Pictures! (Of Vanity and the Golden Ratio Part II)

I figured this place was getting a bit stale so I added pictures! Hurrah.

Before the plastic surgery (the average male contender):

After the plastic surgery, various improvements made to the chin and nose:
Only through artificial means can we achieve an image that is of impeccable androgyny and alien beauty (in this image, the final touches are made as they surgically remove the eyeglasses from the previous image; the cheeks have been tucked and the lips enhanced for a fuller look):
Before Adobe Photoshop:
After Mad Adobe Photoshop Skills (Rogaine?):
Theme: The Deceptive Effects of Digital Manipulation are presented here in painstaking detail. Don't believe what you see!

A Family Reunion Photo at the Beach 1997:


Only through light and photography are we given the privilege to cherish the most tender moments in life. This is a photo taken during the 2004Li family reunion. There's me (A), the former Chemistry Major and now struggling Microbiology Major. I am the epitome of tragic hero and then there's my self absorbed mother (B) dressed in sky blue and adorned with some pebble necklace. I know she purposely obscures me. After my father died she had been sleeping with my younger brother and my step-sister. My step sister (D) is actually in this picture as well but because she is shy and timid, she may be harder to spot. She is in the distance and was not asked to pose for the photo. She got through college with a porn scholarship. Needless to say, father was proud. My distant cousin (B) from Sweden adorns this photo with her well-shaped ass as she stands with that perfectly formed tush conspicuously distracting from the subject of the photo: me. I asked her once to help me make my babies for me and we haven't spoken ever since and hence the word "distant." The lady in red in the center isn't actually family per se, she's my psycho "now" ex-girlfriend Dakota Fanning (C), who went with us on this particular trip to the Hawaiian Coast. The poor soul was addicted to heroin and sucked dick for quarters.
It's sometimes frustrating to live with a family that's so god damn hot. Due to my social upbringing around people of such immense pulchritude, it is understandable that I have no qualms about incest because frankly, cousins are hot. Hot as hell. It's doesn't matter whether a relationship is platonic or physical, all that matters is that the two consenting parties are in love. These words are cliche only because they ring true.
Of all the family photographs we've taken over the years during various bi-annual family reunions, this one was the best.
For those who don't know due the distracting optical illusion, this is a photograph of a beautiful sea shore.
