Demi Moore Needs Photoshop? Are you kidding?
November 18, 2009
Demi Moore. She is a celebrated actress, mother, and cougar. She works out, eats right and has an amazing body.
So why did the editors at W Magazine feel the need to photoshop one of the world’s most beautiful women?
If you look at the cover shot above, you can see that part of Demi’s hips seem to have gone missing. The model on the right is wearing the same dress and you can see her beautiful curves. Looking at the cover again, Demi is incredibly lopsided!
On the left (her right) she has a curvy hip and thigh. The other side? It is just a straight line. Normally if a person was photographed at an angle this could be plausible. But this is a straight on facing forward picture. Her hip has just been removed. Or in this case, photoshopped out.
Retouching pictures has been going one for years. No one would argue the merits of correcting some flaws. But this “correction” is actually offensive.
Magazines have come under fire often in recent years. Most notably recently Shape vs. Kelly Clarkson (covered last month on this blog). But W has gone to an extreme here.
Demi Moore is a beautiful woman. Why did the magazine need to mess with virtual perfection?
Did they just need to create a headline? – DEMI MOORE HAS HIP REMOVED!
I’d read that.
