This is the sign of the continuing progression of body image degeneration among models. Emaciated is not good enough, the model must be semi-transparent now. Very sad.
vw: parch - as in, get her some water, she is starting to parch.
Chateau is pronounced cható, which sounds more or less as chato, flat in Spanish. D'Ax, on the other hand, sounds (still in Spanish) more loosely like "da asco" (it stinks). This is to say that the whole ad is flatly disgusting. The head of the woman looks like she is a cardboard photo placed over the couch.
Chateau d'Ax is a lousy not-luxurious-at-all-but-pretends-to-be brand anyway.
You might not get the full effect of how much of a joke they are if you don't know the blonde girl is Victoria Silvstedt, a wheel of Fortune girl who got her job because she had the biggest fake breasts of the casting. She's like the Daisy Duke of french rednecks, to give you an idea of how much of a crappy brand you must be to pick her as a spokeperson.

Not a disaster. There is a small owl under the seat cushion, propping it up, which gives the illusion that she is weightless and/or not actually seated on the couch.
Plus, the sun streaming through the lampshade on the right negates the shadows she would normally cast on the couch. And the photographer used a wide-angle lens. Unsubscribering.
WV: chert As in, "I was feeling sad until my weightless girlfriend did something that chert me up".
Oh man, I really don't see what everyone is talking about. The table is clear, so you can see her leg behind it. What am I missing? Please explain.
Now, what I *do* see is the eerie way she floats weightlessly on that couch, with a bizarre light reflection that makes it look like they took a picture of a picture of her, cut out the photo-twice-removed, and pasted it into the room.
Katie, there's supposed to be a (possibly non-transparent)tray on the table but I agree - the lack of transparency is the least of the problems with this abomination. The cutout on the hair's so bad I think they would've been better off just hiring Britney Spears.
I'm 101% sure the cat-water thing was a joke, it's not the first time we've seen deliberatly mistranslated garbage on here. I personly find the translations funnier than the PSD's themselves, the comments, people's avatars, other websites and just life in general...
Yeah, it's subtle at first but eventually it becomes clear that there's a whole lot of comping going on. The proportions are pretty messed up too -- she takes up about 1/3 of one seat of the couch, and her head is barely above it. It's big furniture, and a big room, but not THAT big.
Oh, and anyone in doubt about the transparency thing -- look at the foot coming through her foot.

"Cat-water"? God I hope you're joking. A chateau is a castle. It's a fairly commonly used word in English, no?
I have to agree with Photoxris, the zero point energy model is more disturbing than the clear tray.
Aaaaaaaaaand let the humorless commenter parade begin. You know what being baited is, no?
WV: berec, French for break

It is more than the accessories! the model is a ghost too! No couch dimple.
this was a good find!

Ugly, ugly, ugly.
VW: Aulfa. As in the Italian phrase: Aulfangulo
Chateau means castle dear french disaster ;-)
Chateaux means castle? Well you know-it-alls, you didn't read the tagline on the logo did you?
"Fabricant de salons depuis" which means made in the salon of the puss.
They're only cardboard cutout cats though...
"Ghost furniture. Wooooooo".... jajajajajaja
Don't forget that that furniture is either crafted for giants or she is very tiny.

Aye Capt'n... I'm TRYING to transport up your coffee from Chateau d'Ax but I NEED MORE POWER!
What hurts me the most is that those morons can't even spell Château correctly. Blame them.
"Catastrophic layering" is putting it lightly.
The whole thing feels like a puzzle: "Can you find the objects that weren't comped in from another photograph?"
Those are some pretty Fucked up shadows behind the bookshelf, too.
"chat eau" == "cat water". Not a FD, go home, etc.
/me shakes his head
That's some of the very best interior design for 1956 that I've ever seen.
Good Post ,, ! http://balibestjegeg.blogspot.com/
Doesn't "chateau" refer to the conversational water cooler?
Seems to offer more buffle than relaxation...
thissisnt a PsD..
I cannnt see clothespinsss

Not just the ghostly Tray with the Tea-Set, but look at the Chick... she ain't got no Shadows, doesn't have a any Weight, this is a multiple Disaster!

Never mind the cutout - how about the caption? Buffled if I know, hee hee!
Katie: Her leg is clear, too, as you can see the sofa right through it.

Never mind the tray...her feet are transparent!
Hmmmm..I would not mind being haunted by her ;)
My ex-wife can do that. }:)

Check the edges on the couch and the girl...including contrast and luminosity mismatch, she looks like a freaking cut board,
The person who did it should quit life.Its just ridiculously bad.
Dear 145: This word play is called a JOKE. Capisce? :P
the lamp looks out of place too.
nice! i learnt a new word today!
BUFFLE, according to thefreedictionary.com:
n. 1. The buffalo.
v. i. 1. To puzzle; to be at a loss.
so, uh, 'be a buffalo and relax', or 'be at a loss and relax'?
i'm buffled already

Maybe a Sense of Humour Disasters blog is called for as the comments are jam-packed with them, even from one poster commenting on the previous SoHD!

No you can't see the sofa through her leg, you see he leg through the black tray and decanters on the glass table.
opps.. "her leg"

@DanH
No offense, but your french *sucks*.
"Fabricant de salons depuis"
is
"Building lounges since"
Note: "salon" can be translated as lounge, salon, room, etc.
Would someone please direct me to the original "small owl" post? I am getting extremely curious about where this came from.
Regarding this PD - in addition to the transparent foot and teapot(?) only about half of the shadows that should be there are in evidence.
Is nothing real anymore? Am I real? Is this ham sandwich real? Mmmmm. I don't care it's delicious.
