Reality check: More celebrity airbrushing

There's been several notable scandals in magazine airbrushing lately (arms that get bigger or smaller, pounds that melt away while boobs swell to a new cup size) but so far it hasn't dampened much of the industry enthusiasm for showing celebrities in that bizarre fake light with flawless, plastic skin and crazy unrealistic bods. Aside from the completely whackadoo body image stuff it promotes, I actually think lots of the photos look creepy. I'm hoping this shiny rubber people thing is replaced by a grittier, more natural aesthetic. Well, you can see for yourself what some famous people look like if you check out the iWANEX portfolio. They are a professional photo retouching company and they rework folks like Cameron Diaz and Cate Blanchett into smooth, strange weirdness.

It's kinda fun to toggle back and forth and see famous people shrink and grow right before your eyes. No need for us to feel so bad about our own eye wrinkles and flyaway hair. And I think the celebs look best pre-retouch too. Via Strollerderby.
