    • 2005 June 12, Clive Thompson, “Not Ready for Their Close-Up”, in The New York Times Magazine‎[1], archived from the original on 9 February 2021:
      "It's almost too realistic, too digital and computery," complains Alexis Vogel, a veteran celebrity makeup artist who recently worked on "Stacked," a high-def show starring Pamela Anderson. […] High-def is, in essence, a medium peculiarly unsuited to dissembling. "It's harder to change people from their natural form," Vogel adds.
