Pass the cheesecake

Women of the world pick up your forks and get ready to eat! Have all the cheesecake, chocolate and other delicious treats that you’d like. Don’t worry about anything, just eat away! What? You’re worried you won’t look good if you eat all that? Aww, come on, haven’t you seen those gorgeous Hollywood actresses stuffing their faces with lots of good treats? They still look good right? If they can do it so can you. All you need is faith and trust…oh yes, and one more thing…

Photoshop.

Kim Kardashian recently discovered the backlash that occurs when people find out your picture is fake. Complex magazine accidentally released an unedited photo of Kardashian which showed her in all her glory, cellulite included.

When the editors realized what they’d done, they quickly pulled the REAL photo of Kardashian and replaced it with the retouched and slimmed down photo they had intended to use. They weren’t quite quick enough though and the photo made its way around the internet.

Kardashian said that “retouched photos are standard in the industry”. I guess I missed that admission. Maybe they talked about it in between their telling us about their terrific diets, motivational personal trainers and long hours at the gym.

I don't know about you, but for me personally, I'd rather have someone say "Wow, she's brave to wear that!" while they look at the REAL me than to tell me how beautiful the FAKE me is.
