Does anyone else think this is weird?

I found this ad on model mayhem. For $40 per photo, your child's picture could be retouched like this (pageant photo retouching and comp cards):

I don't understand. Might as well just draw the girl from scratch. And these are kids. Kids don't need that much retouching, if any at all.

I've seen this before. It's absolutely obscene and a poor use of Photoshop as well.

That is straight evil looking, making a good looking kid into one of the children of the corn

There is a sickness associated with this...and I don't even want to get started on child beauty contests. Why on earth would you wish to make a baby look like an adult?

Gross.

I concur. Whomever thinks the photo on the right looks better needs some eyedrops and some of Ludwig's 9th.

weird!
BAD photoshop too

It just goes to show there's a market for anything!

This is great. Whenever I want my kid to look like a malasyan cartoon, I can just pay a lot of money to this site for it.

(sheez, some people)

I'm gonna send a photo of myself and see what she does with it.

My better half:- "Why would anyone want to make their child into their very own Barbie!?"

A service for the chavs of this world. <shudder>

Even PS can't perform miracles. I would have the same problem.:p

I don't know which is worse, the whole idea of child pageants, or that Photoshop job. (Actually, I realize that the idea is worse, but the PP job is SO bad!)

Absolutely no arguments from me. This goes on my "avoid like the plague" list.

i dont like it they over did it big time she looks like a toy doll
