Catpaw – diary of an angry cat

Slightly grumpy with an aversion to noise.

Make it stop… for the love of God make it stop!

I was wandering through one of my favourite websites tonight (Photoshop Disasters) and when I saw this picture I couldn’t stop laughing. I think I hurt myself I laughed so hard:


makeitstop


Wish I could take credit for finding this incredible advertising disaster, but I can’t. When I saw it I just had to see the original site. It’s from WFashion magazine’s article called From Here to Eternity. You have to cruise on over, but put your coffee cup down first or you’ll spill the coffee all over your keyboard when you start to laugh. The page reads:

Black, bows and Brigitte Bardot looks: Tailored suits and dresses with more than a soupcon of the early Sixties take on a certain raciness in the incongruous environment of a windswept beach.

Umm…no .. this is less Brigitte Bardot and more angry vampire girl. Do you think they mistook sulky for sultry?

What is with the eye makeup? Kind of Goth gone waterbaby look going there folks.

The dress is “cotton lace with horsehair and silk chiffon”. He he… they should give it back to the horse.

But the crowning touch is the over-photoshopping done to her hands. Take a close look at her fingers. Nothing human has fingers like that. What rational was used to elongate and flatten her fingers like that? What were they smoking?

No, actually, it’s the plus sized bow that completes this collage of silliness. It sets off the exaggerated eye liner and angry sneer! Hmmm… did Brigitte Bardot sneer?

Stumble it!
