A few weeks ago, voter-disenfranchisement expert Katherine Harris accused the press of “colorizing” her photos. Many readers of The Tattered Coat found these charges baseless. Not wanting Ms. Harris to sound like a crackpot conspiracy theorist, they set to work on some colorized photos in an effort to prove that her statements had some merit.
The submissions have been tallied by our team of curators, and it’s time to let readers have their say. You can vote only once, so please make your selection carefully. I promise you that no votes will be scrubbed in this election.
As British novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton once said, “There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth.”
Thanks to everyone who contributed. Voting begins below the fold.
Links to author names lead, in most cases, to larger versions of the photos, though a few lead to author homepages.

I can’t take all the credit for last photo. Alicia was the makeup artist.

The First Annual Katherine Harris Colorized Photo Contest!
I always enjoy going to the art gallery on a Friday evening. Last week it was a little shop on Pine and 22nd here in Philly, and I might…
Alicia:
Cookie is the mastermind, though….besides, you know Bart hasn’t worn blue eye shadow since the 70’s. He usually leans towards taupe these days…
mark:
I loved DBT girl, but somehow my vote went to Cookie, who was only my second favorite. Wahhh. I demand a recount.
iamcoyote:
I was torn, they’re all so good. Ms. Harris should thank you for the styling tips.

Wow. Incredibly beauteous!
SimoneDB:
I like the black Katherine. There’s a certain poetic justice there.
Ross:
This is a great idea. So when do you display the doctored photos?
Alicia:
I thought she was “Palm Beach Katherine”…
Lindsey:
had to go with the Dee Schneider look. Awesome
HelenWheels:
They are all so winsomely gruesome.
Ross, LOVE your comment. Ha ha!
PhotoShop’s craquelure filter and Tammy Faye Baker inspired my entry.
Libby:
Hooray, I voted!
I want a sticker now.
Janet:
Gosh, they all look so good! - I could hardly choose through the tears in my eyes! I think blue eyeshadow will make a come back.

[…] I’m thinking you probably want to get right over to Matt’s place and vote in the first annual Katherine Harris Colorized Photo contest. […]
freq flag:
So, um…yeah, Poor Man sent me over here to look at some colorized photos that are seriously disrespectin’ what’s-her-name from (where else) Florida.
I don’t see no colorized photos…
Agi T. Prop:
Nothing beats the clip of Katherine shaking her boobs on Hannity and Colmes. Umm, can I vote for myself? Mikhail’s sun-tanned version is rather creepy…
Donna:
I agree with freq, where are the colorized photos? I voted for Helen’s anyway but they all look like the disenfranchise queen. A real colorized photo would have removed all the make up!
Lizard:
Look - cookie’s photo is exactly like the bitch! The bitch that she is. Katherine Harris. Maybe she needs some Celestial Drops to clean that crap off her fugly face.

Russell:

Jester:
Too much fun without taking my clothes off !
Katherine Harris:
Wow I didn’t realize there were so many fans of the Purge Princess!
Joey G:
I thought this was a dental ad for why we should floss. If it is…I vote for Alica.
Summer Plumb:
Difficult choice. Each one is spectacular. Now we need a photo contest of Harris receiving her $57,000 check from MZM Corp.
DUMB_ASS_REPUBLICAN:

JeepGirl:
Wow, I thought when I first looked at these, that they were taken from her personnel file at IBM where she was a VP.
Perhaps they may want to add this to the IBM Museum of people who have left their hallways, to go above and “beyond”……………
Bill Campbell:
Love it. Almost wet my pants laughing. “The face that launched a thousand quips” ….or is it “shits?”
PS: She won the Floriduh primary with FIFTY percent of the Republican votes. Does that say anything for the Fl. Reta, er Republicans?
