Have you seen a truly awful piece of Photoshop work? Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching are our bread and butter. And yes, deep down, we love Photoshop.
If it is commercial and awful then please let us know! Anonymity can be arranged for the easily embarrassed/canned.

yikes, look like she might have worn a really, really tight corset that made her waist disappear. or something like that.
it's like she's made of silly putty. hahahaha. don't hold her by the shoulders she'll just keep stretching till her butt is on the floor
wv: epremu
What do you figure she looks like standing up?
It doesn't look THAT weird until you turn your head sideways
@2XL:
whaaaaaaaat? yes it fucking does.
The liquify tool is not meant to be used literally!
OUCH....
No more Pilates classes for a while..
O.K.
damn that's one skinny girl
So she has a freakishly tiny waist. Like in the other photos of her on that site. Are you really suggesting they messed up her waist like that in photoshop, but left in the wrinkles on her left side?
Not buying it. Freaky physique, yes. PsD, I doubt it.
If you don't want to dig around, here's one example:
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9899/freakywaist.jpg
The chick has a freakishly small waist.
Just check the shadow...
If this lady is real, I have no problem believing this ad is real too.
@"Lou Montana": you are correct that the shadow does look suspect at a glance, but it's not impossible. The light's not coming directly from the camera, in which case the shadow would match exactly the woman's figure as we see it. If she was a cardboard cut-out, yes, the shadow shape would match exactly.
@ "I": You've busted me. you're correct in that I've never seen a women naked, guilty as charged. Their breasts feel like bags of sand, right?
Well, if people are simply saying that she has a freakishly small waist, they should mention that she more than likely had some ribs removed to make it like that.
Verification word: midionts

Mr. Incredible.
I have to say, I have known girls who can twist like that irl. It looks freaky, and it tends to be a combination of being 5'10" and having a BMI of about 18, plus being young and lithe ... I'm not saying that's the case here, just that it's not as far from reality as it might be...
They've also been pretty sloppy with any shopping they have done. I mean, she's skinny, but they didn't smooth out the sides of her body where it meets the elastic of those panties, nor the shadow on the left, and they left wrinkles in on her left hip - which would be unthinkable in the perfectly airbrushed world of fashion models.
I dunno...
wv: musholoc
Gross...
Look at the shadows! They don't match!
The Vashta Nerada are going to eat her.
I meant the size of her waist as well. I'm not going to swim upstream on this one because... well, I can't be arsed, to be honest; but while it does look odd, it's not necessarily impossible. Anyone else here able to do a Uddiyana Bandha? I can.
It may not be a question of how many of us have encountered a naked woman. It may be a question of how many of us encounter anyone whose body isn't completely atrophied by western diets and lifestyle - and which does not mean they resort to self-starvation.
Maybe she has scoliosis.
Vashta Nerada! AHAHAHAHAH!
Well, I AM a female, and I think this looks entirely plausible. But whatever. No one is going to change their opinion just because I said so.
Maybe "I." has only seen corn (syrup) fed girls nekkid. Who knows.
Hell, my girlfriend has a tiny waist with a nicely sized booty. Not as extreme as this, but not insanely far off, either.
This isn't a stretch, again look at the other photos of her. David's on the money here, plenty of women look close to that. Maybe just not as common in the mid-west...
@"Ebony McKenna" : check out the comment I already made about the seemingly different shadow shape. The only time shadows match the shape exactly is when they are from straight on, or the form leaving the shadow is 2D. As amatter of fact, if the shadow matched *exactly* the profile from the front view, it'd be more suspect as a bad photoshop job.
I must say, the bent spine looked odd to me, the waist didn't especially.
It is a small waist, but not unheard of... My ex's body was quite imilar to hers.
html went haywire on me there.
On the plus side, I did a wonderful impression of a tabloid editorial.
wtf is wrong with her waist?? o__O
I don't see the problem. I know it's terribly unfashionable on PSD to appreciate models who don't look like the rest of us but that doesn't mean they aren't real.
As a connoisseur of vintage smut I can assure you that, whether or not this particular image has been shopped, it is nowhere near impossible. I'm sorry to inform you chubsters out there that slim girls are not like unicorns, fairies or God- they really do exist.
And furthermore, slim girls with great tits and comely hips are not the stuff of myth; they used to roam all over this Earth before the 'muffin-top' became fashionable.
To those of you bleating about the rarity of such lovely ladies, what do you think model agencies are paid to do if not search for perfect models?
@ "I",
Take a chill pill. As your last post makes clearer than I'm sure you intended, it is not anyone else who is subscribing to a limiting normative female "type" here. It is you.
A woman unable to position herself in this way might be photoshopped to make it look as if she did. But given the proportion of people among the highly unrepresentative sample of people posting here who can speak from personal experience that this is not necessarily photoshopped, I think it might be wise of you to hold back on the accusations that it is everyone else who does not know what a real woman looks like.
whoa, that is freakin twisted. Like a clay sculpture gone wrong. ugggh!
gawd, i love this blog. ahaha
I was agnostic on the waist, until I looked at the hips compared with the rest of her. They're huge. That's just not normal.
@The Sophisticate's Diary
Dude, this is not the place for your stupid "atheist" quips.
not like unicorns, fairies or God- they really do exist
Geez folks, didn't you watch Aeon Flux on MTv?
http://media.photobucket.com/image/aeon%20flux/danceinmiami/AeonFluxAwe.jpg
@ Owretchedman:
Really? And why is that? I hadn't been informed which categories of 'quip' were permissible here. Please do enlighten us. I'm sure we all await your edict with barely contained indifference.

