OH THE HORROR! Is this some sick joke? What have you done to these poor children?

Looking at the new additions here, it occurs to me another reason why these are so creepy - they seem to not only remove all character from the face, but they seem to remove all thought from the heads, too - “the lights are on but nobody’s home” is NOT a good look for anyone.

tell us about it.

tell us about it.

Cartooniverse, we have so many other Bush-bashing threads to play in, so let’s please keep these types of comments out of the non-political threads.

I think that of all the creepy photos on all the pages that have been linked to here, this one is the one that makes me want to go hide in a bomb shelter somewhere and not come out until all the retouchers have been nuked into eternity! Who the FUCK puts that kind of lipstick on a BABY?

WHAT THE FUCK??? THAT CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!!!

MY EYES!!!

From a website advertising photo retouching. The person involved seems to specialize in pageant photos, and says “I’m glad to answer any questions you have. Don’t hesitate to ask.”

My first and most important question is:

What in the name of God?!?!?!?!?! :eek:

I want to thank you for the nightmare I had last night of doll eyed children taking over the world only to be destroyed by being set on fire. :mad:

I decided to try a cat:

Before Kitty
Pageant Kitty
*Total Makeover Retouching

This Photo Enhancement Includes:

*Haute Couture feather accent hat added
*“Doll Eyes”
*Mouth replaced
*Lashes added
*Nail polish added
*Dark circles/stripes removed
*Nose reshaped
*Nose “pinkened”
*Totally increased fuckability

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

It doesn’t look like a photograph. It doesn’t look like a “painting”. It looks like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

This is my last post, I swear. You know how some people delude themselves about their natural talents? I, for example, once believed I was the next Joni Mitchell. I know better now.

I want to reach in and touch that hair. It doesn’t look real. Maybe it’s not. I don’t think this is America’s Next Top Model. That is some bad, bad hair/makeup.

Sometimes that pagent kid, she looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a pagent kid… she’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until she bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’.

I don’t get it. I mean, if they were making DOLLS of the kids, yeah, those would be pretty well done. But they don’t seem to be selling dolls, just weird photos that make the kids look like dolls…

At first I thought some of them WERE dolls-they look like the American Girls dolls, if they were all tarted up.

I know what this reminds me of! The plastic people who were taken over by the Nestene Consciousness in the new Doctor Who…

Seriously, do people really pay for the “touch-ups” this woman(monster) does? Do they really look at the angelic faces of their kid then look at her mangled photoshopped image and say “Aaaah, much better!”???
If so, I’d think Pageant Mommy belongs in the same rubber room as the Photoshop bandit.
