[Planet Hiltron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitfluencer) is a blog dedicated to reverting the flawless images of celebrities that we are constantly bombarded with.

A kind of celebrity culture jamming which shows the true powers of Photoshop. Gave me a warm, fuzzy start to the day.

**Implications** - In a world that is increasingly bombarded with [Photoshopped images of "perfect" celebrities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ordinary-x-uncommon), it is refreshing to see a site that [debunks this mythological process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/periodic-fable). In addition to being a healthy reality check for society, it's also a pretty amusing site in and of itself. Needless to say, the folks over at Planet Hiltron definitely deserve credit for taking a lighthearted stab at deconstructing one of the media's most iconic techniques.
