Why is Everyone Orange?


I'm serious. Why is everyone I see in print, on TV, and in movies is orange. Spray tan? Too many carrots? Can't be a white balance issue since the rest of the colors look OK. When I used to get color prints made, I always was astounded at the reddish-orange cast given to skin... One printer finally got it when I kept yelling "Paler, paler!" The effect of idealized media is so far flung that I actually saw a real live person with absolutely no lines of any kind under her eyes. Even little tiny children have these lines. Makeup is now so thick and carefully applied that it seems that most women are wearing masks...

On another note - I am moving. In about a week I will be without the interwebs for a few days.
