No kidding. Sad thing is, I went to an established parlour with great reviews in my city :/

I wouldn't call mine a disaster, but the artist did slip a little bit, making one of the words in my tattoo pretty much unreadable.

I'm going into this movie with the understanding that it's going to be a castrated version of the original. That said, I still think it's going to be enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to it immensely.

Honestly, how self important do you have to be to think you deserve $1,000,000 for a week's worth of work?

They're not even in the same category. One was an excellent show and the other is Big Bang Theory.

This is a good idea. I feel more attractive when I wear sexy underwear. I imagine new moms wouldn't mind feeling more attractive when they're dealing with post-baby body, lactation and all of the other joys of postpartum.

It's probably because period sex feels fucking amazing. It's so sensitive in there, it's like a vagina massage.

You can't, and I imagine it's worse because you actually know how to use design programs well enough to reduce flab, etc. My rule of thumb is that I'll only remove things that are temporary, like acne, undereye circles, redness, etc. I wont make someone skinnier, I wont give them bigger boobs, I wont lighten/darken…

Thanks for the clarification, and I can see how my language may have been troubling. I imagine being in post-production you get your fair share of insane requests for editing that wouldn't give you a whole lot of faith in the industry as far as beauty standards go.

Yup, thanks. We may not value their opinions (our right), but they're entitled to have and voice them.

As someone who does my own post production, I'm in charge of every aspect of the image from start to finish. I have respect for my clients, and the assumption that I don't is offensive. You may feel differently about what constitutes 'beauty', whether it's real or manufactured in post, but my priority, my only…

Dogs have excellent intuition about people. If my dogs don't like someone, neither do I!

You have to make a conscious decision to make your photos look terrible. Point the external flash directly at your subject and watch the horrors happen.

And once again, the photos are cheap crap that any dickwad with a point-and-shoot and a moderately steady hand can achieve.

This is becoming ridiculous.

Good for Gretchen Wieners for calling him out on that.

Who doesn't want to look good? Often when you feel you look good, you feel more confident, which makes you feel better going into social situations. There's a lot tied up in your self image. It's not just petty narcissism, feeling good about yourself - and your appearance - is very important to a lot of people.

Full disclosure: I'm a photographer.

These babies have no identifying markers on them. How can anyone tell them apart?

Same problem here. I'm 5'8 and my mom is 5'1. Sadly, her wedding dress is among the most beautiful I've ever seen and there's zero chance I'll ever be able to wear it.
