http://janrebel.eu/nextgen-image/146/91x68/crop/71b5d5569917cd9fa609b402c076c40b So today on Twitter I saw some people retweeting a picture of Zooey Deschanel (500 Days of Summer; New Girl; Yes Man) into my timeline

I clicked, absent-mindedly, not expecting much apart from a really skinny version of Zooey – nothing much different from your average photoshopping.

I was wrong. Here is that abomination.

Zoeey Deschanel photoshopped in Rimmel lipstip Advert

This seems to me to be a whole new ballgame: a complete ‘shopping of her face – if they don’t like the face they’re hiring, surely they should choose another?

Here’s what Zooey normally looks like

Probably photoshopped a bit, but this is what Zooey normally looks like

So, I decided to photoshop a photo of myself, to see how different I could make myself look. I’m not particularly good at photo editing, but here’s a gif of what I came up with:

Me from 2007, re-done and photoshopped to resemble someone else!

2007 me, 'shopped to make me appear thinner and younger. Slightly more alien. Blink and you'll miss it.

But I wanted to see what the new ‘me’ might look like as per Zooey’s advert. Again, photoshop isn’t my strongest skill, but here I am, fully ‘Rimmeled’…
