think you look a bit chunky in a photo?

nevermind. Photoshop can fix it.

I knew photoshop was used a lot to tidy up edges, remove the odd bulge, take away blemishes, and generally make ordinary women feel inadequate my making other ordinary women look unrealistically beautiful.

But that's just scary.

My friend stompyboots put it best (where i saw this first)

Part of me is disgusted that we feel the need to turn attractive people into attractive skeletons, the rest of me is disgusted with myself for wanting to hire the video artist to Photoshop my life. Womanhood rocks.

absolutely.

I even said to a colleague, 'if only you could photoshop yourself in real life'.

Sad that we can't be happy with the way we look as we are.
