The Same But Better

Britney Spears' ads for Candie's shoes (yeah, we don't have those in the UK to my knowledge... not a huge loss!) have been virally circulating in full before-and-after glory... The get air brush debate continues to rage on, but right or not, the more before-and-after shots we see, the more evident it becomes that reaching this level of physical perfection is not possible without the help of some clever software...
Even those with the time, money and inclination to work out for three hours a day with the help of navy seals/olympians/ex-Gladiators aren't able to live up to their own, better selves. The selves that sell shoes. It must be surreal, and horrible, to look at a picture of yourself, perfected, and then face the reality in the mirror...
