Paul's
Eye Color
Another hot topic for discussion seems to
be the color of Paul's eyes. My good friend kazu, who has www.paulisnotdead.com
has a very good section about Paul's eye color posted on his site.
To quote from that page, kazu writes, "In 1964, Teen Screen
Life Story printed a magazine all about Paul. It contained interviews
with Paul and the other Beatles on Paul. Notice how he states his
eye color is hazel. I would also like to point out that he actually
states that his hair is black, though people mistakenly say it is
brown. This is important, because it demonstrates that people make
mistakes about his physical characteristics." There are
image scans of the page from that magazine posted along with this
commentary, and rather than be redundant by posting it here, I think
it would be very good for people to just go to that site and look
for themselves.
There are those who will say that "Paul's"
eye color was more brown and that we don't really see a distinctive
greenish hue in his eyes until after 1966, when "Faul"
comes into the picture. Under intense television lights (Hey Jude
Video) his eyes were quite greenish. There are other photos of him
where ambient light levels are such that the cameras were able to
capture his hazel eyes. And admittedly there are also plenty of
other pictures where his eyes appear very brown, or even darkest
brown...and forget about trying to see the shade of his eye color
in all of the old black and white photos.

| I recently
came across a few more images, one of which probably dates back to
1963 or 1964, where you can make a very good up close comparison of
his eye color. I have made comparisons with a cropped and enlarged
portion of the older photo with close ups from the Fool On The Hill
video. |

There are still those who will say that "Faul"
wore colored lenses to make his eye color match, but most comments
like this were made before we had the photo above available to compare.
Everyone seems to assume "Paul" had brownish eyes while
"Faul's" have more of a green tint. To further counter
the colored lens theory I have searched the internet, and other
sources, to see when colored lenses were even available and so far
I don't see anything that dates colored lenses before 1980. The
three images above are from 1967 and earlier. I seriously doubt
if he WAS wearing lenses in the Fool On The Hill video that he would
allow the camera to get so close because you would be able to see
them, particularly when he moves his eyes from side to side. (Can
you see any plastic surgery scars?)
It would also be a bit foolish not to take
into consideration variances in film processing. Sometimes colors
don't turn out the same between processors. And the above comparison
is made between a photograph taken indoors under artificial lighting
and a movie which was shot outdoors in a more natural lighting situation.
However, there is NO vast difference in eye color which many people
assume.

Other
Interesting Images And Fades
I will now digress a little
and discuss some other photos and fades which have been posted in
various places on the internet, both in support of PID, and in PIA.
I have to say now that there are some really tallented graphic artists
out there in cyberland who have produced some really amazing images
for our consumption...however, as I have already pointed out, some
of them have been manipulated to prove their point.

I just LOVE this fade on the left because now everyone knows
that the old Bill pic has been flipped which makes this fade
invalid. Notice how the newer picture of Paul fades "into"
the silhouette of the Bill pic, giving the illusion that the
hair and shape of the top of the head is the same. Notice also
how the eye sockets and the ear spacing don't match due to the
dissimilar symmetry of the shape of the head between the flipped
pic and the overlay...and the nose shifts to the left of the
picture...first it points at you, then to your left. Coupled
with the fact that Paul's features are now that of a "Seasoned
Citizen" and looks a bit different at sixty-something then
he did in his twenties, it would be quite easy to suggest the
overlay pic is of someone else. 2. And, of course, this second
one doesn't work either because of two things, the Bill pic
is flipped, and this particular Sgt Pepper image is elongated
and will never match with any image you put on it...not EVEN
the Bill pic in it's correct horizonal orientation. 3. This
third one just almost works, but the overlay picture never fades
in 100% and you cannot clearly tell that his upper lip in the
overlay pic doesn't have nearly as much of a mustache on it
as the fade would lead you to believe. Plus the top of the head
in either pic doesn't match and Macca's face is much fuller
and rounder in the overlay pic. |

Yes, Paul is calling it like he is
seeing it...STUPID! Again, there is NO WAY that Sgt Pepper
image from the 1987 CD will EVER match ANYTHING because it
was stretched! I posted the overlay pic here also so you can
see that Paul didn't have nearly the 5 O'Clock shadow on his
upper lip as that previous fade would have you to believe.
You see, it's that kind of little subtle suggestion which
will cause people to see something that isn't really there.

This
has got to be one of the most funny PID/60if fades of all time.
One of the problems with doing photo fades is getting Paul's
ears to line up convincingly, and that applies for both sides
of the argument. The TKIN solution to this problem is "Just
don't show his ears in the overlay". Yea, that's real conclusive
and manipulative. The spies pic won't match because the pepper
pic is stretched...DUH! |

| As
things evolve on the PID side of the debate, so does this site.
I have decided to expose more of the misleading fades and arguments
from the TKIN/PID side and therefor have incorporated another
page on this site in order to facilitate this action. I suppose
this site could grow even more in the future as the insanity
continues. I'm totally amazed at how something that has been
around so long continues to fester in the ways that it does.
Even more amazing to me is how many very young people who were
not even thought of as far back as 1970 have joined in on the
debate on both sides...some of them have even been instigators.
That's quite alright because as long as young people are taking
an active interest in this debate, there will always be enough
of us who were around during the time the Beatles enjoyed their
most success who have insights to share with them to help them
realize the truth of the matter. There are some very bright
young people getting in on the debate, too! |
