Photoshop's Latest Victims
Imagine you purchase your school's latest yearbook. You eagerly flip through the pages to find your own picture. It's there, all right. But there's something about it that isn't quite right. In fact . . . OMG . . . it looks as though your head has been attached to someone else's body. Someone who isn't even the same gender as you!
That's what happened recently to the students at McKinney High School in Dallas, Texas. When they examined their latest yearbook pictures, they discovered that outfits had been changed, necks had been stretched, and hair had been shortened. And that's not all. Thirty-four students had been given someone else's body. There were girls in boys' clothes and boys with clearly feminine bodies. One person was missing an entire arm--and another's clothes had been digitally erased. Her body below the neck was just a flesh-colored blur.
No one has figured out what exactly happened to the McKinney year book pictures. Did an employee get a little Photoshop happy? Was it all just a crazy hoax? Whatever the case, it certainly made the school year a little more memorable.

Kiki Strike : inside the shadow city /
by Miller, Kirsten, 1973-
my library account says the kiki strike book was published in 1973
wow. that isn't true, right? that would be about 30 years ago...
That's not the publication year, thats the year Kirsten was born. (My mom's a librarian, I know these things.)
Thats sooooooooo cool! To bad I'm homeschooled and don't get yearbooks...
OMG ANONYMOUS!!! THAT PERSON RLY DOES LOOK LIKE KIKI STRIKE!! Anyways, I'm glad I'm homeschooled. But there is a another problem: I have a Latin class with other homeschoolers and there IS a graduation picture.... Oh yeah Foofoo, my library says the same thing too!
"Personal Author: Miller, Kirsten, 1973-
Title: Kiki Strike : inside the Shadow City / Kirsten Miller."
when my parents walked by our computer and saw the picture of this post, they were like: what kind of website are you on! :) lol
Anyways... I wish that happened to my school. Lucky!
LOL, that's awesome. I bet it was a high school prank. Ya know, how graduating year in high school everyone does a school prank? (Well, not everone, but you get the idea) My mom did one involving drinking fountains and flowers. Live flowers.
lol thats really funny! I mean, is kinda mean but a pretty good prank.I do feel bad for the students though. They must have been pretty horrified...

oh, and other anonymous - She sorta looks like Kiki Strike, But Strike wouldnt be posing like that and I think she'd be a little less dolled up. lol

Lifetouch is the same company that does my school's photos. *gasp* Hopefully ours wil be okay.
Love the picture.
I wonder what happened...

Fantastic!! ^^ Though mind you, I wouldn't know what to say if my yearbook was photoshopped...
The headmaster would go crazy?
We'd get never-ending detention until someone revealed that they did it?
They'd recall the entire stash?
Nice artwork of the queen, by the way. xD
Hehe... Someone who wanted to make a practical joke perhaps! Well, memory for life-schoolbook anyway ;)
