<![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors - Jezebel Comments]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors - Jezebel Comments]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> Hey, I'm a fan of Kimora and I agree...she works out and doesn't eat and it's hard looking good all the time. When you're trying to sell a product, the celebrity wants to look their best...she doesn't have to be model skinny anymore. She wears flattering clothes that look good on her. Loved the dress she wore on the Phat fashion show.

AuntieFreeze

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> Here's the thing--
She was in my town last week to debut one of her lines at our local fashion week. Her rather distinguished host for the day also was more or less relegated to the role of her minder...you know, because executives from my town are just scum on the bottom of her little expensive shoes, I guess. She was not at all nice to anyone. She was TWO HOURS late for a $100 a plate luncheon held in her honor. When she got there, she announced she would not be eating because she decided to get fast food on the way. Also: she IS pregnant and is not sure who the father is. Chew on that, Perez Hilton.

Anyway, she was so rotten to pretty much everyone that I honestly wish they could photoshop her soul instead of worrying about her arms.

bitchney

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Dodai: I guess what really matters is who has editorial control over how much digital editing is done. I would imagine Kimora would have to "OK" this shot before it went to print since it's an advertisement for her product, not a cover-shot. (But I could be wrong.) So for a woman to be perpetuating herself to be this image when she clearly is not is wrong. Or if it's the industry, then by all means blame them. If she looked like this pre-pregnancy, maybe I'd understand, but you're right -- she looks like a deranged Barbie doll here.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @odinsraven: Wow, while I was all busy typing my response and trying to make some sense, y'all were way ahead of me.

I think this post started out as a commentary on Photoshop, but because the person in question is Kimora, it can't really fairly be about Photoshop anymore. It's about a woman running her own multi-million dollar company who got her initial start by fulfilling some kind of Asian teen fantasy. She will never look 15 again, as none of us can, but I imagine she has a whole hell of a lot of identity issues resulting from that reality. And all of those identity issues aside, she has been told daily for the last twenty years that she is the greatest thing ever. What a mindfuck.

odinsraven

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Macloserboy: I'm not knocking anyone! The photos are from her perfume launch, hence appropriate.

Dodai

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @zivah: No perfume does not make you skinny, but the message of the advert is "Buy this perfume and you too will be like this thin woman!" It's not just a scent you're buying, its the concept of what this scent represents, which is the barbie version of Kimora.

@Alohamaid: I would say the person who is hating on women's natural bodies would be Kimora, not Macloserboy.

Triphena

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Macloserboy: I think I agree with what you're saying (if I understand it correctly). Although there are several assumptions, here is how I see your argument: Based on what we think we know about Kimora, one assumes that she controlled the photoshopping here - so it was her choice to trim a little here, shine a little there, etc;

Once accepting that she probably controlled the process, two questions are presented: does she really want to look like that (present that particular image to the world)? and if so, why isn't she trying to present that image in real life - maybe through diet, exercise, etc. OR if she thinks she is sooooo fabulous in real life (as she appears to think she is) then why does she not want to sell her perfume in her regular, every day fabulous body? She has no reason to be ashamed of it...

So, in short, Kimora - if you want to really look that way, then don't lie to me about it. Otherwise, what you are selling (your 24/7 fabulousness) has little credibility if you are making a choice to alter your image.

odinsraven

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> um she looks like a tranny in those "Real" pics dodai

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Dodai: I get that, but you erred in your photo choice. If she's knocked up, both you and I are guilty of knocking a pregnant woman.

MiseAmiee

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Jamie Sommers: Ditto.

BettyBoopster

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Dodai: But she doesn't have to is the argument. She's a woman in control of her own business enterprise with the power to say no to the forgery and present herself as who she really is.

Jamie Sommers

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Macloserboy: but you do have a responsibility for upkeep, because otherwise you're just flat out lying.

