And I can't believe she went along with it too!<BR/><BR/>I think it's a bit of an insult to our intelligence...as if we wouldn't notice she looks around 2 or 3 dress sizes smaller!<BR/><BR/>It's ridiculous. We know her for her curves as well as we do her talent...what icon to curvacious and full figured women is she now? A lie...that's what.<BR/><BR/>Awesome post, well written, and good photos.

It's clearly photoshopped and our society is all about selling sex and a look that's become acceptable. Sadly I add to this look by retouching girls to be 3+ more inches thinner when they already are so thin. It's just an aesthetic I've grown up with and like to see. I don't think it'll change any time soon.<BR/><BR/>Just so I don't seem like a total horribly contributor to the problem, I do work on projects critiquing and pointing out the over use of photoshop and the holding it has over what our ideals how now become.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384244817047027124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260775635446432772.post-56021622796908173072008-07-18T18:25:00.000-07:002008-07-18T18:25:00.000-07:00I totally hear you!

And despite Dove and others trying to convince us otherwise, I don't think it's likely to change... But our awareness of our potential tone manipulated is a coup in itself. We all just have to try to stay informed and not believe what we see and hear without questioning it.
