Photoshop and a great operator can greatly improve your career, even when you are already old and wrinkled. Hotness is no longer in the eye of the beholder, but based on the right image manipulation.

The girl (I’m trying to be polite, she looks mature!) in the “before” picture looks like having a bit more than the average mileage… She is rather bony, I like girls more, erh…, voluptuous, let’s say.
Said that, I still find her _hot_, her eyes have this “i don’t know what”… But, media tells us to like the photoshopped version.
Some years ago I saw an whiskey ad with the picture of a beautiful model, the image captivated me. A month later I had a surprise, a friend of mine introduced me to the model, she was a nice looking girl (and _very_ beautiful), but not as impressive as the picture in the ad. But, again, these are the images we are supposed to consume, use and enjoy.
@Leonardo: The problem is, that our minds are fooled by ads and photoshopping like that - and expect reality to be like that.
But we all don’t look like retouched supermodels … never, ever … even supermodels don’t look like they are expected to look like …
Yes, you’re right…
I’m thinking on photoshopping a picture of mine and pasting into the other picture. Maybe my photoshopped alter-ego can start his own photoshopped family!
@Leonardo: Well, creating an artificial self can either be a great way to express your creativity - or simply a huge waste of time! 
Well, I think that Schrödinger’s cat would advice that is both “a great way to express your creativity AND simply a huge waste of time!” (like the cat, is both dead AND alive!)
@Leonardo: Quantum-Celebrities and Photoshop in one topic is way over my head.
No fakes and no insults please. Thanks!