I don't even think that's what it's about, though. Everyone knows that ads lie, which doesn't make it right, but welcome to the real world, dude. Saying she has a responsibility for upkeep just really sets my skin crawling. I realize she's a model, she puts herself out there for consumption, but I think it's kind of bullshit to be all, "Work harder to look good," when you admit that, given the chance, you'd do what she did with the photoshopping. Plus, who says she DOESN'T have a personal trainer?

katekate is squared

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @ceejeemcbeegee (just debatin' not hatin'): I guess the problem I have with this is I doubt she's lazy, I think she's a fucking coward. I'm a little obsessed with Kimora (don't judge...I feel the shame) and she works out constantly and doesn't eat. I think her body has just changed due to child rearing and middle age. Also, speaking as a curvy girl no matter how much you work out or eat right there's a level beyond which your body just won't change. So instead of saying "kimora get a trainer" isn't it more accurate to say "kimora don't sell an image no one not even yourself can actually attain unless they were born that way"?

Alohamaid

Jamie Sommers

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @ceejeemcbeegee (just debatin' not hatin'): Actually, in my mind, this whole post was about why a beautiful woman isn't good enough these days; she has to undergo a certain forgery.

Dodai

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @angryblackgurl: Word. Wouldn't it be neat of a woman in her position of power admitted her actual size and legitimated it? But, no, she has to pretend she's a zero, perpetuate that crap, and give her beautiful little girls baby eating disorders. I can't watch that show because I start screaming obscenities at the tv and want to throw things too.

Yes_Tim_Gunn

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Alohamaid: Because it's a celebrity scent that's being sold on the virtues of this model selling it, and not its effectiveness.

@Dodai: But unless you show me a picture of her in her normal state, how is anyone who isn't familiar with Kimora supposed to know the actuall amount of difference between the ad photo and her regular non-pregnant self?

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Alohamaid: She's lying about who she is. She is a brand. The clothing line, the perfume, are all products under said brand. When she presents "Kimora Lee" she's saying: "This is what I look like. You want to look like this? Buy my shit." But considering she doesn't look like this for reals, it's misleading. Same goes for all celebs/brands.

But isn't the very fact that she even has the photoshopping done an expression of her dissatisfaction with her own body? If she were truly fabulous, she would just leave her picture unretouched. Plus, she knows people are judging her every flaw (see comments) so why not present the best possible version of yourself, rather than the real you? 'Cuz it don't sell prefume.

So yeah, it's easier to cut corners and get photoshopped than to do the work it takes to meet her own fabulous beauty standard.

I'm with you. David Barton has these posters in his gym of "him" and some female models; the David in the poster is model-handsome, has a terrific V-shape torso and scuplted abs. The real David, not to put too fine a point on it, doesn't look anything like that (more bloated bullfrog-like, if you know what I mean.) At first, it irritated me, then I thought, Hell, if I owned my own gym I'd make myself look my best in advertising, too.

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> @Macloserboy: I'd argue that photshop lies for everyone even if they are as thin and perfect as they can be, whether it's giving keira knightley more boobs than she has (chanel ad), or making the already thin faith hill's arms even thinner (jezebel's infamous redbook ad expose), or when instyle decided to airbursh bizzare-looking clevage onto already-voluptuous scarlett johaanson. it seems ridiculous to establish an "acceptable" amout of photoshop lying. I mean, if anything, it helps expose people to the essential fakeness that is advertising, because no one is as perfect as those photos.

It's like selling car products and using your own to push the product but only using only camera trick adn special effects rather than actually taking care of the car.

@SkipToMyLou: Is she? Then the burden lies with Jezebel for posting a pregnant photo next to an obviously pre-preggers photo because they're mocking it for the same reason. As far as we know, that's simply her covering flaws with technology rather than be more fit. Again, this isn't an average person; this is someone whose career has been and still is based primarily on her looks (and that include her marriage).

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> I'm so confused. How is she possibly maintaining that pose without falling over? Did some bored photoshopper decide to transform>rotate her ten degrees left so as to look more dynamic? Why would one choose a pose in which her legs appear screwed to the wrong hip sockets? Did someone look at a reference photo of Lucy Liu as they slimmed her cheekbones? argh.

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.

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

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> 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.

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> Why does anyone believe that a woman who is already attractive would need some touching up in Photoshop? I hate these advertising pricks.

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> 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.

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> 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.

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> To be fair, in the last photo she's caught in a pose that's notoriously unflattering for arms.

]]> <![CDATA[PhotoShop Of Horrors]]> 33? Yeah, maybe six years ago.
