Wolford: Disjointed Experience

Excuse me miss, where do those legs go? That’s not a pick up line, I’m concerned for your health.

Photoshop Disasters

This disaster didn’t seem obvious until I investigated those knees and hips (I have a hard job). If you have a difficult time seeing it, just try to strike this pose on the stairs. Also, make sure to have a chiropractor on speed-dial.

Thanks Elly for the great find! You can see the original on the Wolford site.

InStyle: Burberry: Off-Balance

A pretty face will get you far kid, but make sure it’s attached right.

Is this ad implying that the two models next to the child are his parents? If so, lock up a bit of that leg ma.

What say you on readers? Disjointed head, sloppy parenting, or some sick combination of the two? Thanks Gergely! You can see the original on the Instyle Facebook page.

InStyle: Gwyneth Paltrow: InThailand

Refresh your look with InStyles tips and get perfect melted-plastic skin!

This is easily the biggest Paltrow-related travesty since 1998’s Hush. Even appreciating models in this day and age perpetuate an unrealistic body type, this issue of InStyle perpetuates the kind that comes out of a tanning booth, a sandblaster, and a lot of Vaseline on the lens.

Thanks Ellis for the great find!

Espirit: Turn the other cheek

Whenever she sits, she always seems to be at a tilt.

Photoshop Disasters

One problem I have with buying underwear is that they don’t let you try them on in the store, so you have no idea what your butt will look like in them. The other problem I have is the look the salesperson gives me when I buy panties.

Thanks Raffaella. You can find the original on the Esprit site.

Levi’s: Less than Graceful

The irony of an obtuse cut-out next to the slogan “cut with grace” is better than any pithy line I could come up with.

Photoshop disaster

Leather gloves and bare-feet rarely go together – but when you have a severed boot to accompany your boot cut (haha) jeans, anything is possible.

We got this so many times the last few days we decided to to feature it. What do you think happened here? Is it a disaster or is it just bad placement of the ad?

Diva: Another Photoshop Face/Off

Hopefully, people are too distracted by those breasts to notice the transplanted head above them.

Photoshop Disasters

I would be all smiles if I had my head attached to a bikini model’s body too. However, the growing tidal wave in the background is likely cause for concern.

Thanks Stefania!
