Gimme more! This is really an education! This is why those tabloid shots of celebs at the beach looking "terrible" are so shocking, we never get to see the real thing in print! I can't imagine what it's like as a model to see what the photographer "fixes".0

I know that sounds awful, but, there is racism still and we know this because it drives the market. Just like we are all shocked how extreme the photoshopping is. Bottom line the Dove "real woman" campaign got a lot of attention, but the sales simply didn't improve. There is no evidence women want to see healthy normal women, not according to the sales. And thats what drives the race war in advertising as well.
I wish there was more justice in that, I hate anything that shames people into buying. But that shame, gosh its a powerful emotion and we just eat it out of their hands.
That's really sad that the Dove women ads didnt generate sales. I guess we want the plastic white fakes since ultimately our dollars are what drives sales and advertisements...sigh makes me sad.0 -
thanks for posting all the photoshops. more please!0

Bump for sure!!!0

LOVE this thread!
Although unfortunately it's not a 'modern' problem - think the painting of Anne of Cleves which looked nothing like her ;p0 -

That's not true. In 2005, when Dove first launched it's Real Beauty campaign, sales went up by 20%. (source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesleadershipforum/2011/10/20/beware-the-hidden-traps-in-cause-marketing/) Quite a significant number in an already saturated beauty product market.0 -
Hilarious!

Just read both of these threads from beginning to end and couldn't stop! I knew things were photoshopped but just never realized the extent of it! How enlightening and empowering this thread has been for me. I will never look at another magazine picture without seeing it. Our society is pretty twisted.
On another note, I was feeling kind of down about myself because so many of the women I went to high school with seemed to look just incredible on their facebook profile photos. I actually thought I was doing something really wrong because I had so many wrinkles compared to them. Only after recently seeing some close ups from the HS reunion did I realize they had photoshopped their facebook pics! LMAO!
Thank you OP and everyone else who has shared!0 -
bumping for later!0
