[SPEC]Pics in Lil's Myspace

Curious about two of Lil's pics on her Myspace page...specifically, the two that have IG comments from the Slusho 7:

1) The pic of Lil with the cute young blonde chick. Hud writes, "How come you never introduced us?!?" This is on July 20.

...On July 23, Jamie Lascano posts on Rob's MSP the pic of the boombox through the windshield ("this happened after you guys (ie, Rob and Hud) left").

On July 25, Hud posts on Jamie's MSP: "Are you really Wiccan...blahblah".

So....could the blonde girl with Lil in that pic be Jamie Lascano -- giving YET ANOTHER illustration of different (multiple) actors playing Jamie (and the other Slusho Seven, for that matter)...??? Confused

2) The pic of Lil in the parka. Beth writes on July 20, "I took that pic."

Anyone wanna make a side bet that Beth and Lil were in Sandefjord, Norway when that picture was taken? Smile

I don't think the girl in the picture that Hud commented on is supposed to be Jamie. Doesn't Hud know Jamie?
She looks a little like the "Rob's awesome" girl. But it's probably not the same girl.

That's why I put that timeline in the original post. I'm saying that might be when Hud was introduced to Jamie....ie, *if* the girl in Lil's pic is supposed to be Jamie, she hasn't met Hud by July 20; but by July 23, they had. I'm saying that's the day that Hud met Jamie.

Assuming, of course, that the girl *is* supposed to be Jamie.

Thanks for tagging this thread Brittoniasm. Very Happy

On topic, I have no idea who those photos are. I'm terrible at recognizing people.

Your thoughts got me looking at that picture, and it might be MY booze talking, but the more I look at it, the more it looks faked.

Did they superimpose her on a bridge shot from somewhere cold ???

If it is faked, then it is most certianly a clue!

The photo is shopped heavily, heavy, oh god forgive me if i use the wrong term, is it rasterization? the leftovers from a bad photo crop in one of the programs. but it's there, plain as day. she's superimposed, and unless we have an Alaskan here on the forum, i have a lot of googling to do. but take a look at the rail again and tell me if im wrong about the lettering.

Good call on the Photoshopping, Hurley....I zoomed in just a lil bit on PaintShopPro and was able to make out the ragged pixellation around Lil...it also appears that the stone/concrete rail she's standing in front of contains the same pixellation.

In other words, they took a landscape photo of some frigid-looking town (I still think it's Sandefjord...looks more European than Alaskan...or it could even be Toronto, since Lil is from there), then superimposed a photo of Lil in a parka standing in front of a concrete bridge/rail/whatever.

So...is the photoshopping in-game, or what? Would Beth have a reason to fake that photo? Kinda doubt it....my guess would be it's simply that the PMs wanted a pic of Lil in Sandefjord, but sure as hell didn't want to spend beaucoup money to fly Jessica Lucas to Norway and back just to get the shot.

It is not Sandefjord because there are no bridges in Sandefjord. If you look there is a suspension bridge in the background...

I also Google Earth'ed Alaska and didn't find any suspension bridges there...

So the hunt is on...

I don't believe there is any Photoshopping going on in that picture. What you're seeing is merely JPEG artifact, particularly ringing artifact. JPEG compression doesn't do well with hard edges, like the transition from Lily's coat to the water or the railing to the water.

Zoom in on the image of her with the dog in the hallway and look at the edges of the dark wood trim on the walls - you'll see the exact same thing going on there.

Got a question Toasty. When you look at a digital image from a different perspective on a computer screen, isn't the image supposed to be uniform throughout? When i raise/lower my laptop screen, the areas around Lil and the scratches in the rail stand out, sort of a halo effect. Would that possibly be layering in the image?

I'm finding I'm unable to post attachments right now, but I did some checking of that image and I find that there are things that suggest it's a composite and not a single image. If it IS a single image, there is at least one very staged thing about it, and I don't mean a person being posed.
