Fifties Photoshop

Back in the fifties before they had photoshop they used to use paint. Not MSPaint, actual paint. Crazy huh? Still, it beats the alternative - a realistic depiction of female beauty in the media. That'd be terrible.

This is the work of Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger. He makes unique portraits of celebrities that are intimate, sensual and incredibly stylish. These masterpieces (little bit NSFW) include Gwyneth Paltrow, Leonardo DiCaprio and Heidi Klum.

It's important that despite all the famine and suffering in the third world that us in the first world can soldier on and find interesting new ways to spend our unearned wealth on extravagant eccentricities like these.

Where would we be without our butts? Our trousers wouldn't stay up so well and sitting down wouldn't be as fun, if we didn't have them galleries like this would be impossible. So, release your inner baboon and enjoy these ladies.

What is it that makes certain female celebrities stick out from the crowd, they all seem to have something in common, but i just can't seem to put my finger on it is....I probably wouldn't be allowed to anyway.

Proof that under all that flubber lies a ripped body just waiting to be shown off. I just knew i had muscles. Kinda. I'm guessing that quite a lot of personal work was required to make some of these amazing body alterations posible.

I always thought the phrase 'cute emo' was an oxymoron, surely those two words cannot be used to describe the stereotype imagery we all have stored in our cynical minds. Seems that emos' can be cute after all.

I dunno, but there is something slightly attractive and dangerous happening at the same time here? Maybe it's a 'no pleasure without pain' kinda thang? For those of you who love babes with some serious mouth machinery !

Come on, have a little think about it, you don't really like those girls in films & magazines who have been airbrushed & retouched SO much that they probably don't exist! What you REALLY want is a girl-next-door type who really does live next door!

When it comes to photography, the difference between a yawn-tastic photo & sublime awesomeness is all about the right angle - Witness everyday normality transformed into total abstract wonder before your very eyes.

They are out there. Waiting. Looking for any oppertunity to get into one of your personal photos and spoil them with their own special brand of posing. Be it a weird face, body part, or god knows what. Fear them.
