Now I know I can be a supermodel too after all that hair, makeup and PS wizardry! UGH, no wonder people hate themselves for how they look when they try to look like something that doesn't exist or go on camping trips looking for that piece of nature that is portrayed by (insert name) with dramatic sunrises over mountains reflected in perfect tarns in perfect weather.

I am loving the "post foliage" season look. I like nature as she slowly releases her clothing. the subtle layers and soft colors are lovely and the decidious trees perfectly spaced.

I see the other site removed this objectionable material. I thought it was amazing how reality can be altered to benefit a purpose.

Just because animals don't have art directors and most species don't even have opposable thumbs to shoot commercials, doesn't mean they can get out of being guilty of vanity and these preconceived notions of beauty too!

After all, competition for leadership, mating and sometimes even social acceptance begins with an exhibition of colorful displays, brawn, beauty, athletic ability, etc...depending on the species. And even though they were trying to be sneaky about it and not advertise such behavior, we clever humans found a way to catch them on film and show the world that we are not the only ones doing this.
