Skinny VS Curvy

On the left, real and curvy Mel on the beach some months ago.

On the right, a hipless and unnatural-looking Mel in her latest lingerie ad.

My one and only question is… WHY????

Hmm… I wonder how come no one noticed that these 2 pictures of Kate in Parade Magazine were very different, in a “Before and After Photoshop”-sort of way. The differences?

1. Kate’s overall skin: Freckles on the left, immaculate, translucent skin on the right.

2. Kate’s beauty mole above her upper lip. Present on the left, disappeared on the right!

3. The black area under the left eye (whatever it is: smeared makeup, dark circles). Visible on the left, invisible on the right!

And I’m not counting the hair and light-related differences.

As for the full-body picture, even though Kate is very verbal about her “NO to Photoshop!” mission, I can’t help noticing that Kate is not that slim in real life (and no, I’m not saying she should be).

Your thoughts?

In a world where Photoshop has become as mandatory as air, this would be Britney’s latest promo for her new album Circus. You can find the cover of the same album HERE.

As for the question in the title… I’m not talking about the body, the body is fine, it looks like it belongs to Britney (minus the greasy / plastic effect on the skin, that is) – I am talking about the face. And the hair. The smile. The features. Do they belong to Britney?

Let’s see your votes!

P.S. I’m pretty sure that the hair belongs to Jessica Simpson.

Dear photo editors,

Allow me to ask: Do you love your job so much that you end up doing it (your job, that is) even when it is SO NOT necessary? Like in Kate’s case right here. You see, Kate’s got an amazing body, a body which besides being amazing, is also REAL. I’m not the only one saying so, I’ve got a website called www.skinnyvscurvy.com and my readers are saying the same thing (people, back me up here), while their jaws drop at the sight of Kate’s figure – REAL figure, excuse my repetition.

Also, we would really like to know why you attempted to metamorphose Kate’s hips from convex to concave, why you had to liquify (yes, I know the terms) her (already small) waist into something that would usually require extracting a rib or why you felt the need to take an inch (or two) from her thigh and use the same inch (or two, or three) to extend her legs.  

But I guess we should all look at the bright side here: a “Thank You” is in order for not going as dramatic as you did in the “OMG, that’s not her body!”-Jennifer Lopez cover. So thank you, but next time, please don’t equip yourself with as many Photoshop guns tools and start a war with Kate’s (or Jennifer’s / or Mariah’s / or -insert curvy girl’s name- ) curves. 

Regards,

Versus

I know you all missed skinny Heidi (and her ever-present Spencer) and her oh-so-natural candids – so here she is, in a Halloween costume that follows the already mentioned “revealing, short and cleavagey” trend that dominates this Halloween among celebs. And when you add fishnets and a dress as-mini-as-it-gets, then you just know you’re seeeexy.

Let’s hear your comments!

We’ve seen Tara in a bikini many, many times (too many?). And facts are, she’s looking differently every time. If you don’t believe me, check Tara’s (definitely slimmer) bikini body from a few months back!

The good news this time is that… while the odd aspect of Tara’s stomach isn’t completely gone, it has definitely improved. On the other hand, chest bones + not exactly perky boobs = not the most aesthetic look.

Turn the page to see!

OK, I agree that the first pic is a little cruel – but so is that dress she’s wearing.

What’s even crueler is the way they butchered Jennifer’s body in the magazine – wait, what body? It was a “copy JLo’s head and paste it on a size 2 body belonging to a model” technique, right? Yeah, I guessed so.

I’m not sure if I should use big words such as “offensive” or downright yell “Do they really think we’re stupid?”, but I will tell you that: I”ll vote for JLo’s real body with all the back fat and cellulite-full booty in the world rather than the sad, sad illusion on the right.

And now you’re thinking “Haha, so matchy-matchy” Well, at least she’s got an explanation: she was invited to a Pink Party. Surprisingly enough, Spencer did NOT wear a pink tie to match. No explanation on the glued-on-the-head hair, though.

Stripper shoes, much? At least she didn’t coordinate them with a massive cleavage.

I almost considered giving the title: “Christina, This Is So Not the Outfit for You” plus a bunch of racy arguments to go with it, but then I realized that I’m in a good mood and feeling generous – so I’ll settle for a kinder attitude. (more…)

… And it’s probably here to stay. Not that it comes as a surprise, since we all knew that girl and vivid red or fuchsia lipstick were going really strong, but it’s official: the Christina-without-THAT-much-makeup phase – was a one day phase. In case you missed the miracle, click here.

And since a vibrant lipstick goes very well with a low cut that reveals a D (sometimes E) cup bust, enjoy!
