Britney Spears has never really captured my attention before. Until this morning. Britney unveiled side-by-side photos of her from a Candie’s shoot that shows the original photos along side the air-brushed photos. No joke.
We’ve talked about this before on several occasions. See Ladies, Don’t Be Fooled By This, No Wonder Our Perception Of Beauty is Distorted and No One Really Looks For Your Personality. So what do you think of these?

There are other subtleties that were airbrushed out and not mentioned in the above photos, which came from Mail Online. There are minor skin imperfections that were touched up (besides the bruises) and the wrinkles in her neck have also been smoothed out. Her ankles are slimmer and the shapes of her calves are different. There are some exposure differences and the shadows in her underarms were also lightened. See anything else? I’m sure there is more that I missed.
Anyway…props to Britney for doing this. Who says girls can’t be real?

Britney’s legs look great! The way they touched them up makes them look like they belong on a smaller person.
Good for Britney, I can see smoothing her skin & adjusting contrast a bit….but advertisers go too far with this crap and I’m glad other women are finally getting fed up with all the photoshop adjustments in pictures!
Oh & she doesn’t have cellulite just dimpling of the skin…I hate that cellulite has become a term in everyday language it’s just how skin looks, Squeeze a baby’s skin and you can see dimpling like that sometimes too.

The knees. Not just lighting effect. Less weathered, smoother. FAKE.

In the bottom row of pictures the arms have been slimmed at the shoulders.
It is so disarming to see the side-by-sides. There are beautiful girls(boys, too) who will not aspire to be models or actors or, even other careers, because the public personnae are so distorted. What a shame.
Heidi Montag—need I say more?

And rto think that some girls would wnt to aspire to look like her, when in actual fact she doesn’t even look that way. That is so sad …tsk tsk
