A couple of months ago Dove launched this amazing campaign, in which they focused in real beauty… (???)
Since I work a lot with models and retouching I´m used to these kind of morphs by trying to give the model a real beauty touch. What happens if the process is backwards?
Thank god our perception of real life is distorted. Is it??? Well, no wonder our perception of beauty is distorted at all…

the best in tech
this year.Always intriguing, often useful, and sometimes surprising, these 10 products showcase some of the best in tech this year.
1. Microsoft Office 2007
Innovation? Microsoft? Yes, I´m were surprised, too, but the Redmond giant’s latest upgrade of the world’s most popular productivity suite introduces several new features that revolutionize how people work with documents. The most striking change is a “ribbon” at the top of the interface that replaces the traditional cascading menus and taskbars, and can expose functions you never knew were there. Through the suite’s handy new Live Preview feature, you can see how formatting changes, for example, will affect your document prior to your making them. You get greater XML-format support, too. Prices range from $149 for the Home and Student edition to $679 for the Ultimate edition.
2. Intel Core 2 Duo
As by far the fastest desktop chips we’ve ever tested, the Core 2 Duo series might have the greatest impact of any product on this list. Most of Core 2 Duo’s technological advances are obscured under titles like Advanced Smart Caching, Smart Memory Access, and Wide Dynamic Execution. Intel’s truly innovative accomplishment was managing to bundle all of those technologies together, while significantly reducing power consumption.
3. Parallels Desktop for Mac
The idea of running Windows on a Mac made plenty of headlines this year. While this Hades-freezing development is undeniably cool and useful, it’s hard to pin down which implementation is most innovative. We chose the slick virtualization software Parallels ($80), because it’s arguably the most useful way to run key Windows apps on your Mac. But we also want to give a nod to Blanka and Narf, the two coders who wrote the WinXPonMac hack that seemed to prod Apple to rush out Boot Camp.
4. Nintendo Wii
The $250 Wii video game console boasts powerful new motion-sensing controllers that make game play both more entertaining and more active. In specially designed games, you can swing the Wii Remote or the joystick-like Nunchuck to have your character smash a tennis ball or throw a nasty left hook. It’s fun and addictive, and ushers in a new era for gaming.
5. Samsung 32GB SSD
Bringing a flash drive of usable size to notebooks, the Samsung 32GB SSD hard disk (price not set at press time) heralds a new age in fast laptop storage, and sets the stage for upcoming hybrid drives.
6. Sony Reader
E-books have yet to truly make it in the mass market, but Sony’s $350 Reader (check latest pricing) may buck the trend. The device boasts a glare-free screen and innovative E Ink technology, which gives you the same resolution as newsprint and looks better than typical LCDs do in bright light. The Reader, slightly larger than a standard paperback, is easy to use and weighs only 9 ounces.
7. YouOS
Do you ever wonder how far the whole Ajax-based applications-in-a-browser craze can go? How about an entire operating system that runs in your browser? That’s what YouOS, WebShaka’s intriguing free site currently in alpha testing, is all about. Applications, data, and settings all live on the server. Set up an account, and you can access your YouOS desktop from anywhere, which gives a whole new meaning to remote access.
8. Olympus EVolt E-330
The $950 Olympus EVolt E-330 digital SLR introduces a unique feature to this class of camera: an LCD that can provide a live preview of your shot. In particular macro shooters and users with glasses should appreciate this, as it will save them some struggle with the viewfinder. To use the LCD this way, simply press the Live View button. You can see the scene at 92 percent (and have it autofocus), or at 100 percent (focusing manually) with accurate depth of field and the ability to magnify details to ensure that your shot is sharp. Image quality was good in our tests, and the camera includes Olympus’s top-notch cleaning mechanism to keep dust from marring your photographs.
9. Google SketchUp
This drawing program makes creating 3D structures supereasy. You can have a model done in minutes, then save, print, or add it to Google Earth to share it with other users. You also have access to a plethora of ready-made structures via Google’s 3D Warehouse, and Google SketchUp’s thorough online documentation can help you past any rough patches as you build. The program works with both Windows and the Mac OS–and best of all, it’s free.
10. Sony PlayStation 3
A multicore cell processor. Blu-ray. Wi-Fi. A custom-designed nVidia graphics chip. A motion-sensing, wireless controller. We’ve seen many of these technologies before, but Sony gets major points for managing to pack all of them into one machine. And while $599 sounds like a lot for a game console, the 60GB Sony PlayStation 3 probably has more power than your average budget PC (a slightly less powerful version is available for $499). The PS3 is truly focused on high definition, and our first tests showed that it’s arguably a better Blu-ray Disc player than Samsung’s first $1000 effort.

What is the first thing you think about when you hear the word “Brazil”?? Samba, football, tiny bikini girls on the beach?? That was what I thought three years ago when I arrived in Brazil. I came to Porto Alegre and after one month I saw that I was wrong… Porto Alegre, State Capital of Rio Grande do Sul is a Gaucho Culture state built of Italian and German immigrants. Take a look at a different Brazil, take a look at this magical place, Rio Grande do Sul.
