Because airbrushing actresses to look skinnier than nature isn't enough.  Now that so many actresses are downright anorexic, they airbrush them to make them look... um... healthier.

That really is disturbing.

(Of course, 'healthier' in this context mostly means 'bigger breasts,' and yet...)

I don't even know what to say.

Did they airbrush out bone or muscle on Cameron? I couldn't tell! Because I know she's been working out really hard since Justin ( I hate myself for typing that last sentence and even knowing it) and it almost appeared to be a very defined muscle.
Oh, what the hell at the whole stupid thing anyway, but I'm just curious.

The Brittany Murphy one was the most shocking difference. Have you seen the Madonna cover on Vanity Fair? Clearly airbrushed to death. I wish they'd just let us see what reality looked like. It's quite alright.

That's just plain sick.

Yes. Bigger boobs, and hiding bony chests. It's rather scary.

Muscle, I think. Nothing like giving impossible standards "Be this skiny but don't have any bone or muscle showing."

They totally redid Murphy's face! I haven't seen the Madonna cover, but I did see her new video this morning with Justin Timberlake with her running around in a nude colored corsette and found myself thinking that she really should have more dignity than that at her age. I mean, she generally looks great, but it's still at a point where trying to look half-nude and in her underwhere just doesn't seem to fit. She's older enough to be Timberlake's MOM!

Isn't it, though?

It's not just "be skinny" it's "here's this utterly impossible, not human standard!"

At least with Barbie dolls we knew they were plastic, these things are designed to make people think that they're real!
