What Photoshopping My Selfies Taught Me

What Photoshopping My Selfies Taught Me

What is the purpose of Photoshop?

If you’d asked me that question a few weeks ago, I know exactly how I would have answered: Fashion magazines use Photoshop to make people thinner, to airbrush skin imperfections, to make eyes bigger and teeth whiter.

I know that as we are looking at this amazing picture we are all probably thinking the same thing and that thing is “Fuck Audrey Hepburn.

Gallery: 'Scared Bros At A Haunted House' Is My New Favorite Thing On The Internet

I don’t know if it’s because it’s Friday or I’m hopped up on cold medicine or what, but these photos of scared bros at a haunted house are bringing me endless joy. They come courtesy of Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls, CA, and they are a barrel of laughs. Something about seeing a guy who has dressed himself in “tough” clothes like a sports jersey and baseball cap cowering in fear of silicone monsters just makes me cackle with schadenfreud-y glee. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. More »
