You missed the point there: on the internet, we can all be picky. In real life, that’s a different matter.
So you’re saying you’d prefer to be picky, just don’t have the means?[/quote]
No, I’m saying for celebrities and such (those who’s livelihood and daily life is based around appearance and being in front of a camera), they are supposed to be judged and critiqued far harsher than a ‘normal’ person.
My example here:
- Bodybuilder vs. competitive bodybuilder. If I get into bodybuilding contest ‘shape’, the majority of the world - heck, even judges of a contest - would think I looked great. However, once I OPEN MYSELF UP to the arena of judgement (entering a public contest) I might not stack up so well, as compared to someone else. No one gets placed in a contest because ‘they’re OK’…they have to be above and beyond the others that have opened themselves to judgement.
My stance is that once you’re a celebrity, especially a celebrity noted for your appearance, then you’ve gone from a 1.5x to a 10x microscope.
NORMAL people (those that do not have an entourage of publicists, stylists, personal trainers, personal chefs, assistants, and the like) ALWAYS judge themselves against an airbrushed photo of a celebrity and usually feel lacking. In this case, I’m reversing it and pointing out a flaw that you’d think one of those people should have noticed.
Finally, in ‘real life’, I’m sure it wouldn’t be noticeable, but a photograph (professionally done, mind you) is a moment in time, and you’d think they would have addressed something like that, given the money most likely spent for it. It’s not the same if I blink in a family picture and screw up the photo - I’m not getting paid $1000s an hour to look pretty.
