Oh, that means you haven't seen the new Spheropygian adjustment layer.
With just one click you can turn anybody into Jennifer Lopez.

Within two years, it's history. Once you've sold off most of the
inventory, you'll just cut a deal with somebody for the rest and walk
away from it all. You'll send off one or two pictures to the lab to
get printed, maybe once a year, and call it a life.
