I misunderstood the assignment.

"Oh there's your date for tonight"? "Oh there's your date for tonight"?!

You missed the part where he chose Paul Ryan for VP because he liked his abs. Not kidding.

Yikes, this isn't marketable enough to be a movie. Too grim. UNLESS, we can tweak it so there's a twist happy ending that explains that Nadya went quiet because she didn't want to ruin... THE RAD SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY SHE WAS PLANNING FOR EVERYONE!

Haircut or wig?

Back when I got my graduation portraits done, the photographer gave me this sort of a treatment. My mom was horrified and tore into her, and made her re-edit all of them. What my mom doesn't know is that I kept all the original edits, because edited me is a lot prettier.

Yep. A friend needed a side-by-side retouch jobbie for her portfolio and did me. I looked so unreal and beautiful and not at all like a zombified woman in her mid 30s who hasn't slept more than four hours together in two years. I kind of wanted to marry her after that.

My Mom got a tummy tuck a few years back, and the first surgeon she met with took pictures, then had someone professionally photoshop them to show her how she 'could' look....after thousands and thousands of dollars of surgery of course. I started crying when she showed me because of how inherently shitty it is for…

I like that—that sounds like a Good and Correct philosophy of photoshop. But of course it is, it's Tina Fey.

Lighting, especially. It comes in some forms that just don't flatter anyone.

Don't feel too bad. I have a photographer friend who I have modeled for in exchange for learning more about photography. I've really loved the photos. He doesn't do this much work on them, but man, my skin was flawless in them! I figure it's like playing dress up as a child. You get a nightgown from your mom and some…

I subscribe to the Tina Fey philosophy of photoshop, which is that there is nothing wrong with manipulating a photo to make it look like how you would look on your best-looking day, with every possible factor at its most advantageous (lighting, pose, angles, etc).

A friend did this to a photo of me once, right in front of me. He didn't ask first. It was interesting to see which of my features he thought were flaws. It was also interesting to see how self-conscious it made me of those same features. And by interesting I mean dispiriting.

seconded. i could do without all of fox's "it's sad" moralizing and pearl-clutching, though i don't know what i expected from them.

Awe, she looks like a happy little biscuit.

I don't mean like a fresh wound or incision (overwhelming compulsion to clarify), I just mean to generally keep things clean, like a scrape or what have you. Good luck with pug!

I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours...

White feminism, everybody!

Every time I see a video from the Twerk Team I am just in awe. HOW DO YOU LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR BODY LIKE THAT?!?! Compared to them it's a miracle I can walk down the street and not fall flat on my face. DAMN.
