Please


Oh, fuck, that' so fake. Why are magazines still doing that? It's retarded. Heigl doesn't look like that, we've all seen her real photos. She's a beautiful (but, bitchy) woman, but, she's not even close to perfect. Why do they do this? I really hope young women aren't still feeling bad about themselves because of this total crap. Us old bags have been around long enough to just be disgusted. I don't know what men think..maybe they think this actually exists and are looking for it. A garden fairy would be much easier to find than this lie. I am going to boycott all magazines that do this from now on! Uhh, I steal them from the laundromat, but, that' not the point.

That does look weird! Look at her right arm. Her shoulder looks really pointy and her arm could never be that skinny. Did you ever see that Faith Hill picture?? I forget which magazine that was...InStyle? If you haven't seen it, look for it. It is AMAZING how much they changed. I know the before and after pics are out there somewhere. Also, there is a website devoted to showing all the weird, anatomically incorrect changes they make-wish I could remember the name of it. You could get lost for hours on that site. And yes, I'll go ahead and speak for young women (although by today's standards, at 32 I'm not one!)and say yes, sometimes this crap gets into your head!! That and the vaseline/gauzey lenses they use to film anyone with the slightest wrinkle for television! I hate that!!

It's messed up and I think the photoshoppers try and get stupid things past the editors on purpose. I would.

LOL Valle. I hate the laundromat. Skankballs hang out there, like it's a singles bar.

Between photoshop, airbrush and other retouching techniques they end up making half of them odd looking. They try for perfection and it just doesn't exist.

I found this while searching for the Faith Hill photo:

Look at the animated picture at the bottom doing before and after.

My fat 25 year old self doesn't feel so bad now for gaining a few pounds after vacation.

"InStyle" is always doing crap like this. A few years ago they put Ashley Judd on their cover and gave her a giraffe's neck. Her neck was way too streched out to be human. I think Ashley even spoke up about the pic being fake because she was embarrassed by it. "Glamour" also put America Ferrera on their cover and shaved off at least twenty pounds from her body, then blatantly lied about it when they were confronted.

I'm sure there are a million more examples like that, but these two stick out in my mind because they both were so obviously fake.

Remember when TV Guide put Oprah's head on someone else's body years ago? That was a bad pic!
