Take a look at the picture, the one on the left is the original, the one on the right is the 'touched up' version. Amazing difference, she must have really annoyed someone to make them release both photos. For the record, I think she was on 'Footballer's Wives' ( A British TV show).

It makes me feel better... I mean yeah we want models to look great, but its nice to know they actually look normal. Makes us normal women feel a tad better.

ha i thought she was peeing at first....imagine if they put that in the magazine:P
on a serious note though its a little sad that some people develop eating disorders and loose self confidence because they think they can look like the 'perfect' models in magazines.........just look at her thighs and stomach......just goes to show shes far from 'perfect'

If everyone realized that about 95% of the photos in magazines, ads, etc. are touched up, then maybe this won't be a problem.
My sister's friend was one of the most attractive girls I've ever seen, but she felt like she needed to lose weight and now she's a size zero and looks very sickly. It's quite sad.

same with my best friend.....shes been depressed, bullemic, ana etc... and in and out of hospital for years....breaks my heart.....and the ironic thing is that she is just making herself look worse.
unfortunatly the pics just give guys unrealistic expectations and girls unrealistic targets.

Seeing a "perfect" woman is a turn-off. It isn't natural, whether it be eating disorders, plastic surgery, etc.

The heart is what matters.
If a person is looking for someone perfect in looks, they are not mature.
Air Brushing is for magazines to sell.

I personally think that airbrushing could give some fat loser the incentive to lose weight. Some people need to learn that "Big and Beautiful" can also be translated into "unhealthy and wasteful".
My post will likely cause a little stir, but the fact remains that the obese population is rising. Obesity is now the number 1 killer in America (sorry to the previous number 1....heart disease). Many people had problems with smokers becoming a drag on the health system; now fat people have jumped on the wagon (and broke the wheels).
Furthermore, I do not want to open Maxim and look at a bunch of chubby normal people.... what is the sport in that?
Keep on airbrushing!

That's a good point. Imagine if they airbrushed a fat person and said "This is what you could look like" - and airbrushed in a Greenpeace ship dragging them off a beach somewhere..... Might inspire them.
Can I airbrush my old school photos? I wasn't fat, but I had a few zits.
Guy, very poetic saying the heart is all that matters, but I heard today that they can airbrush the heart too. I'm getting mine done from the usual withered grey look to a big plum tomato red. Lovely. Now I'll be beautiful on the inside too.

I'd like to airbrush in a 6 pack, i'd like to sort out my toes too, the fourth toe is longer than my big toe, that can't be right, am I a freak?

Second toe longer than the big toe, is somewhat common, but the fourth toe??!!!
Yes. You are eligible for the circus.
Hammer
24th January 2005, 10:06 PM
Ok, maybe I should clarify, it's the toe next to the big toe that's longer not the one next to the little, that would be freaky!

Phewww!
OK, yeah, that's normal.

Ben let me know if they can turn a black heart and paint it pink too.
Good to know Hammer that you are not a circus freak, how much longer is that second toe exactly?
I think the woman in the photo is not obese, it is not esp attractive or unattractive entirely but she could probably benefit from some exercise.
And I agree with Don and think ultimately maturity rules where the heart is concerned
this is why I am attracted to airbrushed elephants.

on the subject of obesity....I travelled to slovakia over christmas (so good i'm going during easter) and i must of seen, what, two? three? chubbers. the rest had figures to die for. In my opinion not only do the chubbers themselves hold responsibility (stop eating and move around a little for christ sake) but food manufacturers and supermarkeks also share a portion of blame.
For example take tescos.....go to the cake department and look at dohnugts.....99p for 10 of the bastards in one nice bag whereas its 22p for a single one........obviously 99p for 10 is a bargin so they are bought instead of the single ones. don't let food go to waste so 10 of them are consumed instead of 1 or 2.
The cost of organic food over processed food is crazy and wallet wise ends up favouring the processed crap.
The amount of sugar, salt and other crap added to food to cover up the taste of piss poor ingredience lies at the hands of the food manufacturers.......
FYI the food in slovakia was fantastic, all natural.......hell in the village i was staying in every house had a mini farm in their back garden....chickens, bunnies, vegetables....mmmmm.......no wonder eastern european women are so hot :)

Jut, that was inciteful, well thought out, educational and pertinent to the conversation. What on earth is the internet coming to???
You single out Tesco's but you're right in what you say, all of the fast food places and junk we buy at the lowest price to save money is probably going to put us into an early grave, and probably with the amount of preservatives in it we will not decompose for 50 years!

Good to know Hammer that you are not a circus freak, how much longer is that second toe exactly?
About 3mm, not much i know, but noticeable, gonna get a chainsaw!
Ok, maybe not, i'm over it now, if I was to list all my imperfections I'd be here all night, well, a few hours at least.

everyone's so hung up on looks, if your happy the way you look then good for you, is there any point putting other people down on the way they look.!!!!??? its not fair, we cant all be skinny or target weight. i'd like to think i am not obese but i know im not thin but i wouldn't want to put anyone else down about their size, respect your opinions but take it easy guys, we've all got imperfections that other people would see as horrible/different

All guy's look for different things in a girl.
Girls should act femine and if the guy likes you, that is what matters.
Who would want to look like this?
