After yesterday’s cruel unveiling of her pre-altered, not-so-skinny lower half, Kim Kardashian quickly went into Operation Save Face mode. She conceded to having some of the jiggly lopped off via Photoshop, but, she says, what celebrity doesn’t? Fair enough. Kim also claims she’s proud of her curvy figure and hopes this incident shows the world (the kids!) that even do-nothing pseudo-celebrities like herself can be both physically deformed plus mentally deficient and still end up on the cover of a magazine.
i think she looks better before, boobs look bigger, stomach is sexier, the after is just to perfect. looks like a lifeless maniquin. If you wanna see hot. I found a new chic named marcy diamond, she is on the major move! found her from a fhm blog. her myspace is myspace.com/ibehappy she's white and curvy as hell!
Looked in a mirror lately, kiddo? Your complexion is an absolute mess and your facial structure/head shape look like Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
"she’s proud of her curvy figure"
Then why does the FAKE WHORE have it photoshopped off?
Fake ass whore? You people are pathetic. I can guarantee that you guys aren't HALF as attractive has Kim Kardashian. STFU! You guys are jealous and it's sad. Get a life.
Photoshop is apart of Hollywood, dude. EVERYONE'S pictures are photoshopped. Idiots…
Whomever did the post work on her should never work again. The before/after shot should only be reserved for the client. Some much for professional ethics heh?
Photoshop, the software program, is ruining the art of photography. The program was designed to have mass appeal with one intended purpose – $$$. A teenage kid can pick the software up cheaper (via educational discount) than a professional photographer – which gives the latter NO advantage over creating the end result. Actually some kids are better at it than photographers which doesn't say alot. Turning subjects into caricatures like with the Kelly Clarkson CD cover is insulting. The limited capabilities of Photoshop however leave no other option.
I'm a student of photography and a great fan when it's done right. There's a company in upstate New York with their own software – not Photoshop whose knocking down alot of A-list celebrities and entertainers. http://www.iretouchpix.com will retouch a photo and I defy anyone to find the corrections. I tried on one that was commisioned by my employer which was extensively retouched – even at 300% and the work is undetectable. That's how photo retouching should be done.
Ico
Celebs have no say in what happens to their photos, and they are not the ones photoshopping or taking the pictures of themselves.
It seems like magazines are afraid of bodies these days.
Not completely true. I work for a public relations firm. Those on the way up have virtually no say in the matter. Established celebrities and entertainers have creative final approval UNLESS the work/service is done for free then not as much. The internal art departments at magazines probably have another year left before they become dinosaurs. Those are the ones that typically mutilate these images. I'm guessing tho, the one subject to attention in this article was retouched by someone hired by the photographer.
Magazines in general are following a trend which is that chalky blown out white liquid'fied Photoshop'd look. This will pass much like every other trend BUT the subjects will be left with time stamped images that'll never disappear on the internet. I'm sure we're paying more for the post production facility mentioned above we're using but the images are respectful and timeless.
@ John Taylor that beotch is nasty 'diamond' or whatever and get your eyes checked bro shes Latina.
wow cassie you completely missed the fucking point
Oforgodsakes people. Retouching has been done on folks since the dawn of man. Before photography existing retouching was called painting – the whole thing was fake. Then more recently, before photoshop, there was air-brushing. People want to look their best and models and celebrities have their livelihoods at stake. Would it make anyone happier if Kim had lipo surgery on her thighs first so she didn't need re-touching? It's such a non-issue, the only reason anyone even noticed was becuz someone flubbed and posted the before image.
Great body you have Kim! Keep it up – sexy and hot!
Cassie,
First off, I'm a man. I hope I do not resemble Kim Kardashian in any real way (we have the same skin tone I suppose). Further, if you believe that someone like a Kim Kardashian should really be getting the "you go girl" treatment, I would suggest some form of radical electroshock therapy or an experimental pharmaceutical. She has no real talent, is not as hot as many women I see every day at ASU (she's hot, not model-hot), and is marrying Reggie Bush so that she will continue to be relevant long past her "due", if she ever had such a thing. The point is that there are men and women like my lil' bro that work hard (or at least, as hard as a model has to work) to maintain their bodies for modeling and such, and who have never been photoshopped. They present a very fit, very attractive, very REAL person. Not everyone is being photoshopped (IDIOT!!!
) and those that are typically are hiding small blemishes. The Kardashians and those like them represent a very real failing in American society. Maybe before you type poorly worded comments in defense of a person you don't even know, you should take a look around at our failing economy (considering America is now a tanning booth / coffee shop economy, go figure) and our dying society before attacking some very real concerns.
