Oh well, maybe there's a cream you can put on that.

Thanks to Anon! Original is here!

Aww she's like a baby giraffe :)

leigh said...

well, that looks comfortable.
lolreal never fails.

ShinjiPG said...

How? What? Can? Ugh? Her hand? What's up with that LOREALE?! Jesus christ.

Beth said...

not only does she have a neck like a giraffe, she has a left hand growing out of the crook of her right elbow

PainPain said...

Wow. Crazy. That really is an obvious disaster.

David said...

Agree with Beth - almost as soon as the neck registered, I felt cold spasms running down my back when I saw the hand. Some people are just determined to get on this site, obviously.

Jérem' said...

No way! someone got to be fired for that creepy mess ^^ lol

amandalikes said...

yet another reason not to buy loreal. They don't just test on animals it would seem

DanH said...

Quite obviously pasted-on hair too. In fact, I highly doubt anything more than the face belongs to Miss Cruz... truly stunning.

Judith Schaechter said...

That's a face LIFT alright....

heath said...

It's messed up, and quite the fail... but the "hand growing out of the arm" is easily dismissed. It looks odd, but it's not impossible by any means. Ya see, wrists bend. Then the arm can go down to the elbow before up again.

At least... my wrist bends. Maybe I'm weird that way.

Zanapher said...

Don't be too harsh on them. L'Oreal is only a small business with little means to afford expensive designers to work on their image.

It's not like they're a huge multinational whose only focus is in making billions and building a dreamy image towards the public...

Loner Gamer said...

Wow, that looks hecka painful.

Pink said...

O.O

Scott said...

It looks like she was assembled from spare parts, including man hands. Look at the size of those flippers. It's like she's Ann Coulter.

Lucy said...

I... I d... I don't... I don't know quite what to say... except that it's terrible. It's... oh, it's wrong, it's so, so wrong...

Scott - you're right. And man hands. Seinfeld.


Verification - smaym

Tiffany said...

It's possible that her hair is falling in such a way that it hides her shoulders and makes her neck look way too long...

... but I'm thinking that's not the case.

mira masque said...

Wow she looks terrible. I don't understand how they think people won't notice how shoddy this is.

another surrealist photoshop masterpiece...totally intentional.

P. C. phone home!!

BloggingWatchdog said...

Now that's just CREEPY. XD

John said...

Tiffany: I'm pretty sure that's what is happening. But the end result is so creepy that it still counts as a disaster.

Tyler and Shelley said...

I have seen some bad lifts, but that is high up on the list. Yikes!

heath said...

You know, I think Tiffany may be quite right:

Look at this

I just removed the hair and the neck no longer looks freakishly long.

Still, they did some massive smoothing and who knows what else that makes this just look... bad.

Zamba said...

She seems happy anyway!

Alex said...

It sort of looks like someone is reaching out from in front of the photo to grab her chin. And once you visualize that, you realize that part of her left arm or wrist is missing.....

adler said...

oh no, this is intentional and fail. totally. yes.

Ciriaco said...

L'OLréal! Scary sh*t...

Alex said...

Am I the only one who can see her hand melting into her arm? Or is everyone too caught up in whether or not her neck is too long?

Liz said...

The question is not if you can see THE error - but how many errors can you find in this photo?
1. Neck - like that of a giraffe
2. Left hand
3. Scale of hands
4. Highlight on left bosom (main light source clearly from left, arms would like obstruct any fill)

This makes you look twice - makes a great teaching sample...

thanks for posting it!

David said...

Heath, it's not the right wrist that's the problem. As Alex says, her left pinkie is dissolving into her right arm. You aren't going to tell me your left hand does that, I guess.

Moonbrained Mare said...

@ heath: hey, yeah! Well, kind of. I think you're totally right the neck isn't too tall upwards, but, I think it's too "tall" downward. I reckon it's a lack of shading issue; which makes the whole area flat obviously but also it means the neck continues downward where it should stop and the chest should start. And thus, a sexy sexy giraffe look.

Photoxris said...

gadzooks! The question on this one is "why?". Shadow maybe? i couldn't imagine removing a clavical or anything....

Patrick said...

hahaha...it's like in family guy
Cleveland "Sea biscuit, sea biscuit"
"I'm not Sea biscuit,...I'm Penelope Cruz!"

Josh said...

This is one of the worst disasters I have ever seen. Its not just the neck - the hand/arm apparently belongs to a 50 year-old giant...

Miranda said...

L'Oreal: Because you're totally not worth it? :P

macdaddy said...

Ok I suck at seeing the mistakes but come on. Even I see this disaster.

nansulak said...

this had me giggling for at least 20 minutes today

Archimer said...

Well, it fooled me!

Anybody else get the feeling that she has five extra elbows?

wh said...

oh c'mon, this is not a disaster!

I can do this with my neck right now! ...and with my hand ...and shoulder!

May said...

I suppose they figure the hair on her shoulders would explain for the length of her neck, but that is just a bit excessive.

This is one of those photos that gets funnier the more I stare at it :D

That photo has been in the supermarkets a while now. Long freaky neck. -shiver-

Irja said...

Auch, it hurts to look at. Lolreal, seriously, save money in some other way, dont hire a fourteen year old wannabe to do your work for you.
Painful.

Ted Belton said...

I like my girls just like this. nice and Giraffey. ohh baby.

Mo said...

OK so her hand floating in out of nowhere is completely creepy, but her face is still beautiful. Although many people think her sister is more beautiful. I hear her sister is moving in to be her competition in the US.
