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! Yes, you’re right…

But we all don't look like retouched supermodels ... never, ever ... even supermodels don't look like they are expected to look like ... @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 …

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.
