I want to thank everyone else finding bad shops, they really are everywhere you turn. Please keep sharing because I feel overwhelmed trying to find more in my spare time!!!

WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM
On Pinterest or any "Thinsperation" website you see this kind of image:

Right next to this kind of image:

It makes me want to bang my head against the wall. It simply isn't real.

Then you get the A**holes in the fitness industry, who are THE WORST about photoshopping, both low quality, and everywhere. Crunches won't get you that.

Lol anyone else read headlines about "how to get better abs" and answer in your head "photoshop?"

Good!

#9 Measure proportions
If you went to art school you learned the 8 head rule. One of the favorite things for GA's to lengthen are necks, legs, arms, torsos, in that order.

When they mess with these, funny things happen like:

THE BOBBLE HEAD

They make the head bigger to make the body look smaller. (she has been slimmed, but of obvious note is her cleavage, completely drawn in from that angle)

THE PIN HEAD

By thinning the body and shrinking the head they can give a long slender look

THE STICKMAN

I hope those pantyhose come in regular length.

Strict adherence to this rule will lead folks to think I'm photoshopped in real life. I'm just sayin'.
