Here's a little primer, fellas: whenever you see something "unusual" around the borders of the face in a pic, it means it's HEAVILY photo-shopped. And remember, if even one pic is photo-shopped, then you can't trust the others. If the others don't appear to be "'shopped," then it almost certainly means they're very old.
Case in point:
That's a mecianna special. Check some of merci/kitty's old pics (if they still exist), and you'll understand what I mean (assuming the foregoing isn't clear) about looking for something "unusual around the edges." If you see something like that, RUN (in the opposite direction).
