I see your point in this one. Got rid of all that cottage cheese.

Some I can see a big change, others no so much. Halle Berry is a 10 no matter what.

Same. Some are kinda bad, others no so much,

Why is it only black chicks?
 
Good thing.... Angelina is overated. Can't stand looking at those heroin arms. :barf:

:lol: i was referring to the work Angelina does to make the world a better place. you can't judge people with the eye alone. well you can, but then you just get a bunch of airbrushed bullshit. unfortunately that is enough for too many people. the person that would poop on beyonces unaltered pics, or any of these other women are what fuels this stupidity. you have a beautiful woman reflected in your lens and you are going to tell the whole world, including her, that she is not good enough by altering out her "defect" that's bullshit. real is beautiful. plastic is just pathetic self deception fed to a willing moronic mass of people too stupid to demand it stop.
 
Why is it only black chicks?

they were just predominant on that site. my point is these women are beautiful without the "defects" some idiots would reject them for. i wonder how they feel when they see the real them deemed unworthy of some glossy pics in a magazine? real women, even beautiful ones, are disgusting is the message this seems to convey....

it is common to worship beauty but that worship has become a sickness that corrupts even the beauty itself. maybe what is common isn't always best not when it has become something so twisted that a beautiful woman herself is unacceptable as she is. :rolleyes:
 
I photoshopped pictures for a luxury car website I did, most of the time I would have to take the pictures during bad times of the day due to the availabilty and the Sun would wash the picture out or cause shadows that made them look weird....I could see some of that happening for some of the pics.....photography is a pure art form and a good one should be able to get the shot they need without touching it up later, but you have to think these guys working for the fashion mags probably aren't the most artistic so in order to make the mag pics more alluring they have to do some retouching of their originals...

You also have to take into consideration the effects of mass printing on how images come out....some times if the pic isn't smoothed over the picture will come out looking terrible at print time....

Not making excuses for anyone just adding a little bit of perspective...
 
fixing the color n contrast so on i can see but changing a black womans eyes to blue is just cruel... taking 4 inches off the waist of this woman???

http://www.glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio23.html why?

n seriously how many guys here have perfectly nice girlfriends but still like to spend some personal time with pics that are tweaked up for the mass consumption of a public that has agreed to be decieved? it's easy to say young girls shouldn't compare themselves unfavorably to the glam shots but who exactly are the glam shots taken for? altered for? baaaaaaa ;)
 
In the end it's always about selling something. Beyonce is a commodity- the image that the media portrays her as- this is the sick thing about all the rags-they present people as objects- sure it's up to individuals to believe what they want- but when every image you see- billboards, magazine covers, print media in general- is presenting men and women with blemish free skin, with six packs, with balanced facial features- on an unconcious level we a become prisoners. Wrinkles are frowned upon, old age is not presented as a positive thing- youth being the only marker for vitality. Where is the magic of life- where is the longing for things beyond the physical? Why do so many people hate the way they look? Why do so many people dislike who they are? Where are the positive images in life? We are sold who to be and what to believe in.
 


Beyonce - unretouched.

because we live in a society where people are free to tell this woman that just being pretty is enough.... then go on to tell her that she is not pretty enough until we have painted her face n barbie-fied her body.

I don't think airbrushing and photoshop are to blame for the deception...since ancient times men and women have gone to drastic measures to make their bodies look up to that dates fads....vomitoriums in Rome, extreme girdles in the Elizabethan era, Chinese foot binding....even the simple wearing of pantyhose to make legs look smoother and tanner...

Hell there was a time when men wore white powder make-up and wigs, then the 80's came and made makeup and big hair popular again...

I like to do all those things-then hit the town. :laugh:
 
sadly i think the media can make the majority of us all look like clowns just by telling us this or that is "in" i'll decide for myself. by looking at trends there are a lot of women confusing being loose n sloppy with the media's hypeing of the big ass...

vomitoriums in Rome, extreme girdles in the Elizabethan era, Chinese foot binding... all were disasterous to the body, and that white powder contained lead i think. accepted practice doesn't make a thing right.
 
I really don't see any point in this. They make women look better. So?! You're a hypocrit if you say you don't want to see the best. If you really wouldn't care you wouldn't bath, use perfume, do your hair, buy fancy clothes or anything like that. You wouldn't care about how your car looked or how your husband looked. But we all do, some more than others.

If you want to look like Beyonce, that's your own decision. You can't blame anyone for this, except yourself. It's as simple as that.

I think this is a funny discussion on a bodybuilding site.
 
I agree with what you are saying, Little Wing. I think photoshop is often taken too far. I always hate it when a girl I am seeing compares herself to touched up pro photos and say they wished they looked like that or had her boobs, hips, or butt. I actually like how the original picture looks better than the photoshop in the above link. Thanks for sharing, these things are interesting.
 
What happened to this thread?
:lol:
:eek: damn! it was supposed to be a hot thread about Beyonce, instead it got all PC :laugh: She is hot and skinny enough, I dont think she needs to loose any weight at all.

But i agree with people comparing themselves to those manipulated pics and then having issues.

Hey, I would still hit it...
Of course I would strap a 2x4 across my ass,
so as not to swallowed up by her huge vagine


:eek:

All I am saying is that human history shows that the majority of people are going to go with whats popular, all that you can do is resist social norms and be your own person...:thumb:
 
:/ i'm sooo not normal. i think that's good but dunno about the rest of the world. :)
