    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...)

    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; ...".

        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.

                              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".

                                      Why photograph the girls at all if they are just going to be painted over anyway? Start with the painting and save all the aggravation. In all seriousness, magazines/photographers will not stop this trend until folks stop paying them. The only message they understand is the one that affects their bottom line.

                                          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; ...".
