I've been told by many people that Photoshop is the gold standard.

ITA! When she was here, she drifted from one challenge group to the other trying to fit in. The problem was, she never fit in anywhere because she wanted to be the big cheese, to be admired, to be looked up to. I ask you, what's to look up to? Rude, obnoxious, no personality, a brown-nosing suck-up if ever there was one. As for the money, what is a little to some is a lot to others. I'd guess that based on what she has, the money looks pretty good to her.

ETA: I am so glad that the rest of the board is finally seeing her for what she is. Everyone now knows what several of the challenge groups knew over a year ago. We were the bad guys for kicking her out of our group, but now we're not looking so stupid anymore.

I'm testing out my crystal ball. The whole dream analyst business seems to be on the decrease in sales due to insomnia.

No - not Craig (selling mattresses) with Heidi It's my other Brian who lives in England..... No more dreams lately - at least not about Heidi..

No they weren't on the original pictures - but when enlarged you sure could see the shadowing around the heads.

If Kimmer wasn't so shy, she would probably be able to handle any questions - like the good sociopath she is. But TT and SL, on the other hand, don't seem to be "sharp" enough to handle it.

Maybe they will interview Heidi via phone the way Jimmy Moore did previously. We did notice on the M&J website that the preview or headline on Monday's show is "singular" - so they are just going to focus on the Kimkins diet scam. No others to confuse the audience.

It seems that couples that are dating seriously put down they are "married" on the my space layouts. Isn't that crazy?

Yes, you can do the same stuff with PSP. Sometimes the tools have different names than Photoshop, so you have to kind of hunt around for them.

Hideykins is an expert at finding your weak spot and massaging it and using it against you and manipulating TT would be easy. And she knows that ANY publicity is good publicity when it comes to fools and their money parting. She knows there will be enough desperate souls watching to part with $60 even as she throws TT under the bus. I mean TT is expendable but cash is cash right?

I agree~ that's what makes a good scammer good~ the ability to find a mark's weakness and exploit it.

Having said that I really do not believe TT is that stupid to be on the show. I think she will disappear for the weekend, return angry and rally the loyal but weakened from hunger and confused troops at KK and tell them it was an ambush and at the last minute she withdrew rather than subject KK to that kind of hatred.

I'm having doubts that she was actually invited~ M&J have professionals discussing these scams~ what can TT offer? *But it works*? Well sure~ any crash diet works~ but the long term is what is being questioned. Probably the phony 'success stories' too~

Based on the slant of what I've seen so far, Tippy has no place in this discussion. I can't see her anywhere in it except on the hot seat, KWIM?

Don't forget Tippy is the PR director for the program so yes she has a place on the show. Afterall how can it be fair and balanced if no rep from the plan is allowed??????

I have paintshop pro, but it's an old version - version 6. They've been pretty much keeping up with Photoshop as far as enhancements, though. BTW, Paint Shop Pro, which used to be made by Jasc, is now a Corel product.

Well maybe TT and SL aren't even going to be ON the show, only AT the show ???

[conbofan9]

my take on Tippy going Hollywood...I mean New York;

She is slim now ( according to her bikini pic), so she wants to go show off saying she lost all that weight on kimkims and that it works....audience will think she really did it on THAT diet. But bottom line,
- she wants to be on TV!! . Come on folks, from what everyone knows about her, and her character...I think she is seriously excited about being on TV and NOT thinking what is really going on. She will probably bring a before picture of herself, and say what scam? can you see what I look like? how can you say this is a scam?....now, what the show is going to do or say is anyone's guess, but from the way they mentioned monday's show, and there is only 1 guest on, its probably goging to be a big 30 mins of kimkims debate.....hmmm, wonder if its going to get rawdy like this morning at one point with Jerlado or if its going to be more like a Jerry Springer kinda thing! Deni should pull Tippy by the hair and pull some out!....payback honey!!

Yes, we all know what kind of people will go on camera for any reason at all - just to appear on TV. Yikes! Can Jerry Springer be far behind?

I've got PSP XI (haven't sprung for the latest version yet) and it is comparable to Photoshop in what it can do, for sure...but it's way cheaper. I do have Photoshop, but I find PSP easier to use (though maybe it's just a familiarity thing).

That said, the pic of that guy could have easily been Photoshopped. The background in the second (after) pic looks altered, and it is an identical pose. That's just virtually impossible. Or, should I say, possible only virtually?

Seriously, no one can deny that KK works for weight loss. So does the concentration camp "diet". I hope the producers will keep the focus not on whether or not you can lose weight on 800 calories a day, "eating" multivitamins and guzzling MOM, but on the FRAUD that was perpetrated not only online, but in the Women's World "artical". That is the real story, not whether or not you can achieve results eating the way they tell you to.

I went back and looked thru Kimmer's post and hers are still there for that time frame.
Maybe someone (on the show) should ask Tippy why she felt it necessary to delete a year's worth of posts. Especially if she has nothing to hide. Just a thought.

That was when she was here at LCF. But good observation MJR.
Here is how it can be used........
"If kimkins is such a wonderful, supportive forum, filled with great advice, then how d you explain your absence from 9/2006 -9/2007 and as SCREEN SHOTS show go to a FREE weightloss board Mrs.TippyToes?"
My answer for her would be that she wanted the attention, like Magicsmom has said and others as well, she admires Kimmer but it jealous of her getting support and "fans". Tippy Toes thought she could maybe do what Kimmer had done and come to LCF to gather some support. The only thing that TT didn't understand is that Kimmer is light years ahead of her in marketing skills and let's face it charisma.

I saw that Cjane answered that one and knows so much more about it then me. But I will say that there are many who say photoshop is a program that continues to amaze them with what it can do.... I have the program on my PC in the office but not on my laptop. I always use my laptop, so due to laziness I have not experimented much with the program.

I just love that line! I know the wording of the post is Kimmer and you guys who know the photo programs say the pic is manipulated, then all I can say is
........bahaaahaaaa........BUSTED AGAIN.................................
