I had been thinking about this, and a PM sent to me about my post 43 (hi, Pharaoh!) mentioned that Alyssa's name had been spelled wrong where it was scrawled on the wall to the left of the Charmed Babes. Having a celeb's name miss-spelled is a turn-off, but in this case I had chalked it up to the faker getting 'cute'.

So, for you, (other than the name being spelled correctly) what makes the best celeb fakes? What first jumps out at you that are 'make or break' things for you?



For me it is:


Firstly, the face/head:
Is it recognizable as a celebrity that you know?
Is the size of the correct proportions when compared to the body?
Is the placement/angle of the head correct?
Does the facial expression fit the situation shown?
Is the tint/hue/coloration commensurate with that of the body?


Secondly, the body type:
Does the general size of the body fit the celebrity?
Are the breasts too large or too small? Do they sag (a no-no for me)
Are the hips too wide or not wide enough?


Thirdly, quality of the image itself:
Is the image itself too small?
Is it 100kb? 200kb? 800Kb?


Other considerations are:


Does the background fit the celebrity's pose and whatever clothes being worn?


Do any other people or objects fit with how the celebrity looks?


Are there multiple celebrities?


Are there any words (other than the celebrity's name) in the image that fit or do not fit the situation?


As a bonus consideration - does the fake body have any distinguishing characteristics that the celebrity would have, like tattoos (for Angelina,Mel C, Drew Barrymore)?

Agree with all said above; so for me what makes this fake of Rachel Riley so nice is several of those points. She's a keen cyclist right now, the boobs look about the right size, and the head isn't obviously just planted on another body..... Only letdown is it's a guy's bike... But that also makes it slightly naughtier?

For me, a fake has to be realistic. All the points tsunami raises about head sitting right, body colour etc, all come into play, but the 'effect' overall has to be of a real photo in a real situation. I have to be able to imagine myself standing (or sitting or lying, or collapsing!) next to the celeb and looking at them. That's what makes a good fake for me - realism, ironic eh!

When this thread started I thought that the point was to have a place where these 'better' fakes could be displayed. There are, after all, Celebrity Fake threads in both Modern and Classic Celeb forums, but, overall, the standard here has been higher than is sometimes found in those 'generic' threads - I know I have tried to find the best examples in my meager collection to share with you all, and I look forward to sharing the best of the rest that come my way in future...

...and I will always try and spell the subjects name correctly - it's 'Edie Falco' and 'Jordana Brewster' - unless the posters were both continuing the theme and trying to be 'cute', in which case, fair play.
