It just goes to show you how artificial the idealised beauty standard use for photoshoots actually is. One guy I knew used to work for FHM magazine retouching the pictures sent in using Photoshop; despite all the efforts of makeup artists, hairdressers, lighting technicians and the photographer himself, it still took a good half an hour of him farting about on Photoshop to get the final picture looking exactly as the Editors wanted it to be...
Next time you're out and about take a good hard look at people. Or better still, in the changing rooms for your gym or swiming pool. Be evil, be ruthless, nit-pick away. No-one's perfect; everyone has lumps, bumps, blemishes, wrinkles, grey hairs, warts and all. But everyone still looks beautiful. :)
