33? Yeah, maybe six years ago.

To be fair, in the last photo she's caught in a pose that's notoriously unflattering for arms.

Wow. Can I hire those people? I've been wanting a chin for years.

FIBulosity.

That second picture cracked my shit up. She is so over it.

Kimora IS a walking Photoshop of Horrors.

that is the arm of a tiny malnourished child with rickets.

I cannot, will not front: if I had control of how my image was used to sell my product, it would be no different. I simply have my head put on body of Michelangelo's David and given a bigger wang and I wouldn't fucking apologize for it.

But if I had her money and was using my body to sell shit, I'd at least get a personal trainer. Yoga can only do so much.

Abnormally thin forearms (see also, mine, attached to previously mentioned delicate wrists) are no laughing matter. WHY would you PHOTOSHOP THEM to look that freakish.

FUGulosity?

she's only 33? why did I think she was so much older?

The neck creases are so E.T.

The second photo is so hilarious.

Why does anyone believe that a woman who is already attractive would need some touching up in Photoshop? I hate these advertising pricks.

I'm all for using your powers to make yourself look as good as you can but, since she owns the company she could stand up for woman who aren't a size 0 (like herself) and have them use a flattering but realistic photo of her.

@tallyhoe: I dunno what planet YOU live on, but here on earth, people age and shit like that happens.

@Macloserboy: "But if I had her money and was using my body to sell shit, I'd at least get a personal trainer. Yoga can only do so much."

... ... seriously, dude? We're going there? Really?

Haha. Nice work. It's so true!

I get that they're doing a perfume ad--but why Photoshop her to look like a painting or a cartoon?

Is it just me, or does it seem like until this year (or maybe last year), the retouchers at least kept up pretenses? Now they're like, fuck it. Everyone knows. Let's just go all out.

@Macloserboy: But if I had her money and was using my body to sell shit, I'd at least get a personal trainer. Yoga can only do so much.

That is not the kind of comment I'm used to from you. Sad.

Wait... I just remembered that she's pregnant. Maybe her excuse is airbrushing away the pregnancy weight?

I think Kimora probably stood over the photoshopper's shoulder instructing until it looked just FABULOUS enough. And Shiny.
Also, now I have that scene in Troop Beverly Hills, where the girl who's dad is a boxer is walking around in Phyllis's robe pretending to be her saying FAAAABULOOOUS, stuck in my head. Love it.

@NefariousNewt: I'm sure she was standing behind the PhotoShopper the whole time.
"I said thinner wrists! THINNER!"

There was a girl in my HS who broke the growth plate(?) in her arm as a child and so she grew and developed a normal adult-size body around this child-arm and it looked exactly like this picture.

So not only should we starve ourselves rail-thin, get rid of our out-of-style boobs, we should also endeavor to cause harm to our bones to keep them from growing?

This season: boobs: out. withered arms: in.

@Macloserboy: You know she's pregnant, right? And thin and pretty too? You can see her, yes?

arm flabulosity.

(Sorry! She's not fat. But she is a horrible evil human being)

The second picture is hilarious. It makes her look like a wicked stepmother.

@miele: Is she actually preggers? I thought that was just a rumor.

@LaComtesse: Seconded!

No wait, thirded. For sure.

You know, I got no real problem with taking out a dark under-eye circle, removing a zit, maybe shaving off the pooch that came because you're totes PMSing, but stop with the shaving off 20 pounds!

Besides, I'd more likely buy from the bitchface real lady - cause that fragrance would smell of Women Who Don't Take No Shit.

as over the top as kimora is, i do think she's a gorgeous woman... and the woman in the ad is very pretty too, but seriously does not look like the same person

@LaComtesse: Yeah. @Macloserboy: Dude, what does that even mean, "yoga can only do so much." Are we requiring that all who can afford it look like emaciated, homogeneous size zeros?

Dude - she is pretty, but girl is not looking too hot in those photos. Also, that left arm is frightening!

@miele: From her current and past pregnancies combined?

@zivah: Yes. Yes yes yes. They may as well have posed Barbie dolls on the covers and the ads these days. Especially Maxim and other lad mags. They look flippin ridic. Like shiny, homogeneous, plastic blow-up dolls. SO very shiny.

(Also - I just wanted to point out a new personal low. I'm commenting on this despite the fact that I have NO idea who this woman is.)

Somewhere, Leonardo da Vinci is doing 360s in his grave at how out of proportion all these Photoshop jobs are.

@SkipToMyLou: I think the pictures of her at recent events triggered the pregnancy rumors, which she has since denied. Could she still be? Maybe. But if you watch Kimora throughout the years, you know her weight is always up and down, like Mariah.

I definitely feel like they shrunk her head too. I have a big ole noggin so I can sympathize, but damn she's looking a little like a lollipop in the ad.

Why do they even bother pretending to take pictures of an actual person in the first place?

i don't think her arm looks sculpted. it just looks skinny.

@wildflowerpower: comment of the day!

Those neck rings - they're actually called "Venus rings" in art history circles, and were considered highly desirable and a sign of beauty - can't remember if it was actually ancient Greece and Rome or the Renaissance, but there you go.

Can I be photoshopped?

Photoshop allows the user to turn anyone, even the most glamorous, into a cartoon character. Imagine: pipe-stem arms, eyes one-third the size of your head, forearms larger than your torso, breasts that put your center of gravity around your neck somehwere, and a nose that is a perfect sphere. Ah, technology!!!

I'm a little more concerned about the excessive real-life collagen in her lips, totally visible in the bored-to-tears-at-her-own-launch photo.

@katekate: I'll let him speak for himself, but honestly, I took his comment as here's a woman who's putting an ad out there using her body, and instead of exercising to look the way her ad is, she's Photoshopped it. Like, if you had the money she had, instead of what is essentially lying, just do the work to look that good. She obviously thinks her body isn't good enough for the print ad, because it was edited to look thinner and younger. Personally, I'd rather just see her. The ad has her way too thin, and completely unrealistic.

@hellavator: Certainly, though I only have Photoshop Elements on my machine at home, so I can't do much more than manip you into say, Carol Burnett.

Oh god, her fragrance is called Fabulosity? I didn't even notice that. Enough already.

@WhateverCraig: I really hope you're right!

@zivah: haha. I think you're right. Even my friends who have no "eye" for photoshopping can tell when something is fake now!

@WifeMotherCrip: I'm ashamed to say I saw that Page Six confirmed the rumor last week.

That ad is awful - the two forearms aren't even CLOSE to matching - that's really my biggest annoyance with it. I understand photoshopping because it's an ad meant to sell things under the pretense that wearing the perfume will make you pretty, but at least do a GOOD photoshop job.

Either way she's beautiful.
