"gotta love photoshop too!"
Works both directions,too. Here they try to make them look as bad as possible without makeup.
I've met a few of Victoria Secret's women at publicity events in the mid-1990s. In person, Claudia Schiffer, and Frederique van der Wal were impossibly gorgeous.Claudia was 6'2" with heels. Frederique was sitting at a table in a Dillards(?) dept store. I was walking by, and pretending she was an employee, asked where the men's shoes section was. She laughed and pointed. Her accent and face would melt icebergs. Heidi Klum was butt ugly. Anne Kournakova had on 4 inches of caked makeup on, and all her hair pulled back tight in a bun. It was like they tried to make her look awful. There was a huge line of guys behind a rope in line for an autograph. Some arrogant large promotion lady was being elitist and rude to us trolls; apparently she thought she was more important, and we should bow down.
Flexing her power, she inquired;
"so boys (worthless scum), now that you see Anna in person, don't you just love how she looks?"
"Disappointed. She's not how I pictured her," I replied.
Praytell, why not? I love how she is made up. How DID you picture her?"
"I always pictured her naked."
She huffed off, to a roar from the crowd. Department Store Comedy Improv. Don't waste the opportunity.
