Putty Pose: Pink with Polka dots

Making a woman’s legs turn to jelly is an expression and a dream – not a goal for your graphics department.

Photoshop Disasters

This is a classic case of having photoshop work against you. Instead of a long-legged woman in a flirty dress, the audience is treated to flesh-coloured toothpaste pushed out of a frilly tube.

Thanks Kay. You can see the original on Amazon.

Glamour: Let Your Hair Down

I had to look top to bottom on this submission to figure out where the disaster was. Then I realized I spent a full minute going up the neck.

Photoshop Disasters

Besides seeing the highest anyone has ever held their head, can we get a reader consensus on what is going on with the right side of the model’s face? Asymmetrical, warped page, or mid-stroke? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks Stephanie. You can see the original in the Feb 2013 edition of Glamour.

KOHL’S: Heads up!

I love a lady with a good head on her shoulders, but not enough people appreciate how that head is attached.

Photoshop Disasters

Someone probably told this model to keep her chin up and she took it a (vertical) step too far. Hopefully she can keep her head above the haters.

Thanks Mary. You can see the original on the Kohl’s site.

CEPOV: Guaranteed To See Further

Look!! A Labra-Llama!!

Thanks Fernando for the photo and caption. Can be found in an eye-veterinary clinic on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Reader Captions: 

Note the tail of the dog, and the long fur on the side and the entire length of the neck.  It is not a “labra-llama” it is a “golden llama retriever.” by Persnickityknowitall

For those who didn’t get it: the dog had 2 pics: standing and sit. The art director conjoined both of them into a same picture. Its like a dog-centaur. Anyone who has a dog can get it easily.  by Cezinha

It’s attractive to have a long neck. It must be REALLY attractive to have a very long neck. You think? Duh.

My giraffe can do that.  By OldGeezer
The label “Overdone” would be more suitable. She looks like a barbie doll, and her arms like Polly Pocket’s ones. By Robert

Pantene: Going to greater lengths to Shine

Ukrainian actress and model Olga Kurylenko spends at least 4 hours a day suspended from her head in her efforts to lengthen her neck without resorting to surgery. She says the results speak for themselves, after landing a lucrative contract with Pantene.
