Murphy’s law says that if your child is going to get bumped, bruised, scratched, or the impulse to suddenly cut their own hair, it’s going to happen in that seven day period before school picture day.

Would you photoshop your own pictures?

Many people object to magazines Photoshopping images of models and celebrities, but what about modifying your own photos? You may not like to see a

French Women Don’t Get Fat! Politicians In France Propose Airbrush Warnings

nospam@example.com ()

You believed French women looked gorgeous naturally, didn’t you? Quel suprise! Airbrushing is causing unrealistic body images and encouraging eating disorders, said a French politician on Monday as she proposed warning labels on digitally enhanced images. Parlimentarian Valerie Boyer and 50 other French politicians want a “health warning” on airbrushed pics. All enhanced photos would be accompanied by this line: “Photograph retouched to modify the physical appearance of a person.” Could you imagine this happening in the States? Should it?

This year, there’s an added wrinkle in the annual ritual of “making your friends and acquaintances green with envy thanks to your vacation photos”. Though, perversely, the aforementioned wrinkle is actually a lack of wrinkles (or the sudden appearance of washboard abs, enlarged breasts,…

Shocker! Kate Moss Looks Different Before And After Airbrushing

nospam@example.com ()

Kate Moss is hotter than ever these days. She’s killing it in new Prada and Just Cavalli campaigns, gracing the September covers of W and Russian Vogue, and recent business dealings with Simon Cowell and Philip Green indicate that the model-turned-designer is also entering into entertainment mogul territory. But the Daily Mail, one of the UK’s most entertaining and trashtastic papers, is always ready to cut a celeb down to size, and they love their Kate pot shots.

This time, however, they’ve gone too far.

User post: The Miss USA girls need makeunders

Has anyone seen the pictures of the Miss USA contestants on Yahoo! News? I have, and in my opinion, those girls need to have those countless layers of makeup wiped off their faces. The way they're painted up is ridiculous; many of them look like they could be working the street corner. How can…

Yay! French Elle's amazing no-makeup issue (and why American mags need to step it up)

nospam@example.com ()

The April issue of French Elle features eight female European celebrities--including Eva Herzigova, Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau, and Charlotte Rampling--all without makeup and, perhaps even more revealing, all entirely without Photoshopping or retouching of any kind. The mag's headline "Stars Sans Fards" translates to “without rouge/makeup,” but it's a French saying that also suggests a sense of “openness.”

Judging from the images that have been leaked so far (the entire issue hits newsstands later this week), this title could not be more apt. Model Herzigova, 36, and actresses Marceau, 42, and Bellucci, 44, all look refreshingly natural, relaxed, and vulnerable in a way American stars are seldom seen.

More enlightening Photoshop: Madonna de-wrinkled

After last week’s Kim Kardashian Photoshop debacle, we’ve been on the lookout for the Barbie-fication of celebs. These side-by-side Madonna photos are actually semi-shocking, because, really, even though her muscles slightly scare us, what 50-year-old woman is in better shape than Madonna? What could they possibly do to her to make her look better after working out for hours every day? Oh, right, get rid of the wrinkles and make her look even more like a robot.

Surely, most women her age would kill to look that good, but apparently her alabaster skin and crow’s feet can’t be displayed for the world to see. [Best Week Ever]
