Cruising the internet this morning, I am reminded of Holiday cheer and how everyone everywhere puts on the tinsel. So when I saw this, I thought, tinsel. Glam. Shiny, pretty stuff.

And wow, I wish I could look that good. And I thought, "Wow, I bet SHE wishes she looked that good."

Because along with the PhotoShopped version, came the original picture, the "before," if you will.

Ahhh, the holidays. It's never the wrong time to try to make women insecure, feel old, or appear to be something we're not.

Don't get me wrong-- I am a Web designer by trade, and have been for almost 10 years. And I LOVE all that PhotoShop can do for me. And to me, when I take a picture that is sightly less than... appealing.

But let's all try to remember, in the famous words of Al Franken: We are good (looking) enough. We are smart enough. And doggone it, people like us.
