Harper's once published the list of the touch-ups ordered for some 
cover photo of Michelle Pfeiffer--"remove blemish from left cheek," 
"even out skin tone on forehead," etc.  I think those lists should be 
printed alongside every fashion photo!  Truth in Advertising.

They did not see the need to remove the red from her eyes, apparently. 
 I think MP is very pretty, but I can't look at her without blinking 
frequently in sympathy.  Her eyes always look as if she just got out 
of an over-chlorinated pool.
