not that much retouching. i'm a photographer and that's basically how much i'd do.

Because they spent $10,000 on something stupid and now they have to try and legitimize it somehow.

"from a lovely woman in dim lighting to a lovely, flawlessly made-up woman" oh just shut up already

What if y'all give retouching like a three month break here on Jezebel? Maybe?

This one scared the shit out of 13 year-old me!

Not the house pictured here, but the slightly haunted red Victorian, YES! If only I lived in that area...

This is a great summary for what should have been done. I like Jez, I read it daily, but I do miss Anna Holmes. A lot.

Totally agreed on all of it.

Yeah, this is kind of just...I mean...wow.

Shit... if I don't share this story with like 500 people am I going to die now?

I'd say book deal versus blog post.

I dated a ghost in high school, but he was kind of a prude: he'd never touch me.

My general feeling is that if the homeowner claims that the house is haunted and there are strange noises/lights because of the ghosties, that's a red flag that the HVAC and electrical systems are fucked up.

Yes, it's the choice of Dunham that feels unsavory to me. Like, really? I get the photoshop of horrors and I usually like seeing them dismantle a lot of what we deem to be "attractive" or "sellable" retouching, especially of women. But of all the magazine photos I see daily where a well-known actress is rendered…

Give or take $50,000.

How does one differentiate between a "haunting" and a "slight haunting"?

This article was objective, informative, and well-written but Jez really does need to take a break from the whole topic and let it go. (Someone feel free to insert a Frozen let it go GIF here. I don't know how to do GIFs. Computer idiot here.)

If I hear the word "retouching" one more time over the course of the next 48 hours... I swear to god...

Oh no, they're tin cans and string all the way. Handcrafted Tim cans made by artisans in Gowanus.
