    You'd think someone with a shit-ton of money and a hot husband would have better things to do. Like shop and screw.

    In reply to Women Protest Ralph Lauren's Ridiculous Photoshop
    it frightens me to think that every photo these days has been altered. are there not any authentic, original, untouched photos anymore? I've come to accept that most models' and celebrities' photos are retouched, but what about photos without people in them? if I ever found out that National Geographic Photoshops its photos... I would cry.

    A man walked by with two very young daughters, carrying a sled and coming from the direction of Central Park. "They're right, see," he said to his kids, who were pointing at the protesters. "The pictures of the women make them look too thin. And that's not pretty."

    On one hand, yay dad for talking to your kids about it. On the other, I really wish he had said it wasn't "healthy" or something instead of "pretty". Because saying being too thin isn't pretty still makes it all about appearance and beauty standards.

    @cate3710: That is true, but then challenging the beauty standards on their own terms could be seen as a way of taking back their power. I thought the dad was very sweetly trying to make a good point — that these ads are ridiculous and not to be emulated — to his very, very young daughters. (If I had to guess, I'd say they looked, maybe, 4 and 6 years old.) Using simple language was probably a good choice.

    My only concern is that affirmations from Mum and Dad might not be any match for the hundreds of thousands of manipulated images girls consume before even reaching puberty.

    The ad models don't even look like real people. They look like fun house mirror reflections. This is gross. There should be disclaimers, especially for shit like this.

    @Triana Orpheus: That's what I thought, too--what an ugly ad. The clothes are "blah," but the way the models appear is distracting. What an ugly Photoshop job.

    In reply to Retro Photoshop Of Horrors: The Mischa Barton Hand Job Of 2004
    From the photographers:

    "When we met Mischa for the cover story she had Hillary Duff's hand to begin with! ... There was ABSOLUTELY no retouching on her wrist or fingernails!"

    From the lawyers:

    "It is damaging to my client to imply she needed photoshop. My client is fully capable of chopping off a fellow actor's hand and sewing it onto her own wrist. Implying she does not have the ability of Dr. Frankenstein severely hurts her reputation."

    Shit. It's not enough to have the best clothes, the best makeup put on by the best artists, the best hair done at the best salon, the best photographer, the best lighting, the best location and the best technology.

    Now the industry has to have the best Photoshoppers?! C'mon!

    Pretty soon there'll be nobody left to put Eva Longoria's head onto pictures of porno actresses.

    the hands seems disproportionate on Mischa since her arms are longer than the actual hand-owner's arms. and really, "we don't like your hand, so we're gonna chop it off and replace it," doesn't that seem a bit... effed up?

    I told you guys. The retouchers only follow commands! Their work is being determined by photographers and designers. (Speaking from personal experieince)

    Oh god, they did an absolutely dreadful job on her wrist, too. Like, there is none. And the angle is all wrong so that it looks terrifyingly unnatural (as compared to the original hand-wrist-arm combination on Ms. Duff).

    It's because people like Mr./Ms. Redacted have no hearts, so they're jealous of the circulatory systems of others.

    Geez, I would have sworn that it was Hilary who had been the photoshop victim. Seeing as she seems to be missing an entire arm and all. And seems to have been given hair extensions made of straw. Poor girl.

    I guess veiny hands needs to be added to the pile of completely natural occurrences in the human body of which women must now be ashamed and try to banish with surgery, creams, potions and weight loss. It'll need a better name, though, like cankles or cellulite. Or labia.
