Participants of Worth1000.com contests have a lot of fun with pictures. Since stars are so obsessed with their looks, it's odd that beefing them up with photo imaging software hasn't been done before.

The Worth1000 collection of pumped up, muscle-bound babes include Keira Knightley, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron and Gisele Bundchen. Amy Winehouse, Clint Eastwood, and Jim Carrey were thrown in just for yucks.

**Implications** - Conventional beauty has come under scrutiny in contemporary society, most notably exemplified by the company Dove with their Campaign for Real Beauty. This pattern is a great opportunity for businesses to present their own perspective on this issue with a variety of products that offer alternatives. Companies would be wise to consider how their products have the potential to redefine conventional beauty, and in doing so, make a considerable profit.
