The Naked Truth Behind Teri Hatcher’s Facebook Photo Album
Yes. She did it. Teri Hatcher took it all off for her fans on Facebook. She took off her makeup that is. Of course, you knew this article was about makeup, not clothes
Now, let’s get to the Naked Truth behind it. Teri Hatcher, Hollywood sex symbol is a brave, bold, and beautiful woman. There’s no question about it. But as hard as it may seem, let’s try to look beyond her sex appeal to report the other part of the story. Let’s appreciate how smart Teri Hatcher is and how savvy, too. I’m speaking of being social media savvy and internet marketing savvy.
The moment I heard (not saw) the 45-year old actress posted photos of herself fresh out of the shower on her Facebook page, I immediately asked myself, “Why? Why would she do such a thing?” I know it is to get people talking (and looking) but really why do it? This was a personal event going beyond when Teri Hatcher appeared on the TV series, Seinfeld, as Jerry’s girlfriend, Sidra, in the Breast Implant episode.
The news of her 8-photo spread, spread across the internet a few days ago like a genuine Southern California wild fire in August. Allegedly, the self-portraits taken in her bathroom showing her in only a towel were posted online to counterract the critics who keep suggesting her body is a professionally enhanced “Made for TV” piece of work.
The Desperate Housewives star was apparently quite desperate to prove the point to all women that she is in fact All-Natural! (Like guys weren’t expected to check out the photos, too?)
Titled “Oy with Botox,” the actress wrote about how she was out of the bath getting ready for bed. She was thinking about all of the critics of her face. She then wanted to show herself as having undergone no surgery or implants. Her premise was to show herself to reveal some truths about beauty to make it easier for all women to see and know their own beauty.
Teri Hatcher praised Julia Roberts for showing a similar vein in her forehead in the new movie, “Eat Pray Love.” She also spoke of the magic of professional lighting that all Hollywood celebrities rely upon.
I agree. Lighting is everything in Hollywood. I also agree Teri Hatcher had an important message most women could benefit from hearing. Where I disagree is I’m not buying the claims she wasn’t expecting to create an internet stir by posting the photos. No way.
She has thousands of followers to her Facebook and Twitter accounts. She has a publicist, an agent, and more. She’s a seasoned and successful actress. If she knew people were blabbing about her experience with Botox, she is also well aware of what is being said about her both online and in the press.
Do you believe Teri Hatcher or her representatives have never Googled herself or has no idea of all that she’s doing online? C’mon now. Next, I’m supposed to believe Superman would have no interest in her in real life?
Reports say that Teri Hatcher didn’t even know the press could lift stuff and write about it, but regardless she is glad she sparked a conversation that brings women closer to self-acceptance. As more and more women post photos of themselves in online dating profiles, perhaps she has done some real good with her Facebook photo album.
Now, here comes “The Naked Truth” behind Teri Hatcher’s Facebook photos wearing no makeup. It is her “plug. ” Women can now check out more issues for them on GetHatched.com.
Then there’s the matter of Desperate Housewives. TV series. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that the TV series is about to begin its 7th season on ABC. The timing of Teri Hatcher’s latest round of publicity won’t hurt ratings one bit, will it?
This season’s newcomer to Desperate Housewives is Vanessa Williams, another actress who is herself a stunning beauty. I’ve met her when she wasn’t wearing makeup. She’s still beautiful. Maybe we’ll get a peek inside her bathroom next.
How to View Facebook Photos Without Being Friends
Facebook is the largest online community in the world boasting in excess of 400 million people, in order to see each others photos you must be friends but there are a number of ways to do so without having to abide by that rule, it does not avoid breaking the rules of Facebook but using the default settings to your advantage. In the past people have tried to say it can be done by manipulating links and what not but this is simply not the case anymore. The new Facebook privacy settings mean that you can easily view someones pictures using two methods without ever having to add them as your friend.
There are two methods that can be used to view photos of people who are not your friends. The first method is adding a friend of theirs on Facebook. The reason this works is because the standard on Facebook is that people who are Friends of Friends can view your photos. So if they have added a club, or restaurant or even someone else who you know will accept you as a friend add them and then you will have access to their profile images. You might think this is perfect to view their profile images but people often have hundreds of images in their albums which you cannot get access to.
This is wrong, you can easily get to these by opening one of the persons profile images, and then clicking the link at the top of the image that says back to albums. This will return you to the persons albums and now you can freely browse the users images. Whilst this might seem unethical, it is completely legal and within the bounds of Facebook’s rules and is outlined by their security terms and conditions. This will only work if the user has not edited their privacy settings themselves.
In summary, Facebook is only as secure as its users make it. Too often users leave their profiles not secure by leaving the security or privacy settings as default. Which allows just about anyone the opportunity to access their personal images which they believe are secure on their profile only to be viewed by their friends.
