Magazines have to sell, so photos are airbrushed, retouched and the skin smooth, clear and shiny. All us women should have once in our life a photo taken done with the above and frame in it a 9 by 10 frame. Wow, wow.

Her legs, face, eyes and lips look perfect in the first shot. I do not care for the second and I don’t care if 13 year old boys and a 31 year old woman prefer the second, it’s sad.

Most likely the background pictures have nothing to do with the actual photos of Jessica. They are added in for her photo shoot as any background shot can be superimposed with any photograph.

WONDERFUL STORY #28

They all do! And the real women from the street are having depressions or eating disorders because they think they should look like that!!! I tell you a story: years ago my friend was working as a nanny, the father of the baby worked in a magazine. We found out his job was to retouch pictures. But the funny thing is that there were several people working fulltime doing the same! We asked him to see some pictures and you won’t believe it. All those creams and make up pictures are so retouched!!! She was at that moment searching for a job and she gave him a passport picture to attach to her CV. He made her lips a bit thicker and her eyelashes longer. He put a bit of color on her chicks and he worked on her smile and eyes. All in all she looked very natural, beautiful and peaceful in that picture. We were amazed. They do it with all the pictures from photoshootings for modeling and advertisement.

All this talk of being realistic and impossible to achieve does not matter with the discussion in terms of which picture looks better! Of course most, 99.99999% of women, do not look like the second picture and that is why it is a fantasy shot because that is what men fantasize about!

Sorry people, but the “first” picture is much more realistic.

hmmm, well, I think she looks beautiful in both but I very much disapprove the deceit in the airbrushed one. I think it really sucks that the fake photo is likely widely perceived as the more attractive photo because it’s a lot harder to achieve and for some impossible. Not fair or realistic.

I like the second best but my husband liked the first better. Wonder if that translates to we women have an obsession with thinness that our men don’t have?

I think the first picture is much more flattering than the airbrushed one
