I've noticed it before, and this just proves it.

Kuleshov effect.

Isn't it kinda the opposite of the Kuleshov effect?

She sure is a creepy person.

She freaks me out.

I was just going to say the same thing.

I saw these photos of her mother earlier, and was amazed by the resemblance. Not to mention creeped out by the first photo, because I think she's 14.

Paris Hilton is the detritus of a social class gone wrong.

Well, I think it is the same underlying psychological mechanism as the KE. By having an expressionless face she has the "perfect expression" that stands as signifier for the projection of the viewer's associative symbology. Unfortunately everyone see PH as so vapid that it undermines the puissance of her ossified visage.

I was gonna say the same thing as sciurus, but sciurus said it much much much better. Greta Garbo effect, but. . .then she talks and stuff and it's awful.

Don't forget the bush.

TOTALLY SAFE FOR WORK

We'll always have Paris.

obviously she's hiding something on her left side.

Of course, with enough photos of someone, you can find many where the face is approximately the same, and your brain smoothes the nominal differences.

Nicky really looks like her mum. And pmbuko, I've seen a few photographs showing her left side - I say she's prettier from the left side (younger and softer somehow).

I'm pretty sure that botox treatments have made it possible for her to have only a few facial expressions, and I assume that it's automatic by now to put her "best side" forward where there are cameras.

The gif was fun, delmoi; I decided not to allow the wav to load, so I may have missed some of the point.
