    Did you see the cover of this month's Glamour? it has Kristen Stewart on it - and she's missing her arm! They just decided it took up too much space or something....I stared at it in Walmart checkout line yesterday for a full 2 minutes before I even realized what was wrong!

    It's all horrible and we need to stop doing it. What happened to keeping reality real?

    The boobs made me laugh my *kitten* off.


    I think she was much prettier before the touch up. Especially her hair colour and chest.

    I think the minor touch ups were ok, its when they shrank her waist and made her boobs bigger....first off, she didn't need it. Secondly they WAY over did it, she looks disproportionate...they could have adjusted her bust and waist without making her look all creepy.

    I actually retouch photos all the time since I do wedding photography, and I haven't had one complaint yet from any of the clients. lol

    Thanks for the link! Seriously some of the touch-ups weren't really that necessary.

    its nice when celebs admit they dont look like that d/t retouching because it does create unreal expectations.

    haha, i hope you are being sarcastic!! of course I knew they retouched photos! I used to be a graphic design major :) LOL

    I just think more people need to see the reality of this because I think a lot of YOUNGER girls like pre-teens are having their self esteem plummeted over the years because of the media doing this

    oh I definitely agree that minor touch ups are okay!!! I have three professional photographers in my family :) LOL but I just wanted to share this w/ everyone but yeah I didn't think the boob enhancement was necessary !

    I thought beforehand she was probably retouched, yet once everything had been shown step by step the natural way, when I clicked on the after image I was like :O "was that really the person I'd just seen before, she looks so fake!" It's not so obvious though until you see the change in such a dramatic way.

    Edit: The eyes looked really creepy to me afterwards, and the enlarged boobs were really unnecessary - she looked great before!
