Many Years Ago There Was A Phrase,

that was often quoted,

 'the camera never lies' well have I got news for you! photographs coeyyyy/RED,

 this story is about a case involving a pair of social media idols who recently exposed themselves, by comparing the original photos of themselves to the altered ones that they usually posted on their profiles, 

 “After being secretly photographed, I haven’t been in the best of moods. That’s why these photos never made it online after I weighed my options,” one of the young women, who goes by “coeyyy” on Chinese social network RED, allegedly captioned the revelation,

 it is not clear if she asked her friend, who also appears in the photos for permission before posting the before and after photos, but I think it’s safe to say that both their careers as female idols are pretty much over, the above explanation suggests that someone was going to expose them anyway, so they just decided to do it themselves before that happened, 

the photos went viral after being posted on Facebook by a user who goes by “Ex Treme”. His original post got over 6,000 reactions and 11,000 comments from people expressing both their disbelief and praise for the impeccable digital editing skills displayed in the photos, some users suggested that the girls themselves didn’t have any marketable digital editing skills, but simply used some advanced photo-editing apps like Snow or Camera360, whatever they are, in any event, the maxime for today, 'the camera often lies!' well at least photographs taken with it!
