Why do they plaster over women's freckles on tv? - Doc - 03-03-2010
Watching "Parenthood" tonight on NBC.
Not a great show so far, but Lauren Graham is pretty decent to watch... except that I keep getting distracted by the fact that they've painted her face with what appears to be a matte white exterior latex before applying the rest of her makeup.
I might not have noticed, but I'm watching in OTA HD and these details show up.
...
I've been catching up on "Remington Steele" reruns on Hulu and they did the same thing to Stephanie Zimbalist only they left her with what looks like an orangey burnt-umber oil base-coat so the freckles showed through depending upon the lighting.
...
I think freckles are usually quite attractive on women.
Do people actually get offended or repulsed by women with freckles or are these just examples of paranoid and overzealous makeup artists who think that if anyone sees real skin pigment on tv the world will end?

Kate on LOST has visible freckles. Heck, Sawyer even calls her "Freckles" as a nickname. But since you don't watch LOST, you wouldn't know that, would you?

Many women don't like their freckles.
Nor their hair.
Nor the length of their eyelashes.
The shape/size of their boobs, ass, legs, etc.
Sometimes I can't understand why they even bother getting out of bed.
:devil:

Mainly because freckles are ugly.
Could that be IT?
(just kidding. My wife is freckled. Thank God my kids aren't!!!!! )
(Just kidding again. I wish they WERE freckled, might hide how HIDEOUS they are ... mostly from my wife's genes)
(Just kidding. ALL from my wife's genes!!)
(Woah, I really stepped in it. I know she probably got impregnated by the milkman, so he likely had something to do with it, too)
(Geebus, what am I saying.????)

Why do they plaster over womens freckles?
Because they're evil.
They must be stopped.
Hey, did anyone hear a gunshot from the direction of Mini 9's house?
Nah, must just be my imagination... there's his wife loading a rolled up rug in the truck...

Yes. I have often thought the same thing. As a fan of freckled ladies, I say this cover-up must STOP!

porn stars HATE HD. Razor stubble, bad tattoo removal and track marks really show up.

Oh, you really mean freckles...I thought it was a euphemism.
