Clean

"So, do you have to airbrush all of the models?"

"Yes"

"But that's going to make them look really fake!"

"Yes"

I watched on with child-like curiosity as the graphic artist completed his task of obliterating all of the model's natural imperfections. The sort of imperfections that make us normal people look human. The face had become something else now; the construct was ready to meet the rest of the world free of defects, free of prejudice, designer everything.

You don't want that face. You may find it appealing, you may go out and buy things to try to look that way (Photoshop is a good start), but believe me, you don't want that sort of perfection.

It looked too clean.

there was this particular photo of a singer in one issue of fhm, where the person in-charge of photoshop-ing the models/celebrities didn't quite do his job. either he forgot, or he hated the gurl. but man her legs were so hairy! i'm not so fond of the gurl, so me and my friends had a wonderful time laughing. hehe.

did they airbrush, dahlia? wow...i've always thought she never needed any. but i wouldn't mind being airbrushed. sharper nose, more luscious lips, more prominent cleavage. wahh...best lah. then tgk poster sendiri sorang2 and get turned on. ahahah...
