This is from Dear Prudence (Advice column...Ann Landers was her mother) To any girl who's man said you don't add up. I'm sure THEY didn't either!! But be happy with who and what you are! A beautiful native woman! :)



Hi,
This is about your reply to the question a while ago about whether the Playboy playmates are touched-up. I'm a studio manager, and I oversee Photoshop retouching for commercial images—magazines and advertising. Are the bunnies a little touched-up? A lot touched-up. Typical retouching changes (I don't work for Playboy, so can't speak specifically to them) include eye-color changes, skin changes, and the actual shape of the body is changed. (Legs are extended, hips thinned out.) Hair is changed, lighting ... anything and everything is altered. If there is anything in a shot that is less than 100 percent perfect, it's altered or removed. I often tell my friends to never compare themselves to the women in magazines. I can point out where flaws and blemishes have been removed as well as body alterations made. That woman's husband is seriously deluding himself. I always enjoy your column. Thanks!

Dear S.,
Well, thank you! And Prudie says that for every woman who's ever felt she didn't measure up (or down) to the cupcakes in the magazines. Prudie considers your letter to be a kind of public service announcement. The funny thing is, though, that men who love women often don't see the imperfections or don't care that they're there … cupid's Photoshop, if you will.

—Prudie, appreciatively

exactly!
as if it's not obvious... they're touched up and aren't really "flawless..." who really wears pounds of makeup and fluffs their hair with gallons of hairspray daily besides tammy faye anyways!?!?!
