I dont believe it for a moment.

Mizfit – LOL. I think you are probably right. Even if they are in front of us, who knows how much tucking, stuffing, and make up is applied to the person prior to our meeting. Don’t the stars spend at least a few days in advance of the Oscar beautifying themselves just for those few minutes in front of the red carpet? I don’t believe that Hollywood women and men age naturally. I think they all “got some work done” even if they claimed otherwise. Thanks for commenting.

That’s cool how they can change someone in just a couple of minutes. But this video shows us why our perception of beauty is distorted!
Last year I posted something similar on my blog:
