t socialité (aka famous and popular woman known just for the fact that she is known, without having ever accomplished anything that lead them to recognition). Ms.Langtry lived in London in the beginning of the 20th century and it is said that her "beauty" (later you'll see why I am using quotation marks) made her be able to become an actress (just like Paris Hilton! Ha!) and also the mistress of some English royals. My point with this post is that I have made the observation that not only 'celebrities' are not something new from our times, but also Photoshop isn't new! In the old times though retouching was called painters or artists. Yes, if you don't believe me just look at Lillie Langstry herself. The following picture is painted by two artists. So pretty.... right??Well now look further down to see Lillie's photograph! (That's right, no retouching!)
Well, hellooooo there Miss Ugly!! Nothing like the portraits, huh? See? Photoshop is nothing new! (Ok, maybe she is not the ugliest woman out there, but she looks a bit like a transvestite, don't you think? ;P). I am not sure what's the purpose of this post, but I googled her after I read the article (in which the pretty first picture was shown) and then found out picture number two (down) and I just thought: "Anyone else has noticed there's been a bribery here?".. cause it's either a big amount of cash from Lillie to the painter or we're talking about an artist who needs a visit to the doctor (and a pair of glasses too!).
