1. Stella Ellis, of BettyConfidential.com, put together a story all about how to stay hot when you’re hot (via Shine). It’s a beauty and fashion round-up that’s got a ton of gorgeous dresses I covet, and some very cheering words about being comfortable in your skin and whatever you put on it. The important thing is […]

A few days ago, I had never heard of Huge, but it occurred to me that we hadn’t heard from Nikki Blonsky in a while. Lo and behold, IMDB informed me that she (and Glee’s Ashley Fink) were starring in a new show on ABC Family called Huge. Here’s the description from Wikipedia: Huge is […]

So this is like, a blog/Twitter crossover event! On Twitter, they have “Follow Fridays,” where you tell people who to follow on Twitter. So here’s my Follow Friday for you–The Illusionists, No Country for Young Women, and Revolution of Real Women. Because these three Twitter streams (in addition to being consistently awesome) are where I […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

fat supermanOriginally uploaded by mo pie 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 2: […]
