Looking at the before and after full length pics, does anyone else think she looks better in the before? In the after pic her arms and legs are very skinny.

She looks a bit plasticky. Sorry for the spelling. I think all airbrushing should be stopped. Unless you are very comfortable In your own skin, this sort of thing can give you an Inferiority complex.

No wonder young girls today are obsessed with the way they look. Personally I'm to bloody old to care about things like that anymore. My motto is, what you see is what you get. Like it or lump it.

She looks as if she is ill, it is beyond unnatural in my view. I would certainly agree that her arms and legs are too skinny, along with her waist line and her neck looks disproportionate to her head... as if it can only just support it.

She definitely looks better in the non airbrushed photo's.

My motto is, what you see is what you get. Like it or lump it.

I think that's the problem now a days, you don't actually know whether what you are seeing is true or not and as a result a lot of young people don't understand the difference therefore expectations are high for both genders and it results in things like eating disorders and pushing the body beyond what it is capable of to achieve such looks.

Had i not seen the before picture, I'd have assumed that was her natural figure... it's with the before comparison it's clear just how much has been removed. The way they lengthen her neck and thin out her head is quite odd too.

I've been pie brushed. It's added furlongs to my waist.

There are times where being able to award one "like" is not enough........

I've been airbrushed before... normally by those damn cyclists who have a serious MGIF complex, and overtake me with little room. I hate it when they're faster than me .

A virtual 3 stone off takes away her shape. Put her on a bike till she's lost a stone and she's good to go....

Oh, in the portrait pics, she gets her shoulder/neck muscles drastically reduced. What on earth is that about? I like shoulders, me.

I've got shoulders

She definetly looks better natural, she looks a bit anorexic in the altered pictures.

I have to say that I find you more attractive than an air brushed woman, Vern.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not making a pass at you......it's all relative.

Keeping it in the family....

A good bike ruined.

Are the photos of fashion show models on the catwalk digitally rearranged/airbrushed before publication? Quite a few of them actually look quite ill. A complete inability/unwillingness to smile doesn't help the look.
