man you only changed their hairstyle
Awfull
they all look the same except they have longer hair. none of these are realistic
Does nearly every modern woman have long goth hair (cf. Shirley Temple, lol), blusher, George Harrison eyebrows and lipstick applied outside the liplines? And what did you do with Grace Kelly's nose? - it doesn't even look like her anymore! As do some of the others - Vivien Leigh looks like Martin Landau in drag!
