Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:53 am Post subject: Not quite the Korean Cindy Crawford |
|
|
I went to Technomart today and was struck by this ad for something or another. What really struck me was two fold:
1) The model in the ad I found really really beautiful, strikingly beautiful. Oddly I almost never see strikingly beautiful Korean women used in ads. There are lots on the street, mind you. But for some reason they just don't make it in print.
2) She also has some pimple on her nose. It's not a bit of dirt. The ad in other parts of technomart have the same mark on her nose. And another ad of her from a different angle also reveals the nose pimple. Hrm. Odd they didn't photoshop it out. Would have been rather easy. Slipshod or is this the model's thing? Like Cindy Crawford's mole kind of transformed her from some run of the mill catalog model to super model status. So maybe this is her gimmick.

She's strikingly beautiful? Maybe above average, but even then.. alright, a solid above average. |

That's not a pimple, that's a mole. |

Agreed. That "strikingly beautiful" phrase had my hopes raised. But alas... |

above average in Korea, but that's not saying much
Koreans have horrible skin, always bruised and splotchy |

There's nothing wrong with the mark on her nose. Usually such marks are photoshopped out. I wondered why it wasn't in this case, that maybe this nose pimple was her thing like Cindy Crawford's mole.
One reason I hate Playboy magazine is they photoshop out all the imperfections creating a woman who simply does not exist. Playboy is as erotic as reading a photoshop manual. |

That girl cleans up nice for magazing shots and TV commercials (super nice, in fact), but when you see her movies, in which she has less than 20 pounds of makeup, you can't believe how "plain-Jane" she is. Not noteworthy at all. |
