OMG it's 2010!!

apologies for being away for so long,
time's flown by since my last post!!!

i'd like to bring attention to a Collage Contest that our local chapter
of Interior Health is sponsoring for

Eating Disorder Awareness Week
February 1 - 7, 2010


"What do YOU think the media could look like if...?"


Consider that most (if not ALL??!) photos containing models
in mainstream magazines have been altered in some way.

Can you spot the differences between the REAL Faith Hill and
the ALTERED version that was published ??



more importantly, were the alterations necessary?

would you still buy the magazine or covet the dress in the ads
if you saw page after page of the real Faith?
or the real Beyonce?
or the real . . . ANYONE??

SO!!!

Show the world what YOUR VISION of this would be !!

Fame!
Fortune!

and an opportunity to

BE THE CHANGE

await you!!!

  3. If I were covered in a mag for whatever reason and they airbrushed the crap out of me and made my eyes wider etc. I would be totally insulted. I heard that the Idol winner who got altered for some mag cover freaked out and had them retract it, and that there are big movements to get photo altering banned in europe right now. That would be brilliant. I might even start reading magazines again. Well, probably not, but it would still help get back alienated readers most likely.
