In reference to (e:mike,483) I agree that I too have seen many a cute-a-fied picture. I feel like this presents an unfair advantage to those of us who choose to keep it real/old school and forego the photoshop corrective surgery. I mean I'm all for cropping a picture to edit out a ugly friend, but to use a picture to distort the body image is really not cool. I mean come on- no one wants to think youre hot only to discover upon meeting you in real life that your not. In the spirit of this me and (e:paul) have invented the photoshop or not game.

My karaoke debutCategory: rockstar
This past weekend was the best ever. Hard to believe but I've never been to karaoke before. For my big premier I chose one of my all time favorite songs "Pour some sugar on me" By Def Leopard. You really can't go wrong with a song that encourages one to lick sugar off you.
The next day I spent at the beer garden in queens. Again totally awesome time.
Such a pleasant change from my last weekend of everything sucking.

God heard my prayersCategory: steak
I love steak. I'm pretty much willing to whore myself out in order to get steak. The only two ways I normally get steak are:
1. Whore myself out to the man- aka sit through a business dinner. Sometimes those are fun, most times not.
2. Whore myself out to a man- aka go on a date with the premise that if I order a kobe beef steak most likely Im going to have to put out. Somtimes worth the steak, sometimes not. Thats always a gamble.
Just this very morning me and dear Mimi were musing how we could so go for a steak, yet neither of us had the means to obtain one (here a good steak dinner can easily go $150 a person with wine). Awesomely I got an invite to a business dinner- and Ms. Mimi will be my date. So I guess today Im a whore for the man. I'm so willing to put up with dull business talk for a steak!

I feel your pain - The disingenuousness of a business dinner is the only I could have gotten into the Western Door in the Falls, Fiamma, Fanny, or Ebgreens lately.
I got my boss to go to Oliver's next week to meet another programmer. They spent 10 minutes talking actual business. We spend three hours eating

This is going beyond the realm of photos, but it sure falls into the category of misrepresentation: Padded/Push up and Out Bras. Now *thats* false advertisement.
I dont even know how to use a photoshop/chop program-- but how much can you alter? ok, assuming a lot based on the responses. I guess I figured it was for taking out zits and pit stains. Not cutting off 50 lbs. In that case, can anyone show me how to use such a program, heh ;)
Couldn't agree more. Totally not fair to misrepresent yourself.
i think it's fun to mess with photos, but i agree it's shady when you stretch and angle the image to make you look incredibly thinner than you are etc etc...that's just silly.
Holy fucking shit, the bait and switch. How many people have been fooled by that one? I would rather have the most fucked up picture possible so when they meet me they could say "Damn that Jay is fucking hot and his photo doesn't even begin to do him justice."
oh come on ho,
give it up for my mustache.
It's called hot or shop.
