Our own Shari Graydon, author of Made You Look and In Your Face, will be participating in an event on a hot topic: airbrushing photos in advertising. This event, Beauty (Mis)Represented, will debate the question: Is photo-manipulation in advertising benign and irrelevant, or damaging and indefensible? This is a topic I'm particularly interested in... and yet I will confess that I sometimes untag photos of myself on Facebook if I don't like how I look in them! (I can't be the only one who does this, right? Right?)
