Estee Lauder: Ouch


As God is my witness, I swear that my horrifically deformed daughter will one day model for Estee Lauder.

She's got a faulty trapezius.

Ken said...

This is no disaster! My girlfriend can totally do that!

fippss said...

@Ken:
Your girlfriend can make her collarbone disappear?

David said...

@ fippss

Her collarbone hasn't disappeared. It's been brutally shoved out of place and above her left shoulder.

And while we're at it, the reflections in the compacts on their page were obviously also done by Mr la Senza below. ((shudder))

Will said...

So she's got osteomalacia and a tight dress on: PSD Fail!

I'm cancelling my subscription...

Christopher said...

Oh that poor girl.

Just like what happened to the girl killed by gold paint in Goldfinger.

Californian said...

I'm no pro...

Did they do something to her top? It just doesn't look right to me (the uneducated)

Scott said...

its just like an escape artist or contortionist...didn't you know? being able to collapse your body on itself is the new black

Brett Maxwell said...

I broke my collarbone several years ago and it healed overlapping a little, making it a bit shorter. Maybe the same thing happened to her in the extreme!

Throb said...

She looks totally home schooled!

@Throb

Funny enough to make me choke on my tea!

Ken said...

ooooohhhhh..Throb!
sigh...took me a minute to stop laughing...I think we found a new meme. There's the "my girlfriend can do that" and now the home-school one....I mean it's no keyboard cat but still, good for a laugh.

Mykel said...

Yeah, thanks for the undieing laugh Throb... just great... lol.

Duff said...

lol @ Throb!

GOGOPEDRO said...

Always very strange. Estee Lauder and other big time cosmetic companies hire the most beautiful women in the world--in this case Carolyn Murphy who has been their face for years--women who are used to looking good for the camera. Then they hire good to great photogaphers for the ads, artists who specialize in shooting ads and editorials for fashion magazines.

Then they have the resulting image screwed up, send it to the magazine and get a print ad looking like this one.

vw: wanti as in "I wanti to vomit after seeing this" Sometimes this is like shooting tuna fish in a barrel.

I'm not convinced she was wearing that dress -- any dress, for that matter -- when the picture was shot, either.

iheartuba said...

Look at the size of her hand!

Ha ha ha wow

Dino said...

I wonder if any home-schoolers will ever model for Estee Lauder?

Val said...

Her left breast implant must be filled with helium.

Andy said...

Throb is full of win, as are home schoolers everywhere!

The Sophisticate's Diary said...

It must be tricky keeping that dress up with only one shoulder.

Her right armpit must only be an inch away from her right nipple, forming some kind of abominable 'nipplit'.

Sharon said...

The site tells us we can "Get The Model Look" shown. My first thought was OMG NOOOO, don't let anyone do that to me!

WV: haginse; as in, When she gets older, that shoulder is gonna give her some serious HAGinse.

Miranda said...

Huge shoulder on one side, none on the other, arm attached straight to neck. Skin spray painted gold. daaaaamn. That is BAD.

brian t said...

"Well, I suppose everyone needs a shoulder to cry on, but when you're finished with it, can I have it back, please?"

sitboaf said...

Is her arm growing out of a vase? Or is that some kind of ginormous, faux cracked bracelet?

N. said...

They moved her arm in a good 6 inches so that it was visible in the graphic; they sacrificed reality and common sense to create a better composed image.

To be honest, the average Joe wouldn't notice this error if they weren't told there was a problem (I'd bet on it) ... but they also probably wouldn't appreciate the improved composition either ... so they haven't really achieved much.

Rand McNatt said...

I thought maybe she'd had a mastectomy, but I guess it just flopped down into her armpit.

Dee Dee Warren said...

I can do that.

brun0 said...

They also photoshopped her right boob away.

Susan McCrae said...

Her dress looks like a black void. No shadows or highlights, or even fabric folds to be seen!

The Sophisticate's Diary said...

Susan, I think you need to adjust the contrast on your monitor; there are definitely folds and a slight reflective sheen.

hevoh said...

er.. she is also missing an ear...