When you said that I had to try it (although I'm not 5'10") so I yanked out my mirror and I fully agree that its entirely possible that this is real.
It involves pushing your rib cage to the side while holding your waist still (don't think that's possible then watch those ballroom dancers do the Rumba, that's a key technique point)
I think what's throwing people off most of all is the lack of ribs showing through her skin. If a woman is this thin, surely her ribs would be showing.
It looks to me like most of the Photoshopping in this photo went into making those bony ribs disappear.
I like atheist quips. Keep them coming.
I don't think that it is a disaster. Has it been shopped? Maybe. But if the whole point of shopping the picture is to give her a smaller waistline, then it was a success. I don't see any obvious "disasters" like limbs missing and whatnot. This is PhotoshopDisasters not PhotoshopThatLooksOddSoItMustBeADisaster.
is it me, or does she appear to have a normal waistline and REALLY BIG hips and thighs
Sure, I believe that some women might really look like that.
Do I believe that someone with such naturally grotesque proportions could get work as an underwear model? Not really.
Hi! My name is Taffy!
Wow!
@ TSB
"To those of you bleating about the rarity of such lovely ladies, what do you think model agencies are paid to do if not search for perfect models?"
What do YOU think model agencies are paid for, if such "lovely" ladies are not rare enough to be a commodity?
yikes. this is what our models are now?
wv: carcombo
I have been following this blog for a long time and find it very amusing. :-)
However, I must say, I am getting a little tired of being called a "freak". The thing with the double jointed elbows - well - actually we are many people who can "over-stretch" our arms.
And now - having a slender waist is freaky? Please!
I agree that many models are too skinny to be called attractive. But it is not "freaky" to have a small waist. And it is not "freaky" to be able to over-stretch your arms, legs or fingers.
And being small-waisted, double-jointed or lithesome does not make you into a living, breathing "PhotoShop-disaster".
In a perfect world all woman are built like this
Internal organs? Who needs internal organs these days?
& lol @ the hips.
Argh, she looks in pain.
people, come on.
instead of arguing based on what your girlfriend does or does not look like - save the picture, blow it up until you can see whether or not there are weird smooth areas or oddly pixelated areas - such as say an incredibly smooth, unpixelated stomach surrounding a normally pixeled, very sharp-looking belly button and arms that are unevenly smooth in the middle, but not the edges.
The shadow is a bit suspicious. But honestly, I have no problem believing this photo. I have a very small waist with large hips, and if I contort myself, I can pretty much look like that.
Compare the left hip to right: on the right hip (where the sitting position already stretches her thigh) the rubber bands cuts clearly in the flesh. Not so on the other side. Where you expected something like Imogen's shadow the photoshop artist has created whole new kind of anatomy. Only he forgot that upper torso was in upright position.
If you need to do all that just to see if it has been photoshopped then it is obviously not a disater.
Awful.
People, you are missing it. It's not the waist. It's the place where her clavicles and sternomastoid come together below her neck.
i have seen girls that look this way in real life. nothing really messed up here.
People need to stop letting virgins work on shops like these. Use someone who's actually SEEN a naked women so they can do it correctly.
