There I was, minding my own business, until page 26 of today's Manchester Guardian woke me up . . .
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/sep/02/lizzie-miller-model-fat

http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2009/sep/05/model-lizzie-miller-photo-reaction
has more of Saner's article. The photo in the newspaper on page 26 lists THIRTEEN Photoshop 'corrections' performed on this photo of the twenty-year old model. The model isn't any fatter than she used to be, it's just that the magazine didn't get rid of her tummy with Photoshop.
According to Emine Saner, this has generated lots of e-mails, but is it a sign for the future ? The Lib-Dems are considering introducing legislating to ban re-touching on photos used in adverts aimed at the under-16's.
