GQ: She Probably Stopped Smiling When She Saw The Newsstand


OMG dude look as Rachel Bilson's legs they're uhhh like totally whoa. Yeahhhh! (sound of smoke being inhaled). Whoa! she's like uhhh some sort of sideshow. You know what would be (more smoke-related noises) totally amazing: we should uhhhh put like an inexplicably fake umm shadow behind her, so she's like a warp-legged captain of a rubber sheet. Whoa! Yo Art Director didn't we order a pizza?

You know, they had to put the whole girl on the cover. And they succeeded!

She looks like my old barbie.
Well, if barbie had been starved and microwaved.

That's just terrible in general. And are her legs double-folded or something?

phil said...

Wow, that's some serious muscle wastage going on there.

Is she, like ... deflating or something?

David A said...

There's nothing wrong with her legs. The photo is just out of context which makes it look odd.

Today's lesson. Look up foreshortening and lens curvature.

Bunny said...

Are you kidding David A? Look at her right leg! It's nowhere near as long as it should be. She must walk with a really pronounced limp. And the curve where the calf is against the thigh is messed up too.

Chromatically Challenged said...

OK bunny, perhaps you'd like to take it up with the photographer?

It's like the weight of her torso crushed her legs underneath it... and that torso is nowhere near weighing anything! o.O

yeah, i think this more to do with the type of lens used, than being a bad shop job. (Even though it is also shopped.)

Orangetiki said...

can't believe I saw this in the pile at the barber shop and didn't notice the gimp legs. im so not worthy

how about getting a life, loosers.

Tsaiko said...

I have to agree with both sides of the debate. Some of the distortion is caused by the camera lens used (you can clearly see that in the original photographs chromatically_challenged linked to). However, if you compare the cover and the original photos you see that someone darkened the shadows on her legs way too much. The odd camera angle/lens made her legs look odd but not too bad. The shadows make it 10x worse.

awful mistake :(

Kelly said...

What on earth is going on with her right hand? Did she break her wrist or something?

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who thought that cover was utter crap.

I'm a loser sometimes, but never a "looser".

Come on, guys, she's very sensitive about her botched leg-reattachment procedure. Cut the lady some slack...
