Almond bites alike

I read

The editor of Self defended the magazine's practices, saying that women want retouched images and heavier models don't sell magazines.

Do you Photoshop yourself in pictures?

... therefore, I think!

I do not.

When I read this on the internet, I thought Humphhhhhh that is soooo superficial. that was until I started to read the Elle Canada magazine of February 2011.

So I am at the Maple Leaf Lounge in Toronto waiting for my flight to Japan. There are magazines available and often take some on the plane with me. One, they are free and two, it's a 12-hour flight, so I have time to go through every single page. 

... and then I arrive on page 12! and what I see?? THIS.

I do NOT Photoshop myself, but I am so used to see "perfection" in magazine that I had to actually double look and this mannequin to "see" what was wrong ... and then I saw. The right leg (the one on the left in the picture). I do not know if a case of Photoshop gone bad or what but ... I would sue! 

I am so shallow ... sorry.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa !

Legs liek Rocky Road ice cream or ... these below.
