I dig the bee’s knees sososo much. In re Photoshop, I hope the glaring cloning was just a context clue. :p

ok, so i don’t have a problem with her being skinny, but i DO have a problem with using photoshop to make her look impossibly skinny, thus perpetuating an impossible body image. i mean the mainstream media does that all the time, but why did you stoop to their level shannon? it’s one thing to celebrate all body types (including healthy naturally thin women), but it’s another thing to make bodies look artificially thin to perpetuate the current (unhealthy) beauty standard.
i don’t mean to bash you shannon, because i do appreciate the time you put in to publish modblog for us (and keeping it free for everyone). i’m just upset and curious why you would resort to tricks used by the mainstream media that only kill women’s self esteem by holding them up to an impossibly artificial beauty standard?

Haha! Stick it to ‘em Shannon! I’ve noticed an increase in photoshop calls in comments lately, great response.
And she’s hot, super skinny or not.

if it was photoshopped.. for us sad, sad, non-members (you never approve any of my pics) can you please post the original photo?

this is in response to #54 aka “moi”…
um. are you serious? i’m pretty certain that shannon didn’t photoshop the picture to “perpetuate the current (unhealthy) beauty trend”. he photoshopped it as a joke, for god’s sake. recently many people have jumped on him for posting photoshopped images of women…so he took this opportunity to (in my opinion) distort this image quite OBVIOUSLY.
don’t flip your bitch switch at the drop of a hat. cripes!
also, shannon, i received stickers in the mail today! yay! i guess i won the random drawing…woo! thanks 🙂 just in time for my new car…

i specifically tried to be rational and objective, and not resort to name calling.
check your bitch switch first, before accusing me my dear.

the sad part is that even though she’s photoshopped *impossibly* thin, people still think she’s hot, and I have to say I agree. what does that say about our perceptions of beauty?

if my iam page is set to “members-only” with NO public access, my diary and mod-tracker pics aren’t up for grabs for modblog are they? yikes.

shannon, i know that’s clearly not your goal. that’s why i was surprised that YOU of all people would do that. meaning i held you to a higher standard.
and yes, it was just one jokingly done image. but put in a larger context, we get bombarded with with this message, one image at a time.

I don’t see how this is obviously Photoshopped, and how she is impossibly thin, and if I may, from some of the comments above, there are at least a few people out there of that size as well. I know I am, but with a more ample chest (which I hope is proof enough that I am exactly the size I am supposed to be–I would hope my body would have the sense to not invest fat into 32D breasts if it were needed somewhere else :oP)
I want those adorable left right tattoos on my hands! They would make my life so much easier!

I think its funny how Shannon had a reference to photoshop IN THE TITLE, yet it wasnt until 47 comments later (plus an admission!) that anyone realised this… haha…
she looks 8 feet tall!

jess – No, that link should only work for IAM members.
Hold Fast – I don’t think it says anything, really. The way we see stuff in our mind is different than how they appear when we see a low res 2D photo. Photoshopping and artistic manipulation, from my point of view, is to make a photo look its best, to make a photo look like your mind would have captured it at the moment rather than a camera.
moi – I fail to see why it’s an issue (see my answer above).

The picture looks slightly distorded, like her body is rubbery and bending in the wrong places. Is this an effect of photoshop, or the angle that the photo was taken at?

And this is the reason I have never submitted to BME – I refuse to give permission to have my photos modified or published without my explicit permission. I’d be furious if this photo were of me, or if I were the photographer.
