The photoshop community ‘fixing’ celebrity faces to sinister levels

31 Mar

Performing quite a lot of surgical procedures digitally, the Instagram and TikTok accounts promote an unsettling definition of beauty Cultural turning points are rarely the grand, seismic events you examine in textbooks. Sure – there’s 9/11 or Obama being elected to office, but there’s also the iPhone, Caitlyn Jenner coming out, and Beyoncé’s Lemonade. And whether we prefer it or not, there are many smaller (more trivial) moments which work just as hard to maintain culture ticking. Think that Snapchat dog filter or Bella Hadid’s alleged nose job. It’s on the intersection of those two particular phenomena that a disturbing recent trend has emerged: Instagram accounts dedicated to photoshopping celebrities and giving them imagined...

Does mental property exist in the wonder community?

Exploring the wonder industry’s lack of legal protection in relation to matters of the body In 2015, the L.A. based make-up artist and photographer Vlada Haggerty posted a picture to her Instagram that even those unfamiliar with the Instagram beauty community have likely come across in some capability by now: a pair of molten gold lips dripping color, mouth open and teeth barely exposed.

Can the natural hair community trust celebrity brands like

Black celebrity haircare brands have been criticised for being underperforming and overpriced. But where is that this scepticism coming from and why don’t hair brands owned by white celebrities receive the same backlash? Beyoncé is currently on a world tour promoting her latest album, Renaissance – and yet she’s still managed to search out time to tease a possible haircare line, posting a half-cryptic gallery on Instagram. Unsurprisingly, social media was immediately abuzz with comments from the Beehive. One person posted a sequence of photos and videos on Twitter that showcased Queen B’s natural hair in numerous styles, together with the words: “Beyoncé’s natural hair the past several years.
