makeovers

I discovered a site the other day that I couldn't stop looking at. It's this one. It features pictures of several glamorous and well-known stars. They look gorgeous and toned and perfect in every way........as long as you keep your cursor off them. As soon as you put it on ---aaaaaagh! (when you get to the site, click on portfolio, then click on the thumbnail of the star you want to laugh at :) ). That is the miracle of photoshop my friends. I knew they used photoshop to brush away the occasional zit or stray hair--but this is ridiculous. Mouse on Beyonce' and watch her calf muscle get suddenly huge. Mouse on Kelly Clarkson and she gains 15 pounds. Mouse on poor Britney Murphy and she looks like one of those "don't do drugs or you'll look like this" ads. Mouse on Halle Berry, and dang! she still looks perfect! Anyway, you must go check it out----but first finish reading this!



I was so inspired by all the before and after photoshop makeovers, that I decided to try out before and aftering stuff myself. First I did my big boys' room. They thought it was clean,



But I made it better:



Then I told all the boys to turn off the Insaniquarium game and go pick up the family room. This is them before I gave this command:




This is them after:



Because they were naughty and didn't obey me, they had to be my makeover guinea pigs.


First I did Ethan:





Wow! A little product can do wonders!





Next I took on Zane:



My husband must never, never see this photo. He doesn't care much for me putting makeup on his boys, but I say :"who else am I suppose to give glamorous makeovers to?"

This is Zane's friend Kody before:

And here he is after:

This makeover was a bit more abstract, but I felt it had that artsy, edgy feel to it. Poor Kody was probably sorely disappointed, and a little freaked out, that he chose to come over the day Zane's crazy mommy was giving weird makeovers--but he was a trooper.

Finally I took on my hardest subject of all. How do you improve on this?..........

Like this!:.................

Who doesn't look better in a Nacho Libre mask, right?

*I give full credit for this entire post to my friend "Chatty" (actually her name is Emily but I have one Emily to keep track of already, so Emily #2 gets the "Chatty" nickname). She did a similar post based on the photoshop site--but hers was funnier. Go read it!
