Creepy creepy creepy creepy I am so freaked out by these pictures, yet somehow, I just keep clicking away. Scroll down and hit "View More Samples."

Yep, major case of the wiggins now. Ick! Those "doll eyes" are gonna give me nightmares.

Ugh... They're awful! I really thought the first picture was of a custom doll they had made to look like thhat specific girl.

Oh, I don't know -- I'm sure turning your child into a wax mannequin has its advantages. No more "playing" and "talking" and "acting like an independent human being with a self-identity separate from mommy's" that make actual breathing children so tiresome!

I can't get past the first pic. These kind of things make me think there's some kind of cognitive "recognition" problem going on, like anorexics or Michael Jackson have, except instead of it affecting how people see themselves, it affects how people see (their?) children.

Needs a marketing affiliates program.

"People who selected 'doll eyes replacement' also had baby shoes bronzed."

The teeth on this one are making me LOL.

Yeah, and the best part is the url — "Natural Beauties Contest."

Hey, my baby shoes are bronzed.

This one is the only one that doesn't make me want to run screaming.

"...Hey, my baby shoes are bronzed."

Yep, so are mine. Fortunately, my younger brother's are lost to history, as are my sister's. So it's not possible for them to point out what a baby Big Foot I really was, by comparison. Thanks, Mom!

The bows alone scare me.

Hey the shoes I'm wearing now are bronzed. (Instead of carrying a gun for self defense, I just kick muggers in the shins).

The adult smiles all look like Rachael Ray. This disturbs me.
Also, all the eyes look pastede on yey.

I like this one.
Is it a baby? Is it a middle-aged Flapper from the 1920's?

Bride of Chucky. Cheesy!

Horrible. And how screwed up are those kids going to be when they realise that, as they are as their natural selves, they are not 'perfect' enough for their parents?

That is some godawful retouching work.

posted by chrismear 28 April | 05:59

I'm equally disturbed by the list of retouches which includes items like "mouth replaced."

posted by treepour 28 April | 12:30

I did, however like the wedding touchups. Both of them. The kids, however, well, will give me nightmares of plastic dolls coming to get me.
