Hello, hello!

Our next theme is Dare To Be - A Smoker: Before and After.

Chosen by Insensitive., winner of Dare To Be - No Gifts for Naughty Girls.

The gist of this theme is to provide "before" and "after" shots using makeup to immitate the effects that years of smoking can have on one's appearance.

I apologize ahead of time for the lack of inspiration pics, but all of the pics I found were far too graphic to post here. If any of you are able to find suitable inspiration pics, feel free to post them!

And, as always...

If you are thinking about entering this challenge, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

THE RULES HAVE CHANGED!

1. NO photo manipulation is allowed at all!

What is Photo Manipulation and what does it include?

Well, you've probably seen some great photo manipulation by our very own mod, Daer0n. An example of her work is illustrated here:

This is probably the first thing that comes to mind when a lot of people hear the word "Photoshopped" or "Photo Manipulated", but a photo manipulation can be very subtle and include even slight changes like alterations to coloring or contrast. So even if you lighten your photo with a photo-editing program,you may not think it counts as photo manipulation, but it does. Basically, if you use a photo editing program to alter your photo in any way, it counts as photo manipulation. Therefore, for all Dare to Be competitions, you are only allowed to crop and/or resize your photo. That's it.

2. Any pictures which appear to be suspect, will either be automatically disqualified if the member is asked and doesn't come clean. If after saying it's not touched in any way the picture still seems to be suspect, then the entry will be DQed anyway. (If need be, it will be made so all entries are approved by a Moderator first).

3. Voting will remain in place. There is not true sufficient evidence to back that consistent entries/winners are discouraging. Participation overall still lacks, which we hope will change very soon!

Have fun and enjoy the contest!
For those whose entries include more than one pic: Please post the pic that you would like to be entered into the voting poll as your first pic to save time.

They did this in a photoshoot on ANTM I'll see if I can find the pics from it. They might be inspiration.

Here's some. I hope they're suitable.

I think it's a great theme!

You can get a lot of ideas by looking at the mugshots of meth people as they go through several arrests over a few years. It is shocking to see the degeneration of good looking people into zombies. Check out this link here: main

Anyway, here's what I think are characteristic of a lifetime of heavy smoking:

Wrinkles around mouth radiating outward from lips

Deepened naso-labial folds (marionette lines)

Brow furrows - vertical from squinting and frowning

Sallow skin from oxygen deprivation

Yellow looking nails

Gaunt cheeks from sucking

Maybe an external electric voice box for speaking after laynx surgery for cancer

Basically it is a severely aged look. I'm 40 and a grandma, and I see so many girls in their early 20s who look my age or older, and I know you've all seen women in their 50s and 60s who look totally rough and haggard, and often that is because of smoking (as well as hard alcohol use, maybe street or prescription drug abuse, poor nutrition and lack of self care). It's all very sad to me.
