Demi Moore is beautiful. At 47, she has an envyable body, beautiful skin, husband half her age, the list goes on.
The stunning actress is the cover girl of next month’s W Magazine. At first glance, she looks amazing, wearing a beautiful leotard and sarong. But on closer inspection, a section of her hip has been erased, making the lines of her body look… well… wrong!
According to spokespeople from W Magazine, the retouching was done in-house and nothing “unusual or out of the ordinary” was done. Unless Demi Moore is deformed in the hip area, I think these people are lying.
Is there not an editor at W Magazine whose job it is to check for these things before their magazine goes to print? Anyone who spent more than 5 seconds looking at this picture could see that something is clearly wrong. It’s like the Ralph Lauren ads where the model’s waist was digitally minimized to the width of her head.
I have huge issues with retouching pictures, and I honesty think that it is lying. It’s glorified lying that distorts people’s perception of what is truely beautiful. It also diminishses the our understanding of beauty when we see a real and not retouched picture.
It makes me think that they did it on purpose. It’s such an obvious mistake. But why would they print something like that on the cover of their magazine? People aren’t going to buy their magazine because their photoshopping peope messed up. It’s not like this will get them any good publicity. It makes them look like they don’t care. If it was a tiny picture on page 60, then ok – maybe it wouldn’t be noticed.. But this is the cover picture! It’s like the MOST important page!!! What if they accidentaly airbrushed one of her eyebrows off?! Or even worse.. What if they left that tiny bit of
hip in the picture!!!! OH NO!!! Can you imagine?!?!

The stunning actress is the cover girl of next month’s W Magazine. At first glance, she looks amazing, wearing a beautiful leotard and sarong. But on closer inspection, a section of her hip has been erased by an overenthusiastic artist, making the lines of her body look… well… wrong!
According to spokespeople from W Magazine, the retouching was done in-house and nothing “unusual or out of the ordinary” was done. Unless Demi Moore is deformed in the hip area, I think these people are lying. They deleted a piece of her hip!!! How is that not unusual?!

I have huge issues with retouching pictures, and I honesty think that it is lying. It’s glorified lying that distorts people’s perception of what is truly beautiful. It also diminishes the our understanding of beauty when we see a real and not retouched picture. The colours just aren’t bright enough, the contrast just isn’t strong enough, the skin/eyes are the wrong colour, there’s too much arm fat, etc.. It’s getting a little ridiculous.
It makes me think that they did it on purpose. I mean, it’s such an obvious mistake. But why would they print something like that on the cover of their magazine? It can’t be to boost their sales.

Good Morning!!! vickyc.me is one of the most outstanding innovative websites of its kind. I enjoy reading it every day. I will be back.
Hi hun, nice site! I genuinely appreciate this post.. I was curious about this for a long time now. This cleared a lot up for me! Do you have a rss feed that I can add?
This is my initial visit and I love what I’m discovering. Your blog page is indeed great to go through, extremely entertaining and informative. I’ll surely recommend it to my buddies. Yet, I did have a bit of problem with commenting. It kept giving me an error when I clicked on submit comment. Maybe, that can be fixed. Cheers!
Everytime I log onto this blog another person has commented a load of tripe (RUBBISH). When will we ever get any decent intelligent information / comments?
Definitely agree with what you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to understand. I tell you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
This is certainly my initial stop by and I really like what I’m seeing. Your weblog is so much fun to look over, quite compelling as well as informative. I’ll undoubtedly recommend it to my friends. Nevertheless, I did have some problem with the commenting. It kept giving me an problem whenever I clicked on publish comment. I hope, that can be fixed. Many thanks
lol a lot of of the feedback many people post are silly and unrelated, on occasion i ask myself whether they honestly read the content material and content before writing or whether they take a moment to look at the title of the blog post and generate the first idea that drifts into their minds. anyway, it is actually pleasurable to look over sensible commentary from time to time in contrast to the identical, outdated blog vomit that i continually notice on the internet i’m going to take up a couple of hands of facebook poker farewell
My name is Piter Jankovich. oOnly want to tell, that your blog is really cool
And want to ask you: is this blog your hobby?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english
im in general jumping all across the net just about all of the night which means I possess a tendency to browse a ton, which isn’t commonly a beneficial option as a great number of the pages I discover are composed of worthless garbage copied from different internet websites a zillion times, however I gotta say this blog is actually not bad at all and even possesses a lot of original material, for that reason kudos for splitting the trend of just simply replicating other individual’s blogs, if you ever wanna take up a couple of hands of facebook poker with me just email me – you have my email address
hahaha, I dig the makeup industry! I must be mad huh?
