The entire Naugas desk staff seemed to take a deep breath when a drop-dead gorgeous woman walked in the door yesterday to check in. She was with a guy driving a fancy sports car. I guess that guys love women with beauty, and women love guys with money.
We learned later that she is a professional model, with her picture appearing on the covers of several national magazines. She said that she works closely with a professional photographer in New York City, and that it really is tiring for a model to “strike a pose” over and over…but a model can’t let your face reveal that you are tired, or the photographs will reveal it.
“Actually,” she revealed, “a good retoucher can hide fatigue in the retouched photos. Using Photoshop, she said, “A great retoucher can eliminate bags under the eyes, skin blemishes, pimples, scars, stray hairs and all kinds of imperfections.” She said that a photo reveals imperfections that are not normally noticed, and that she would never, ever release a picture that was not retouched.
As I looked at some of the other Naugas staff members, I realized that some of them would need some heavy-duty retouching to look good.
