The phrase "warts and all" is said to come from Oliver Cromwell who gave those instructions to the painter commissioned to paint his portrait and has come to mean taking a person with all their faults. That phrase seemed apt for today's post since an Arizona woman went off on the school photographer who offered two types of airbrushing services for the 8 year old class pictures. I'm completely with the mom on this,what kind of message does it send to an 8 year old when their actual looks aren't good enough? and people wonder why some of the kids today have messed up self images. Never mind that it alters the reality of what the kids actually looked like growing up which at times can be comical but should not be striving for perfection.
