Why God made Adobe Photoshop (or, The Current State of 'Truth in Advertising')

(Most of you folk at home have probably seen this set of pics already - it was a big issue in showbiz circles a couple of weeks ago, but I still can't get over how the layout guys on the project went overboard on this. Man. You coulda saved money and just did a CGI character, you know

Oo. That gold one takes the cake. That's the body of an 11-year old girl.

Got it from Raymond at our office, Kiv. He's to blame. Did you see that special feature on TV Patrol about this, by Marie Lozano? Topper was the Photoshop expert they consulted, and they shot the segment in my office, at my table, using my Powerbook. Showbiz na ang HIP!

That's my excuse. Now why do you have copies?

Poor girl. I actually feel sorry for the girl. She's a victim in all of this. So what if her body isn't great? So what if she doesn't work out? That's her problem, right? The fact of the matter is that she was the one who was hired (and paid) to model for GSM. I'm sure those "out takes" were not part of the deal she agreed to.

To me, it looks like some idiot stylist(s) decided to do the ultimate in unprofessional behavior. The girl agreed to pose for him/her/them and I'm pretty sure it was in trust.

It's one thing to actually be in the shoot and talk to friends in the industry about how bad her figure really is. That's normal. It's another thing to actually email them knowing very well they will be passed around. That's foul.

Someone sent me all the photos, but I refuse to pass it on. It's the responsible thing to do. I don't care to be part of the ruining of someone else's life, no matter what profession that person is in.
