I love a good before and after shot. I ran across this website the other day that shows celebrities before their photos were tweaked and after (click on portfolios). In other words, before they took 15 pounds off Kelly Clarkson and after. Personally, I prefer her with the poundage...because that's her. (Course, if it were me, I'd be lovin' me some photoshop).
It's one thing to take out a stray hair or a booger...but to cut out half of someone's behind? That is extreme. Speaking of extreme before and after shots, I have a few of my own. I am a believer in offering real help to the helpless. Of offering hope where there would otherwise be none. Of taking before and after shots that are meaningful and honest and life-changing.
So here we go, straight from the pile of Christmas casualties. This is Ariel before...
And here she is after.
See what a difference I made in her life? I did not change her body type. I did not give here a smaller nose. I gave her hair where there was no hair. I took away baldness, people.
And here's another one. Polly before....
And Polly after.
Tada! What a difference a head makes, huh? She looks happier in this one.
So here's to extreme before and after shots. And if you're having a particularly rough day, just think: at least your hair didn't fall off and you still have a head.

i'm glad to see you found polly's body!
To Funny! Love it!
"What a difference a head makes, huh?"
That, sister, is hilarious.
Hey, that one cracked me up, because my 4-yr-old's little mermaid (the same one)had the same freak hair accident, so it was a very familiar sight!
Wow, that website is nuts! I knew models were Photoshopped, but I didn't realize to what extent!
I'm sure you've noticed, also, that for makeovers on TV and in magazines, they have the person completely scrubbed free of makeup, disheveled, wearing a print (instead of a solid, which is more photographable) and frowning. Then in the after shot, besides being retouched, they are wearing classic solids, lots of makeup, hair in a sleek style and smiling. Hmm...
And thanks for the Ariel shot. Though I will never look so good in a shell brassiere (nor shall I most likely ever try one on), I can feel better about myself now that I've seen her bald!
