By renormalizing the model's waistline, Maxim Mexico takes a bold socio-political stance in the ongoing battle of the politics of representation, clearly referencing the oppressive reification of male-gaze heteronormative modes of synthesis in a semiotic blancmange of post-structural teakettle barbecue hatstand fishmonger.

Best. Sentence. Ever.
It must be a great pain in her tummy...
well.. if she eat something, she has to dump it everymorning right...
and it has to go thru her 32-8-32 body :)
Babelfish translation from the photo:
"To lie down to everything a weekend outside, with rain falling, mmm… He would be delicious"
"Lie down an entire weekend, with rain falling outside, mmm... that would be delicious"
;)
The text = win.
I think the image was just the result of someone Photoshopping out the page fold, though.
Her thighs are double the size of her waist. That's gotta hurt.
I suspect this was a two-page spread, and the bad photoshop job was done by whoever scanned it in for internet consumption. Note the giant hole in the floor underneath the faulty area.
Her forearm is rather short too compare to her upper arm. Is she a leper?
wow! when will media people realize that beautiful comes in ALL shapes and sizes?
is an effect of two-page spread, I had the magazine and the girl had her normal size
Wow's that creepy !
This is really obscene to a whole new level...
That's some excellent. . . discourse you have going on there. My episteme hurts.
Where did you learn to write like that? OMG LOL BBQ
The photoshopping was only a moderately interesting, but your description was primo!
This woman needs a new vertebral column.
Does she have six fingers on her left hand? I count three, a thumb, and then space for two more.
They pasted a right hand onto her left arm.
Holy crap, it's Rob Liefeld artwork come to life.

There is nothing wrong with this picture : Red Richards can do it too !
The best part of this post is the caption.
That was brilliant. So are some of the comments. I love this site.

No, but she has eight fingers on her right hand.
Come on, she's just double-jointed. So am I.
I dont see the problem. Can someone point me? Just kidding.
Hahaha, love the postmodernist claptrap comment :)
this model is so beautiful! sexy body! wow!
That Waist... *twitch* ...that Waist!
o_O;
I mean there is none, or at least almost... *twitches once more*
This isn't a photoshop disaster. My cousin's girlfriend's waist looks just like that.
If I were Elasticman, I would be really turned on right now.
You have scarred me for life, again.
o.o;
looks more like a crappy scanned centerfold to me
true, just a bad scan her waist is just in the fold
wow, she's really fat - how sad and embarrassing for her. not as sad and embarrassing as the consistant dicksizing douchebaggery that plagues the comments pages of this excellent site though.
Oh yeah, REAL healthy...
yes, a bad scan...
I can be wrong but I think she lost her elbow in the process too. Somebody else think so?
Saludos desde Monterrey, Mexico.
She looks so thin because all she's been eating are her fingernails, if she can get her hand to her mouth!! LOL
It may be a scan of a two page spread, but it still qualifies as a ridiculous PS disaster.
I'm sure if you found the original magazine it wouldn't look bad. Notice that the page crease is present only up to the blinds. This doesn't qualify as a professional Photoshop disaster. It was most likely scanned and 'Photoshopped' by a crappy amateur.
How come her arm looks ok then?

The elbow is not located 2/3 down on a normal healthy arm.
Oh, I figured her elbow was bent and the bottom half of her arm was going away from the camera. But that makes sense.
brilliant description :) the photo is awful, why would anyone do that (and that's considering the double page spread issue)?
Someone feed that poor woman!
Dear commenters:
A VERTICAL fold does not affect the VERTICAL ASPECTS of a stomach. It can only push together and pull apart the HORIZONTAL aspects (that is, the sides of the stomach on either side of the crease).
Damn.
And, these photoshoppers need to learn a thing or two about anatomy.
Everyone should see this image, so it'll really sink in how models are constantly manipulated and airbrushed. Sick looking.
http://death-sentences.blogspot.com/
that is the worst liquifying hack i've ever seen
Is that translation right? I thought it read "Making a total arse of it at the back end of the week"?
Oh, and I've never seen a fold in a dps do that . . .
Loved the deconstruction. More, please.
Wow and she does this wasp waistline with no corset.
Dang.
Come on are we really going to waste time baggin on Maxim? Isn't that redundant?

Most of these are NOT photoshop mistakes. They are just optical illusions that happen when you take a picture at just the wrong time. Bad pictures to use in adverising, but not photoshopping mistakes.
And honestly...a blog devoted to Photoshop mistakes should be run by someone who has at least a LITTLE knowledge on the subject.
Yet again...not Photoshopped. You, sir, are a fool.
Oh my God, Rob Liefeld anatomy...
You know those things where you have a two page spread and if you tuck the middle of the pages together it looks like something else? This is *exactly that* look at her left arm and the black hole in the floor. She looks skinny because there's a parallelogram of flesh missing from her stomach.
I want my joke back.
very nice
"wow! when will media people realize that beautiful comes in ALL shapes and sizes?"
ALL shapes and sizes? Yewhat? NOTHING comes in that shape.
Hooray for the "Young Ones" reference that nobody caught but me!
is a horror, is a disaster of picture
'Pressures of the Text' Performance Video
Your sentence . . . the origins of it
"Quick, I can't hold it much longer - unnnngh!"
*snap*
Last finger of the left arm looks too short, not to mention the fake-looking lighting/shadowing on the left arm. And from the elbow down the left arm looks too short. And the right arm shouldn't be able to bend like that...I tried it just now. Also, the anatomy looks off on the right arm. Just attempted the left arm pose. It's not too comfortable if you ask me.
Gah, whatever. That's how I see it.
This is a really really bad piece of photo shopping. It would be physically impossible to have legs as wide with a waist so thin. you can see the lumpyness of her back where the photoshopper hasnt been able to follow the edit through the table. The model is gorgeous dont get me wrong but the pic is bloody aweful.
english girl
I have that magazine, and is a centerfold, it didn't appeared like that in the magazine, somebody tried to scan the centerfold, and retouching it with PS.
*SNAP* *CRACK*
"Oh God, My SPINE, my BEAUTIFUL SPINE!"
To Cosmo 7 or whomever posted the image:
You might want to consider opening a bit more the magazine before claiming the image was photoshopped. A shitty job from the printer is more like it. Could've placed the image a bit more to the left, but then you'd be claiming the breast is too small or some other crap...
"By renormalizing the model's waistline, Maxim Mexico takes a bold socio-political stance in the ongoing battle of the politics of representation, clearly referencing the oppressive reification of male-gaze heteronormative modes of synthesis in a semiotic blancmange of post-structural teakettle barbecue hatstand fishmonger."
Umberto Eco suffers a stroke in mid-lecture.
best satirical interpretation...EVER.
Oh what Boyfriend wrote.
32-8-32.
That is funny
ok guys pick me up again. I can't get up my self because I'm so thin there is clearly no room for a spinal cord
Oh... My...
Once again, this is a poor job while scanning the image. You might want to try and open the magazine a bit more before posting your claim. If you can't tell between a bad scan and PS you might want to try another career.
