More Photoshop Fun
Thanks to all the sites that posted my Candidate/ Cousin mashups. I had such a big response to those images that I see no need to stop the photoshop fun.
Back when I was in college, I worked for my school's newspaper as an editorial cartoonist. I had an additional feature that ran every so often called "What If?" For that feature, I'd create an illustration based on two celebrities who had a similarity of names. I'd take a celeb whose last name was the same as another's first name. For example, I'd combine Boy George and George Clooney to create Boy George Clooney. A pretty simple concept, but one I found very entertaining. Then I'd do a bit of a write up on what that newly formed celeb liked and disliked. So here goes that concept from too many years ago to mention mixed in with some photoshop fun.
Mashup #1. What would happen if you mixed sexpot extraordinaire Pamela Anderson with CNN host and my future life partner Anderson Cooper? Hmmmmm. I'd like to introduce you all to........
Pamela Anderson Cooper
Pamela Anderson Cooper or PAC is a dazzling melange of brazen sexuality, hard hitting inquirer, PETA supporter, friend of Larry King, and vegan.
PAC's strength: Excellent pedigree.
PAC's weakness: Bad choice in men.
Motto: Keep them honest and keep them on display.
Regrets: Boob tattoo and marriage to Kid Rock.
Mashup #2. What would happen if you were to combine our beloved President George Bush with singer, trail blazer, dj, and personality Boy George? Hmmmmm. I give you......
Boy George Bush
Boy George Bush or BGB is a wash of contradictions: An out gay man who thinks that gay terrorists are waging war on the institute of marriage and shockingly a friend to both Dick Cheney and Rosie O'Donnel. (That would be a fun dinner party, huh?)
BGB's strength: Makeup.
BGB's weakness: Coke.
Lyric from Church of the Poison Mind which didn't make the final version: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
Mashup #3. I dedicate this last combo to my BFF. I would only know about actress Jeri Ryan because my BFF had an unusual interest in Jeri's character 7 of Nine from Star Trek Voyager. She was a monotone speaking/ intergalactic catsuit wearing human who had been assimilated by something called the Borg. The Borg made her wear an implant on her left eyebrow and apparently a skin tight spandex jumpsuit. I think my BFF secretly wanted to wear that outfit himself. I combined her with my BFF's arch nemesis Ryan Seacrest. My BFF's dislike of Ryan Seacrest is so fully formed and fully funny that I couldn't resist doing this image. Soooooo.... what would happen if you were to combine Jeri Ryan and Ryan Seacrest? I'd like to present.....
Jeri Ryan Seacrest
Jeri Ryan Seacrest or JRS is clearly sexy. Clearly fit. And clearly has been assimilated by American Idol.
JRS's strength: Able to act interested when interviewing the likes of the Kardashian sisters. That's talent.
JRS's weakness: Cameltoe.
Occupation: Radio host. Entertainment reporter. American Idol host. Alien.
Goal: To take over the world one bad TV show at a time.
BFF, you're welcome.
There you have this first round of What If.




haha, Anderson looks like a tranni! That is so scary with the buzzcut in the front and the pammy party in the back!

I love these mashups! I expected George Bush and Boy George to make a less than handsome result but I was shocked at how scary Pamela and Anderson looked combined...I had to look away quickly! I would have thought Pam's marriage to Kid Rock might be looking pretty good now compared to her fraudulent marriage to Rick. I hope you do more of these, they are so strange to see and I love your hilarious commentary.

Mess with Coop's face all you want--just make sure you don't change his package!

Boy George Bush made me laugh out loud uncontrollably. I wish Dubya looked like that in real life. I would be much more interested in his state of the union addresses. Your genius never ceases to amaze me. :)

Ok, I want to know who handed out ALL the talent to you while I was standing in the talent line? NOT FAIR!!! I can't draw a stick man and you can create that fantastic mural and do the photoshop mashups! Your ta-tas better not be better than mine or I'm going to complain.... to somebody! :-)

Wow those are so funny!
I can't look at Pamela Anderson Cooper for too long though, I had to look away!
Exellence.

bravo! I think Pamela Anderson Cooper could find a soulmate in Sharon Stone Phillips.
