Maxfactor fesses up – kind of.
I saw a new Maxfactor ad on the telly and it made me crease. It was for a mascara and was pretty generic, catwalk, bulbs flashing, models pouting and applying. The fabulous thing about this ad was a discreet 2 second flash of these words on the corner of the screen “Enhanced in post production.”
Fairly cryptic to the non – media weary eye isn’t it? Were they referring to the massive amount of photoshopping perhaps?
What they should have wrote is: “Deluded mascara wearers of the world, the mascara will not make you have the same eye’s as this model, because, she doesn’t even have them. The magical pixel fairies created them with their photowand. Some pressure group made us tell you this. Buh Bye Sucker.”
They need to be doing this shit with all adverts purely for our amusement. Lynx should be next me thinks.
Blink and you might miss it…
Picture perfect. Google Love
I spent a couple of day’s fiddling around with on-line image host’s trying to share and upload some purdy pictures.
I ended up trying Photobucket and Flickr but I had a lot of grief because of bandwidth issues or something.
Four hours on and one major headache later, between the two site’s I had uploaded…wait for it…. 1 image.
In a last ditch attempt, I downloaded Picasa, which is Google’s foray into image management and it’s bloody awesome for a free piece of software.
It organises all your photo’s into one place at a click of a button, will reduce 9 megapixel images without losing quality and it even has basic editing capabilities.
The funny thing was, I had trawled the web for hours, looking for advice on which uploader to use, and not one mentioned Picasa which turned out to be my saviour.

For those of you that read culturejamjar, you will know that I covered The Big Chill in Eastnor last weekend – http://culturejamjar.wordpress.com.
Leonard Cohen’s performance was by far the most moving, monumental even but I came away from the festival with a new french fancy by then name of Camille.
She bounced onto the stage rocking an orange poncho/smock giggling “Ello, I am the froggie” and then performed an quirky, funny and passionate set which included her beatboxing her openings and making a sea of people miaow and bark.
She’s been around for a while, but until Sunday was new to me, I would recommend going to see her play, she is a fabulous oddball.
