My sister-in-law Erin has linked me to what must be the most fabulous thing to ever grace the internet: Celestial Soul Portraits! An artist will do a “magical” portrait of you by taking “normal” photos that represent “the real you,” getting “your unique essence,” and “transforming” it into a Celestial Soul Portrait (his use of quotes, not mine). …For a small price of $150. But don’t let that bother you, look how fabulous they are!

I’m dying. They’re so horrible they’re awesome. It’s like Lisa Frank got high on shrooms and discovered Photoshop. I love it.
Your challenge: Make me your own Celestial Soul Portrait! Do a self portrait, do one of a celebrity, do one of me – I don’t care. The most creative/lol-tastic/well-done one will win a doodle from me.
The only rule is that you should link to both the before and after photo for the full effect. Oh, and from what I’ve seen so far, I think “your unique essence” has to somehow include rainbows. Use caution when “transforming” flamboyant gays – their portraits may result in blindness and/or diabetes.

Flamboyant individuals would simply be DOUBLE rainbow, all the way.(I have degenerated to simply replying with memes, apparently.)
Yes, but! Leonard Nimoy does it better. He does it -real-. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07…
Those actually look really cool…but I’d appreciate it if the article actually showed one of them up close. An article about art with all the art being in the background of pictures of the artist isn’t really effective. Yes, he’s Nimoy, yes we love him, but I want to appreciate his work, not his still-stunning good looks.
What does it mean?!
No better song to listen when contemplating Double Rainbows:
Oh my god, I just knew someone was going to bring that up, lol.
Of course you could just save up a little longer and buy Joe the Plumber on Black Velvet.
That has GOT to be a joke… I hope. Some teenagers were bored one day and said “let’s think of something preposterous to sell, make a website for it, and see how many people bite!” That has to be it. Please let that be it.
I had a friend in high school who believed in Aura Photography. Scary.
