This is why I am skeptical about Britney's Harper's Bazaar shoot.

[aziajs]

This girl has been photoshopped to death. These pics are from a Glamour magazine shoot taken earlier this year.

BEFORE

AFTER

This is the Harper's Bazaar shoot I am referring to.

I LOVE her... but gosh, she looks rough.

 

[theleopardcake]

ouch!

 

[SChotgurrl]

Ewwwwwwwwww :bye:

 

[jess]

she looks like a junkie in the first pic and a princess in the 2nd pic - how amazing is the difference between the two?

 

[mzcelaneous]

Oh, wow.

I don't think she's been photoshopped to death, I think she's been photoshopped to life! Scary!

LOL!!

There's not a single solitary celebrity on the front of ANY magazine that isn't photoshopped.
Why should she be made a spectacle of?
And, if she IS going to be made a spectacle of, perhaps a reevaluation of the nuclear meltdown that is Teri Hatcher's face is in order.

You should be skeptical of ALL photoshoots...lol.
You should SEE what my Graphic Designer friend has done to people for crappy local magazines!!
He did it for one of my pictures and I look like a real doll/pornstar.
In real life i look like an elf, cute, but not sexy in the least...lol

The wonders people can do with a computer.

I know Britney is your girl, but she looks bogus.

I do, however, agree with you about Teri Hatcher. She looks horrible, just horrible. I don't even want to talk about her cuz I don't know where to start. I....I can't even continue.

And yes, all the models and celebrites we see in magazines are photoshopped. It's just a shame to see what they actually look like versus what we see in the magazines. It's shocking really. And some need it more than others.

You guys should check out the Glenn Feron website. It has everyone from Beyonce to Halle Berry with their before and afters. The portfolio section is under construction but hopefully it will be back up soon.

W O W! I am in SHOCK! I had to look at the before and after SEVERAL times. The top looks like a paparazzi photo and the bottom like a magazine. I mean, I knew they photo shopped pics, but I had NO IDEA they could make them look THAT different. I want a photo shopped pic if me like that! LOL

W O W. That is all I can say.

 

[stillsoawesome]

creepy... the first one looks like a mug shot.

Honestly though I dont like the makeup in the fixed up one either.. she looks like she has brown black eye. It's panda-ish.

 

[aziajs]

Check out the retouching here. It's interesting.

Britney isn't my girl, not over anyone else really.
Britney looks bogus?
I'd love to see anyone pose for an internationally read magazine at the height of pregnancy (or not, either way) and NOT allow their image to be photoshopped.
I'd love to see all members on this site NOT photoshop their face before posting their fotd's (and I'm not saying everyone does but I am saying it happens). Shocking what a celeb looks like? Celebs are people too.

Perhaps if the public were to actually show the mag editors that we WANT to see the celebs as they really are instead of after the airbrushed magic this wouldn't be such a huge deal.
Do I want to see Britney got back to her reality as it was in 2001? Absolutely. I'd love to see her claw her way back up.

As an aside: imagine for a minute seeing the commentary about Britney here through the eyes of someone with fledgling self esteem...
Who hasn't the nerve yet to post an FOTD
Or be active on the site
Or make a contribution
Who isn't a pro
and reads these comments....
How must it make that person feel?
"If they are willing to trash Britney Spears, and I'm no where near as pretty as she is...with our without makeup...I'm NEVER posting FOTD's."

But that's just my opinion.

I don't think the public, sadly, would be very kind to a non-Photoshopped photo. Usually they're greeted with negative remarks. I was a bit surprised to see the amount of Photoshopping done, becase some things, namely the hair, could've been fixed in real life and not on a computer.

 

[Shimmer]

the hair definitely could have been fixed IRL.

As an aside about the HB shoot, look at the candids of her at the beach, she's NOT a whale of a pregnant woman. She doesn't rock out to the huge freddy krueger style stretch marks, she STILL HAS muscle tone in her thighs and arms.

She's just gotten a lot more worn looking in the face in the past 3 years :/
