But We Can See the Photoshopping

These days, putting Britney Spears on the cover of Allure is tantamount to putting Michael Vick on the cover of Dog Fancy. In both cases the cover models are effectively killing the titular endorsement.

    So is that "Clear, Radiant Skin: Erase dullness, dryspots, dry patches" supposed to be their explanation of the cover shot?

    It's actually boring now to see her body, Photoshopped or not. Simply put, the more I see her cervix, the more the mystique disappears.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find she believes that she actually looks like those photos.

    Can I take a Photoshop artist around with me all day long? I've got this zit on my chin and I have a client meeting at 3pm and must look my best.

    I'm pretty pissed at the magazine. Why not show the real train wreck, instead of doctoring the photos to make her look good? Is there loyalty to her on their end, despite the missed interviews? I guess now that I'm a mom, I think about these things more. What are girls gonna think when they are exposed to these pics? That you can abuse your body and live like a whore, but look flawless? Come on, Allure.

    Why did they do that? They are just letting her think she's still hot. She's obviously lost the ability to see what she really looks like.

    Now she'll keep thinking she's hot and force us to keep seeing her in those ugly outfits.

    All of you guys on here express yourself quite well. Send some of your well-directed venom (and even smart-ass remarks) this way:http://www.allure.com/contact/letters

    They certainly deserve it for reinforcing Britney's severely f'ed-up vision of what she thinks she looks like. Now she'll never stop wearing those hideous shirts as dresses.

    I sort of just assumed Allure had a sense of humor. I mean, when it is that much air brushing and is THAT misrepresentative of a person, well, it has to be a joke, right?

    Speaking of titular*… does she ever have a shirt on in photoshoots? Maybe it is to save on the bill of her using clothing to wipe up dg doo.

    *bad joke, I know.

    Let's just copy this whole thread and send it to them. I'm sure it pretty much represents what you'll see on other threads.
