It’s just as much of a computer image as a real person.

I have always thought if you take an average to pretty woman, have a complete makeover and a professional photographer with the right light, she could be a supermodel.

When I was working a few jobs ago, I was talking to my counterpart who worked on a major talk show. A well know supermodel was going to be on (I won’t say who it was, but her name rhymes with Schmindy Schmawford). I asked, did you see her? Is she hot or what? He said he thought she was one of the stunt women when she walked in. Jeans, sweatshirt and baseball cap. After a couple of hours of hair, makeup and wardrobe she was turning heads. But she does not really look like that.

In the video posted, after the computer tweaking the lady’s face like that, I would not have guessed she was the same lady in the billboard. She looked more like a girl in line at a drugstore buying pimple cream.

gotta say, the beginning was "ordinary". Then, even after all the makeup, and the CGI, she was still not exactly "supermodel" material.

Oh well. For me, the supermodel era started with Cheryl Tiegs and ended with Elle MacPherson

That era does include Jill Goodacre, "Victoria's Secret Weapon" correct?

If you ask me, all she really needed was a shower and a smile....

A-bloody-men.

The Photoshop stuff was definitely...eye-opening. If you'll pardon the expression. I wonder what happens when that woman sees the billboard picture of herself...does she even *recognize* herself?

No wonder she's not smiling when she sits down at the makeup table.
