			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What we desire isn&#8217;t even real?</h3>
<p>What we desire and aspire to look like has today turned into something that isn&#8217;t even real. Back in the days, the &#8216;super models&#8217; signified a beauty that still was given only a lucky few, but could still be reached through training, staying in shape and lots of make-up.</p>
<p>Today, as a result of digital modernisation what we look at, the celebrities and models on posters and in magazines aren&#8217;t even real. Photoshopped till the break of recognition, necks are elevated, mole erased, hair color and volume changed and skin smoothened to a silky clean surface.</p>
<h3>Photoshopped super models and celebrities &#8211; Before and After</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://bsph.com/jlbef-aft.jpg" alt="" width="462" height="280" /></p>
<p><strong>Cameron Diaz &#8211; Before</strong></p>

<p><strong>After</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/arts/beforeafterphotoshop15.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Before</strong></p>

<p><strong>After</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/arts/beforeafterphotoshop25.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>As you can see the beauty we grace in every magazine, poster, TV-commercial and newspaper has been altered. Yet another clear testament to our distorted view on beauty. But then again, now thanks to photoshop and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retouching" target="_blank">the art of retouching</a> &#8211; even I can be beautiful <img src='http://www.beautybythebeast.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
