WTF... Even Miranda Kerr is Using Photoshop

At the office today and I am just not motivated to work.  I am about to kick my butt into gear since it is already 3:30pm.  But, before I did that, I wanted to write about something I saw on the Internet today.  Take a look at the following pic.  Notice the before (left) photo and the after (right) photo.  Pay attention to Miranda Kerr's dwindling waist line...


Okay...This is ridiculous.  First of all, wtf was Miranda Kerr thinking??  She looks deformed (right) after photo-shopping her waste away.  She looks way better in the original (left) picture.  It just makes you realize that it's not just us fatties that our insecure about our bodies.  If a woman like Miranda Kerr feels the need to photoshop her images, what does that say about us as a society?  And what does that mean for the rest of us women who are size 14 and above?

When I logged on just now to write this post I wanted to find an image of the picture I saw earlier so I Googled "Miranda Kerr Photoshop".  OMG!  Appartently Miss Miranda is a serial photo-shopper.  She uploads the photo shopped pics to her Instagram account.  Users have become keen to what she is doing and have posted many of the "before" and "after" pics.  Some users take the pics and draw a straight line on them so you can see the curvature of objects around her, a clear red flag that the picture has been altered.  It's ironic that so many women out there strive to get a body like Miranda Kerr's.  They think "that is what perfection looks like".  But as the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"... Even though most of the world's population will agree that Miranda's body is as close to perfect as you can get, apparently she does not agree.
