Kourtney Kardashian’s Post-Baby Weight Loss Secret? Photoshop.

January 26th, 2010

At least according to OK! Magazine, which grabbed a photo of her, photoshopped all the baby weight off her, and slapped it on the cover with a headline reading “MY DIET SECRETS: LOSE 10 LBS IN 10 DAYS.” Must be seen to be believed.

Ralph Lauren Doesn’t Know When to Quit

October 26th, 2009

Oh my GOD, Ralph Lauren! Keep your Photoshop brushes in your pants! What is wrong with you people? Earlier this month, an insane Ralph Lauren ad appeared, in which their long-time model Filippa Hamilton was photoshopped into a creepy, unrecognizable insectile creature from outer space. Hamilton was reportedly horrified by the image, and said “I [...]

J. Love In A Bathing Suit Again

September 23rd, 2009

Jennifer Love Hewitt is on the cover of Shape magazine in a bikini, looking perfect(ly photoshopped), with “My weight-loss trick!” next to her in big letters. Crazy Days and Nights has the story, and I’m just going to post it all:
Although there will be some trashing of Jennifer Love Hewitt in this post, my rant [...]

Fat Superman

So I saw this link in my referral logs, to a site that seems to be… Norwegian? Swedish? Finnish? Anyway, whoever they are, they link BFD in their sidebar, so thank you, people of Snorwinnland!
Scrolling down the home page, I spotted this entry, with the arresting image of a fat [...]

SELF Admits Photoshopping "Role Model" Kelly Clarkson

August 7th, 2009

So Kelly Clarkson has been photoshopped again, this time on the cover of SELF. From Jezebel:
On the new cover…the editors did everything they could to obscure what her body actually looks like. Her right arm is totally invisible and much of her left arm has been cropped out. A yellow dot strategically obscures the area [...]

Kelly Clarkson's Album Cover Photoshopped

March 12th, 2009

Remember when I got all indignant that Jennifer Hudson’s album cover had been photoshopped? And like two posts ago when I said Kelly Clarkson was hot? I think you see where I’m going with this.

But not only did they photoshop the album cover, she doesn’t mind. She even [...]

The Photoshop Diet

February 2nd, 2009

I now completely forget who first told me about the Photoshop diet. But with this trifecta of great posts about pictures and bodies collected over at Shapely Prose, it sprang to mind. Before I get to that, though, the trifecta is as follows (and each link is well worth a read):
1. Improving Aphrodite, a [...]

Inside The Jenna Fischer SELF Cover

January 23rd, 2009

I love Jenna Fischer, which is why I haven’t picked up that issue of SELF. I know it would just piss me off. I mean look at the cover: two of the most promiment headlines are “LOVE YOUR BODY SECRETS (Feel Sexier At Any Size)” and “LOSE INCHES ALL OVER (You’ll Be Slimmer In Just 18 Minutes A Day).” I think I love my body more because I don’t read SELF. And Jenna doesn’t address the issue of being photoshopped at all, even though it seems pretty obvious that they did in fact photoshop the hell out of her.

Oh Hell No, Jennifer Hudson

July 14th, 2008

Premise 1: Jennifer Hudson is hot. I think we can all agree that Jennifer Hudson is a beautiful girl. No matter what you thought of her acting or her role in Sex and the City: The Movie, she did look awesome. And curvy. And normal. Here she is at the premiere. Smoking, right?
Premise [...]
