We all know magazine photo covers/spreads are air brushed, fixed a bit, touched up, and whatever else it takes to get a celeb to pose for your mag -- But has the latest issue of Self magazine gone too far?
Kelly Clarkson tops the September issue of the women's magazine, but clearly her photo was airbrushed to an extreme.
As The Insider reports,
A bunch of people are getting their thongs in a bunch because Kelly Clarkson was airbrushed into oblivion on the cover of Self magazine. She is a curvy girl and that shiz considered gross by the standards of society (and by society I mean women shaped like anorexic hot dogs and men who are attracted by said anorexic hot dogs.) So those offended by the foolery of airbrushing wizards are bitching to the mag about the cover.
Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger confirmed that they do airbrushing on all celebs and brushed it off as common practice. Of course she only confirmed minor “post production adjustments” as apposed to this obvious complete body overhaul.
So how is that being true to yourself, and more importantly your fans? What do you think about the cover?
