Is it OK to take a lady of 40, willing to go through a session of makeup and photography, and then change her appearance this much?

In this lady's case, its a friend that has had some challenges in life and we thought we would try and let her see herself in another way. Bad skin happens to most at some point in their lives so that was an obvious edit.

But the rest, do you think it oversteps the mark? I know magazines and movies and every other media out there does it for paid models, but is it fair to the average you and me?

Oh, and comments on the actual photos are welcome too!

(And I do think she is a stunning person anyway - photos aside)

I have him stymied at the moment. He's stolen the Crown Jewels, in cahoots with Tippit, Hector, and Bumpy. But the Cat's Eye Diamond he took with him to England is a fake, and surprise, surprise, no Ultimate Power for him today.

I've hidden the genuine Cat's Eye Diamond here where he'll never find it, and he's come home, playing nice in the hope I'll reveal the real stone's location. Time is running out before his friends turn on him, and he knows it.

Here he is, contemplating his next move in our little game of chess.
