Virtual Make-over: Here is your beauty.

I stumbled onto this website a couple of days ago. It is a virtual make-over. Just upload a picture and you can change your hair color, eye color, and even the color of your skin.

Wait, what? The color of your skin?

This is the picture that was used as an example for the site.

The Before picture is of an African-American woman with curly hair and lovely dark skin. The After picture is of the same woman, but with lighter skin and long flowing hair. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! This is beauty. Light skin and flowing hair.

And what of the term, "Virtual Make-over?" What does that mean? This is what you COULD look like— pity you don't.

This is only one avenue society has chosen to steer our idea of what beauty is. Billboards and commercials are one thing, but now we can make unnatainable beauty interactive.
