"The thing about a shark, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a DOLL'S eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... Until he BITES you, and those black eyes roll over white."

Ah I came across this photo er.. retoucher? (butcherer more like it) a while ago. It's increadible that people actually pay to have their children's photos worked over like that AND even more so that there are online baby beauty contests that accept photos like those.
Just one big WTF really. |

kinda agree in that what is the purpose of having a beauty contest if you can make the person look anyway they want? give me a couple of hours and i can make myslef look like the dude form prison break but what does it prove? and who the hell awards those photos ribbons when they have to know that no body actually has doll eyes. |

That's too funny. I can't believe people pay for someone to butcher their kid photos.

Well, I've seen parents actually make their own little girls look like plastic dolls for pageants, which is wrong on so many levels so this doesn't surprise me. In fact, my gf who has done a lot of retouching over the years gets requests every now and then from customers who want their photos of daughters made to look like plastic dolls and they would use those very words to describe the effect they want. She always turns those down.

Am I off to say as horrendous as all of these are... This One is even more horrendous to me because she actually made this girl more white! She could have enhanced her beautiful dark tones and instead went the way of pastiness.
Color corrected and skin blended. Sure. |

Almost 4 years ago, and she's still at it. Kudos to her for perseverance! :-D

edit: Is it just me, or did she actually get better at that? Maybe she should just be overpriced crazy retouch lady now.

I was just thinking the same thing, I think she got a bit better. Not much but certainly an improvement on before!
actually until i got to the basic retouching, then ti goes bad again.
But this woman does has skills, good ones too, but it is just so over the top, it makes it terrible

She did ok for me back in '07. Removed some wrinkles and made me look less angry. I took runner up in the Little Miss Congeniality pageant.

Botox would work wonders!!! herhehe
Actually, she did get better, I dunno if you remember her original site, but OOOOOOOOOOOMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGgggggggggg, so in some aspects she has actually pulled back her retouching a LOT some of the pictures now, really could pass off as human

Pretty much, but at least she isn't turning little black girls in to little white girls and calling them "enhanced" any more. |

| Bad as Crazy Doll Lady is or used to be, my general opinion of pageants isn't far behind my opinion of her. |

I'm not sure if it makes it better or worse to me that these pageant photos are largely fake. On the one hand, it means that those kids don't ACTUALLY look like dolls. On the other hand, it means that the whole thing is even more synthetic than I thought it was...
pageant people give me the heebie geebies. |

*applauding* Exactly. She's only catering to a market that already exists, which definitely scores high on the creep-o-meter. And people wonder why society is as hypersexualized as it is...*sigh* |

*eyeroll* Hey, at least I'm an adult and doing it of my own free will! I guess some of those kids actually do pageants because they enjoy them. But can't help but wonder how many do it just to please their parents. |

Yeah, just couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Honestly, it reminds me a lot of dog shows, which I find quasi-disturbing as well. Another planet, and I find it belittling and somewhat twisted to parade animals around in that fashion. I feel the same way about children. It really objectifies them. |
