Wonky Photoshop

This is Hilary Swank on the cover of the December issue of UK Tatler. Now, say what you will about her, I actually think she looks quite pretty, relaxed and natural here. Except there’s something weird going on with the with her hairl and face. Clearly one of the two has been added on later, or altered – the angle’s all wrong! Just keep looking at that hairline, and it begins to look like an optical illusion. It looks like they just got a picture of her face and added it on to someone else’s body. (Which makes the “pretty, relaxed and natural comment” go out the window.) Or, they’ve added the hair on after – like one of those websites where you can test different hairstyles!

However, my favourite bit* of the whole cover is her expression. It’s like she’s saying “You guyyys!” Maybe the whole sentence was “You guyyys! Photoshop in my hairstyle later…that’s hilarious!”

*Actually, that’s not strictly true. My REAL favourite bit is the “The champagne workout: Party hard & stay thin” line. Hmm, best get down to the newsagents tomorrow…
