Artist's Comments

This anti-advertisement is meant to show the process used on models and celebrities. It's known as "hyperfemenization" and involves not only smoothing the skin with airbrushing, but manipulating the features to make the model "impossibly beautiful".

What does it do for a woman's self esteem, if the archetypal woman in modern society, is completely artificial?

It puts a lot of money in the pockets of plastic surgeons.

Done entirely in photoshop, with some background in psychology.

Beautifully done and a wondeful thought process behind it. You've made a great point with the piece, it's truly though-provoking. I like your brain =)

I think Natural Beauty is the the most perfect, and most gorgeous one can get. But your statement is 100% true. Most Makeup Artists are extrememly talented in those ways.

The peice itself is fantastic.

It's such a disaster to have perfect, society-approved computer-enhanced models on the covers of any magazines you pick up and what does it do to women around the world? Mar our self-esteems and shove dirt in our faces because we can't match up to that level. *sigh* Advertisement is only advertisement. >3< As long as people realize that they should be happy with what they were born with.

This brings a quote to mind by Maureen Dowd "We've become a nation of Frankensteins, and our monster is us. With everyone working so hard at altering their facades, we no longer have natural selection. We have unnatural selection."
