Impossibly Beautiful

Jennifer Aniston, on the cover of the September issue of Elle, appears to have been in some sort of tragic neck accident. Or maybe a head accident. I'm not really sure. But something ain't right. They're clearly only connected by a thin thread of Photoshop.

Meanwhile, in case you've forgotten what Jennifer Anison actually looks like...

By way of reminder: Comments that try to suss out what changes, exactly, were made, and even comments noting that, for example, the removal of laugh lines because they are ZOMG wrinkles actually robs a face of its character or humanity, are welcome. Discussions of how "she looks prettier/hotter/better in the candid picture" and associated commentary (which would certainly make me feel like shit if I were the person being discussed) are not. So please comment in keeping with the series' intent, implicit in which is the question: If no one can ever be beautiful enough, then to what end is the pursuit of an elusive perfection?
