Video: Dove’s Sneaky Action Against Photoshop

March 27, 2013 in Body, Body Image, Celebrity, Entertainment, Fashion, Health, Style, Technology

As part of the Dove “Real Beauty” campaign, they devised a clever way to sneak the message directly into the hands of those who can change our retouching culture. In case you can’t watch the video, Dove used a popular Photoshop plugin site to put up their free “Beautify” plugin that appeared to make the model’s skin glow. Instead what it did was undo all the photoshopping done to revert the image to the original and add the message “Don’t manipulate our image of real beauty”. What do you think of this campaign?

I Don’t Really Care About Photoshop

July 25, 2012 in Body Image, Celebrity, Entertainment, Fashion, Photography, Technology

Kardashian Photoshop Fail

April 11, 2012 in Body Image, Celebrity, Pregnancy & Birth

This picture was released this week to promote the swimwear line from the Kardashian Collection on the Bruno Schiavi Facebook page. Yes, it’s the Kardashians, again. They’re in swimwear. Cue eye rolling and exasperated sighs. Apart from the obvious photoshopping (perfect skin, hair, Kim’s hips noticeably slimmed), two things stood out to me. Firstly, why is Khloe Kardashian Odom always covered up? Is it because they think she is the “fat one”? Every picture I see promoting this clothing line has her more covered up than the other two and I find it really offensive. This “cover up” is also evident in [...]
