My favorite ANTM judge

Twiggy is beautiful, articulate and extremely well-poised, not to mention 60 years old. You wouldn't think so if you saw the her UK ad for Olay Definity. In fact, here's that image.

Did you recognize her at first glance? I sure didn't, I actually had to see her name in the bottom left corner to know who I was looking at. And this is what she looks like when not under the influence of photoshop.

Honestly, if I can age this beautifully and still have hair like that when I'm her age I'll be ecstatic. Twiggy is in the same boat as Julie Andrews and Meryl Streep of women who have aged gracefully.

I know I wrote about photoshopping earlier this summer, so I won't regurgitate that post. It's just frustrating to see images like those ads. Shouldn't they have something at the bottom that says *photo illustration*. It's certainly not within the bounds of ethical journalism (yes, ads are certainly forms of journalism) to distribute images without accurately giving credit to what people are seeing is not only wrong, but unethical. Seriously, go read your stylebook.

And so many people think that tabloids posting unphotoshopped images of what these people really look like is an invasion of privacy. Now, I'm not defending tabloids, but sit down and really look at the situation. Yes, everyone wants to look better and if you had the chance you would probably want to photoshop yourself. But is that really ture? Think for a minute and look at how many pictures of you there are on Facebook and then see how many of them are photoshopped. I'm not guessing very many. So, why is photoshopping such an accepted norm? Give it some thought and please leave your opinion.
