Description This was inspired by the Stevie Nicks song of the same name. It randomly got stuck in my head and wouldn't go away!

You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot, but you're unaware how to leave

My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood, out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise

Oh, who is the beauty to the beast?
Would you die of grieving when I leave?
Two children too blind to see
I would fall in your shadow, I believe

My love is a man who's not been tamed
Well, my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
We come from difference worlds; we are the same, my love
I never doubted your beauty; I've changed
Well, I've never doubted your beauty; I've changed
Or at least I'm trying to change

Who is the beauty?
Where is my beast?
There is no beauty
Without my beast
And sometimes she says who?
If you know, tell her
Tell her now

I'd tell her now
My beauty, my beauty
My beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful beast

Thank you very much! The secret is tinkering with the brightness/contrast levels. That's really all there is to it.

It really is that simple. You just move the little cursor around until you get what you want. Sometimes I create a little blurry texture and put it on screen on a really low opacity, but that's it.

You should try it! I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Dude, first off, this is freaking gorgeous! I love the washed out colors and the stock you used. But let me tell you, I can't hear that song and not think about my retarded friend Vicki. She's obsessed with Stevie Nicks and made me film a drunken (extremely so) video of her singing this song. It's effing hilarious! She nearly falls off the bar stool several times.

Thank you!

That's awesome! If you ever have a falling out with her, post the video on YouTube! Muwahaha!

You're welcome!

Dude, she's a total famewhore! She would love for me to post that crap on YouTube, and I totally would if I knew how to transfer analog to a PC. I have several videos of that drunken fool that would be worthy.

If you ever figure out how, that'd be awesome to watch! I've been banned from filming anything at school because no one wants to get caught acting up on camera.

LOL! Yeah, no one likes to see me with a camera in my hand either.
