Filters Make Everything Look Better

This is where we get to the disappointing part of Disappointing Lesbians: Cat pictures. Lots of them.

Have you ever noticed that filters make everything look better? You can take a mediocre picture of tuna salad on a dusty table and slap an Instagram filter on it to make it look like something out of Victorian Magazine.

For instance, take this darling picture of the Special Kitty eating cake. Cute, right? But decidedly lackluster.

Now, take the same picture with a dramatic filter and a nice, lacy border.

Vastly improved!

Here’s an even better adjustment. Nostalgia and bows. Everyone loves bows. Look, she’s embarrassed by her gluttony! Teehee!

Here’s a picture of the Special Kitty eating cake in the snow. Snow always makes an image look super sad and tragic. It’s like instant poignancy without having to go through the hassle of taking a picture of anything substantive.

Cat Has Eaten Too Much Cake In Snow

Discouraged by the inner conflict of a full belly and an insatiable desire for cake, the Special Kitty grieves her plight. I call this one, “Sad Cat In Snow.”

Full of Cake and Grief

Wait, wait, wait. This is TOO sad. Time to lighten the mood with something no one can take seriously: Hipsters! Hipster Cat liked cake way before it became mainstream.

Now here’s a picture of her just having been bitten by a vampire. Wounded and fighting off her transition into an unscrupulous creature of the night, the Special Kitty’s love of cake is quickly turning into a thirst for blood.

And now here’s a picture of our dog eating the trash while my back was turned taking pictures of Special Kitty. He doesn’t deserve filters, only shame.

All filters and decorations thanks to PhotoWonder. I love and abuse these apps as much as anyone, so the jesting is all in fun.
