    My girlfriend has been quite outspoken about "Air Brushing" images in glossy magazines. (Since I demonstrated to her how easy it is). Saying: It gives a false impression & goals for young girls. (She has a 16 year old daughter) But this is where it gets interesting: She went to a photo shoot with her daughter! :-D And when the prints came back in the post, what do you think happened??? You guessed it, a tummy tuck here, a boob job there... Am I alone in thinking that is Hypocritical? Funny, but still Hypocritical! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: She is also going to kill me for posting this (If she finds out...)

      :-D I went through exactly the same thing with my wife a couple years ago. Somehow, she didn't see it as hypocritical in any way, though. I just had to accept that I was "wrong".

        I've been told it's OK, as it's just for her??? I'm obviously wrong as well...

          step 1: Have her make the excuse into something she finds plausible and name it. "Oh, it was just 'enhancing' the picture. step 2: Buy a magazine with some photoshopping done in there. step 3: When she complains, "oh it is just 'enhancing' the girl" step 4: Run like hell.

            When you look up "hypocrite" in the dictionary, the list of definitions starts with "1) Any woman; 2) Any democrat; 3) Anyone who programs in VB; ...".

                                      It's not the retouching, it's the magazine -- even if there were no retouching, magazines (and such) would still give false goals.

                                          :-D I went through exactly the same thing with my wife a couple years ago. Somehow, she didn't see it as hypocritical in any way, though. I just had to accept that I was "wrong".

                                          Ah the woman is always right.

                                          Two heads are better than one.
