Well I guess when you are 57 and in the spotlight you might accept some Photoshop help. But this is not it! Yikes. The photoeditor should have their Photoshop licence revoked. I think that there's a Photoshop disaster site out there somewhere. What a suitable candidate. The photo looks like it might actually be two shots from the same concert with the second head shot chosen for a better expression. There is a bolero type jacket and shoulder pieces so maybe that is giving the wrong body profile impression. I actually saw a new and very unflattering recent photo of Cyndi on PBase just yesterday. That one may be accurate but I doubt if the performer would put it on her next album!. http://www.pbase.com/yaamon/image/126209312 Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 5 July 2010 07:13, Peter Klein <pklein at threshinc.com> wrote: > "Parade" magazine is a little magazine that is included with many Sunday > newspapers in the U.S. Today, on Page 2, there is a horrible "photograph" > of pop singer Cyndi Lauper.
