I think I sprained something.

This Glamour cover of America Ferrara made me almost crack my jaw off the floor when I saw it. I mean, whoever photoshopped that picture should be bitchslapped. She doesn't look skinnier, she looks like a bobblehead. Not like a metaphorical bobblehead who usually graces the cover of Glamour, but an ACTUAL bobblehead doll.

And for those of you who were homeschooled, an awesome shirt. :) (I'm sorely tempted to buy one of these to wear when I go back to college. Heh.)

Yeah. I saw that magazine in the store the other day and had to look away because WTF.

Considering there was an Ugly Betty episode around this very topic I'm...kind of disappointed in the universe.

Moreover...I may be completely messing up my actresses...but didn't I first see America Ferrara first in Real Women have Curves?

WHAT? Why???

He puts it best of all. It's disgusting.

I saw that in the store today and didn't even recognize her until I read her name on the cover. a) Shame on them! and b) I could have done just about as good a job at photoshopping her (and I suck at manips!)

Even worse? She was in Glamour about...oh, a year or so ago? The issue with Jennifer Connelly on the cover. And they did a whole showcase on celebrating how hot she is because she has curves. They put her into this whole pencil skirt and cleavage shirt combo that made her hips and breasts look out of this world, the very things that the cover is trying to pretend don't exist.

even bobble-headed dolls don't have necks that long. It really smacks of "ur head is pastede on a ya"

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

YES, exactly. First thought that popped into my head.

Oh. My. Gods.

That's just...the only word for it is sloppy. There's no sense of proportion at all. WTF were they thinking???

Beyond the whole terrible message, and even the irony given that one episode of UB... that is such TERRIBLE photoshopping! I can't believe someone let that go to press! GAH.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, the grating thing is that there's one woman who keeps hopping around the comments of every post about the cover and saying, "You're all idiots! The proportions are right! Her hair's just big!"

HER HAIR IS BIG?!

*headdesk*

Oh my God. THE STUPID, IT BURNS.

Wow, she looks ridiculous. I'd be pretty ticked off, were I her, it's not even good photoshopping. =P
