jlo Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I know that we had a thread on this topic a few months ago but a friend sent me **this** and it struck me as being as timely as ever. I had a look at the comments and they all seem quite ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Did you see that photo of a model in the paper the other week - she had been so rearranged that her waist looked really odd. They put a normal photo of her at the side, so that you could see the difference. When MIL became the lady captain of her golf club a couple of years ago she requested that her photo be retouched. Now me - what you see is what you get (luckily the wrinkles are only just beginning to appear) and I'm past the stage of caring - but the pressure on the youngsters is dreadful. When I look at my daughter I am so relieved that she likes to be different and is happy with herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 It was a Ralph Lauren model who was reported to have been fired for being "too fat" (she's a size 8!). There was a digitally retouched picture of her released in Japan, which, quite frankly looks vile. Her waist is smaller than her head: http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article6874826.ece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 That's the one - dreadful isn't it. She looks so much nicer without all that rediculous photographic manipulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm shocked. I knew they did all sorts of manipulation, but she looked so pretty before they tweaked everything about her, it just wasn't needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
