<\/a><\/a><\/a>These women are, of course, genuinely thin.\u00a0 Much photoshopping isn’t about correcting “faults” (like a blemish), it’s about creating an unrealistic image.\u00a0 These images remind me of Gwen’s post<\/a> on the “fat” supermodel, Karolina Kurkova.\u00a0 Kurkova is still incredibly thin!\u00a0 The problem is that her body is betraying its humanness.\u00a0 Like in the image above, where her body (god forbid) reacts to the string squeezing her midsection, Kurkova’s body reacts to the way she is moving it (with the squishing of her mid-back and buttocks).\u00a0 There is no amount of thinness that will make you not human, but this is what we’re supposed to be aiming for.\u00a0 And, if we get there, we’re not supposed to look skinny!\u00a0 You might remember this photoshop example<\/a> in which bones protruding from Cameron Diaz’s body are photoshopped out to make her thinness look more “healthy.”\u00a0 So it’s not enough to rid yourself of the fat part of you, now they are ridding us of our very skeletons with photoshop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Unbearable Weight<\/a>, Susan Bordo argues that compulsory thinness for women isn’t just a standard of beauty, it’s literally about making women less.\u00a0 How much of us do they want to get rid of?<\/p>\n
