Cool to see the comparison, the originals aren't even all that unflattering at all. But nobody's perfect, so it's kinda neat to see the things they chose to doctor up before launching the ads. I'd have been just as impressed with the untouched shots being what we saw from day one, TBH.
Britney was breathtaking from ~5 feet away at the concert I was at in September. From top to bottom, she's a stunning chick. I suppose it's easy to forget that amongst a sea of unflattering paparazzi photos and before-and-after touch ups that make her look "worse" by comparison, but she is.
I'm glad this thread got a little bump, by the way. It was fun reading back through the pages and reliving an awesome chapter for Britney and us, the fans. Fall 2010, we do it again!
