Lady Gaga Versace Ad

If you haven't seen her Versace ad it’s okay you probably wouldn't have recognized her anyway. Here is a link to the picture. If you can't tell the picture on the right is the one that has been edited. When I first looked at this picture it was kind of like that game you played when you were little. You the one that was on every kid's menu at every restaurant, where you had to spot the differences. That is what I did to these two pictures I tried to spot the differences.

First of all in the picture on right her face looks very shimmery and tan. Like she is wearing foundation and/or blush. Then in the picture on the left it looks like she isn't wearing any make up. She looks like she just got out of bed. Her lips also looked chapped on the picture on the left, then on the other side she is wearing lip gloss. The shape of her face is also very different. On the right it is very angled and almost perfect looking. Then on the right it looks nothing like that. Her cheeks almost look puffy. Again like she just woke up. Then her hair on the left side is yellowish. Then on the right it is like platinum, almost white. On the left as well her hair looks like she is wearing a wig and it's falling off. On the right it looks better obviously but her roots don't look very good. Next her legs on the right at almost shimmery like her face. They look tan and tone, her legs look like a Barbie’s legs. (Which I don't consider a good thing, but other people might). On the left it looks like her knees are bruised and banged up. If you look at the background of both pictures you can tell that the right hand picture has been darkened. 

I guess it’s good we have such good editing. But if they have to do that much to make you look better is it really worth it. I thought Lady Gaga would be against all of this. I checked her twitter to see if she said anything about it and she didn't. If she was "Born That Way" why isn't she embracing it? Instead she is hiding it. I think by now her fans know and the rest of America knows that all celebrities have bad picture days and some just are not photogenic. That’s okay just don’t hide it. Own it. Make it yours.
