Why Is "Toothy" Sienna Miller On The Cover Of Vogue Again?
Sienna Miller is in the new shitty-looking GI Joe movie, so naturally she's on the July cover of Vogue. Honestly? The fact that Sienna's on the cover (again) — and the story inside — is why Vogue is so nauseating.

Jessica Alba is in a Campari campaign shot by photographer Mario Testino, but it seems her normal, "real" body wasn't good enough. As you can see from the before and after images, the actress's waist was whittled for the ad. Because although she is gorgeous, she just doesn't have the ribcage-less hourglass shape required to shill alcohol! Click to enlarge. [Huffington Post, via Daily Mail]

They all look fresh-faced and wrinkle-free. However, as Photoshop Disasters points out, the reflection in the conference room table suggests a different reality. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Picture Perfect: Why Everyone's So Anal About These Magazine Covers
Hey! Remember when Sarah Palin was on the cover of Newsweek and Fox News got up in arms because the close-up hadn't been retouched? (Given that it was only last week, I'm gonna go with yes.) Megan very correctly diagnosed this a would-be tempest in a battered teapot, but the fracas sparked a discussion of the ethics of the Photoshop: Is there even such a thing as an objective portrait? What are the responsibilities of the photographer? For that matter, why should it even matter what a politician looks like? Well, says The Atlantic's Virginia Postrel, it's because "accuracy is not the same thing as truth." And at the end of the day, which one do we want?

britney spears womanizer
Photoshop Of Horrors
Have you seen the cover artwork for Britney Spears' single, "Womanizer"? "Artwork" is an interesting word. These images do not seem to be based in reality at all. Britney's body has been stretched and manipulated to comic-book ridiculousness. Her legs are miles long; her ankles are bone-snappingly thin. Her hair seems to have been drawn on; her waist whittled. Even her wrists are out of a Salvador Dalà painting: Surreal. The more you look at these images, the more you will marvel at the sheer preposterousness.

Christina Aguilera has a new fragrance, Inspire, and it seems the art department may have been inspired to give her an unbelievably tiny waist. Christina's shape is lovely!

Would You Buy A Women's Magazine With An Unretouched Cover?
You may have heard of a site called The Point. Here's the gist: You use the site to start campaign (get people to pledge money or do something collectively). You spread the word on the site by sending a link about your cause; members who support your cause "join." It's kind of like adding your name to a petition. The members don't have to give or do anything until the campaign reaches a "tipping point" of support. Once the campaign tips, members take action, confident that they will actually make a difference. Sounds good, right? Consider this: Clare Ondrey has started a campaign for which the objective is to "get a major magazine to publish an issue without airbrushing or Photoshopping the models in any of the features or the cover."

Me! Me! Maternity
Be My (Photoshopped) Baby
One could argue that a woman who goes to a site called "Classy Announcements" gets what she deserves. Nevertheless, the site's newborn retouching services took us aback. Explains Classy Announcements, "Blemishes and flushed faces are common on newborn babies. We professionally retouch your photos, enhancing baby's skin color and surface." Oh, okay. Because God forbid anyone should suspect baby just came through a birth canal! Why not just hire a pair of three-week-old twins to play baby, like in the movies? Because, let's face it, baby's really let himself go — can we get some makeup over here? And while we're at it, baby's hair's looking a little thin — how about a toupee? And baby's legs would probably look longer in some heels. Okay, that's better. [Classy Announcements] -

Behold! The September issue of Vogue, with shoulder muse Keira Knightley on the cover. What the fuck is up with her hair, you ask? Good question. Michael K at DListed thinks this was Photoshopped in that they "added some meat to her bones." Thoughts? It's interesting that the words "lean" and "fitness" and "lose inches" appear on the "fall fashion" issue. Vogue never misses a chance to remind its readers that they are fat. (Click to enlarge.)
