The GOP operative's halloween makeup failures exposed!


I figured, what if she really got mugged? Her right eye would be swollen.... so I added that. And her right eye would be more colorful... pinks.. reds... yellows... etc, so I added them too. And the whites would at least be a *little* bit red... Cool!

Now about that damn backwards B on her right cheek... well, that should clearly have been the other way around, so I mirrored it the correct way - there... THAT looks a whole lot more real!

I don't charge as much as Sarah Palin's makeup artist, but I am available for a decent fee... you know, for the NEXT faked assault on a GOP operative during a LOSING campaign!

lol :P

1. You should delete this before someone tries to pass it off as real.
Seriously.

10. I'm hoping to get the contract
How much should I charge? I would make her eyelid a bit more swollen too... if I had paid hours to put into it :P

12. Well, when reversed the left side was too light... so yes, a little on the left
The right side is darker because of the reversal as well... I'd have to do more work on it if I were paid a fee for it. I'm thinking Fox News could afford to pay me, what, $500 for it? I could have it ready for the prime time news on the west coast!

:P

11. Hehe, actually I do agree, take it down before someone passes it off as the real thing...
I must admit, when I first saw the pick I freaked out thinking it was real and the earlier photos I saw were just dark or something.

25. Actually, you need to add a lot more swelling to the left eye (right side of pic) and break her nose
Then it would look even more real. Because without the busted nose, she can't have damage like that.

26. Yeah, that would be better, but hey, it's a freebie demo job :)
You don't get much for nothing. Fox has not come through with the cash to update. Perhaps McCain/Palin will come through. They ARE the beneficiaries, after all. :P

27. OK, good idea... just did that right now
And I would think that if anyone used this one as legit, they would be so easily exposed as yellow journalists they would be a laughing stock!

3. Was the original a self-pic, or a police pic?
Anyone know?

4. I don't know - but I think a police pic would have a ruler in it
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 07:30 PM by Cronus Protagonist
So they could get the size of the B, which clearly stands for BULLSHIT!

:P

9. I'm pretty sure it's a self pic as she didn't want a polic report or medical attention.

14. Nice work on the bruise
More swelling would have been nice, but what the hell. I was mugged a long time ago, my sister could only respond with tears when she saw me. I could only see here from one eye. I really am surprised that "sludge report" ran so big with this obvious piece of hooey.

15. Thanks!
I only spent 5 minutes on it. It's just a promo for the job. I figure FOX can tell how good I am from that little sample and well, you know, time IS money!

:P

16. The Color Of The Bruising Is All Wrong
She has had that bruising for a few days judging by the color of it. I am no expert but isn't that how a black eye looks several days after the injury? The reason I say that is the extent that it extends beyond the immediate injury area (ie: the blood is slowly absorbing into the cheek area beyond the actual injury).

18. The point I was making is that it's makeup, not a real bruise
And you are correct. On the first day, it would be red and yellow, turning black only at least a day or so after the attack, at which time it would also be so badly swollen she would not be able to see out of that eye!

17. Why is her eye not swollen?
This is soooooooooooooo phony. It's Halloween. Bruise make up can be found everywhere. You can make the red scar with a comb.
I use to do it on the back of my hand. It hurts little but makes good temporary scar. This is something she did to herself or she had a friend do it. Typical teenage prank. :dem:

19. LOL. Drudge will be using this in a matter of hours. Perhaps add an "O" on the other cheek
for more dramatic flare!

21. I like the way you think!
Perhaps DRUDGE might hire me, but really, due to the McCain/Feingold bill, I think the campaign ought to pay me for the final workup directly. :P

28. Why would she take a picture of evidence in the dark? Yep, I'm going to document my injuries in a
dark room.

Nicely done!
