FHM Germany: Put Your Little Leg In

Disaster? Really?
I don't get it... what's wrong with it?
Look at the legs, the bottom section of the leg is proportionately bigger than the top section.
Seriously, her leg is the same diameter as her arm. If you think women actually look like this, you are the victim of a distorted world view, and you should probably eat more.
i'm not entirely sure this is a disaster. legs are thicker from the side than strait on. I dunno.
Doesn't seem so bad. I'll forgive her her disporportion. But how about you mirror experts out there. Is that really her reflection?
I think anorexic models frequently look like that. And it doesn't look that far out of proportion. If you compare ankle-to-knee with knee-to-hip, it looks ok. Certainly not disaster-worthy.
I don't think the humerus is supposed to be longer than the femur
and then there is the matter of the missing bra-straps...
the thigh on the right is too short.
you can also see at the bottom of her "skirt" that they forgot to cut out whatever is there when they resized.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this photo. The legs are fine...tall, grossly skinny models look like this. She's wearing black nylons that blend with her black platform shoes which is why her lower legs look so long in comparisson with the upper. You can see in the reflection that her bra straps cross in the back. That's why they aren't clear from the front...because they line up with her hair!!
Wait a minute...Where did her thighs go? I mean from a length-wise standpoint. It's almost straight from butt to knees. Thighs aren't that short.
Katie, the boots explain her right leg, but nothin explain that left leg.
See where the so-said-knee is: even if you consider the position of the hips, the thigh seems way too short, as if the was stepping in something above the floor that later was removed ... and they (over)compensated with some leg stretching
I'm pretty sure that even anorexic models's arms are the same width, and that their legs are equal width too. It seems to me that her left side is skinnier than her right side.
I can do that.
:)
I think people are stretching here to find a distaster. It's not attractive, but it doesn't seem particularly note-worthy either.
Not to mention the fact that her bra straps (which you can see in the mirrors) seem to disappear when they come round the front, but hey, I guess they could be behind her hair, right?
I dunno what people are looking at. I just measured, and her calf and thigh come out to the right length. You can do it yourself if you're not sure.
Yeah I gotta say... may be a mishap, but not a disaster.
For the people who have problems with the bra straps, you're wrong. I own several bras of the same type. The straps are pretty far on the outside of the cup and assist in the push-up action that's going on there.
Also, the legs are proportioned right as far as length. They may be grotesquely skinny but that's what models look like. (and sure, they may have been shopped thinner, but that's nothing if not normal.)
She's a healthy lass - nothing anorexic about her. But that left leg just isn't quite right. The top of her thigh is just a little too thin compared with her overall body shape, and if I was forced to guess I'd say that they slightly overused the flattery tool.
Could there be a woman who looked like this? I'm prepared to believe it. However don't forget, this is FHM...
Something is surely wrong with the legs... but look at the hand!
There are missing fingers or something...
and from the look of the mirror and the shadows in the front I can't tell if it was originally in front or behind the head...
vw: prenlis?
When you inflate a balloon you have to make sure that the air fills it equally around the bends. This may mean that you give the rubber a few stretches before blowing to loosen it up. As you can see all the air has gone one way leaving under inflated bits.
I think this is one of those disasters that you have to stare at and think about to get....but it's still a disaster. Think about it. If she doesn't pose and stands normally, her legs would be FAR too thin to support her upper body. Even if she is a very thin model, I highly doubt her torso would be so wide in proportion to her legs.
You people are cracked! This is a terrible PS job. She looks like her legs will break! I can't believe they thought she was 'fat' and did that to the shot.
For those of you who think the bra straps have been removed, have a look at this picture which shows the straps without her hair over them.
Also as far as her top half being dispoportionately large - breast implants will give that effect.
How in the hell can you call her a healthy lass? GUH!
BEAUTY ALWAYS COVERED IN FLIMSY..
This is SO not a disaster!
I Google-imaged her and she seems to just have incredibly thin legs especially when seen from the front . . .
Not a disaster maybe, I mean, I've TOTALLY seen worse in Cosmo or Maxim. But I agree with bfalig; she's really not that skinny- arms and stomach wise- and because the legs are a main part of the pic, they shopped them up a bit. But then again, they might have shopped out her visible vertebra (in the other pics) and ribs, and she really is going to die soon...Hard to tell. Her ass looks like my Grandma's before she went- where your leg goes all the way up into your back. Women like this look like senior citizens in real life- pale, frail, and sickly.

Here is here straight on- I'd say they were a wee bit photoshopped! She's like the Kim Kardashian of Germany.
I'll throw my lot in with David on this one; there is probably no disaster although something's not quite right. I'll vote for bad photography combined with that dreadful hipster tutu thing and too short stockings.
BUT; as I write, the difference in thigh length from welt (stocking-top) to crotch hits me! I can't see what they've doen but it looks wrong.
"Zack, die Bohne" her famous words from the "Germanys next Topmodel". The mean really nothing.....
@trista
That's a normal body! Now compare this psd and tell me they didn't thin her legs beyond belief.
wv: supdeen
hi...Im from brasil.
look at the mirrors...the images...on the back of the room...it's not the sama bra...
sorry for the bad english!!
Not normal. I see the disaster. Her left leg...ie. the one on the right is rather hinky. It's off. A little piece is missing or something and it looks placed, not at all natural. It's not the skinniness or the anorexia, it's just not flowing right.
I think she really is that bony. That particular pose is also designed to make your legs look thinner (which obviously she does not need at all).
*throws cheeseburgers* Mangia! Mangia! Mangia!
tut tut. this thing that's so mild that no one can even agree on what's wrong with it gets picked while my very awesome disaster from the nyt is ignored for weeks. in other words, qqqqqq ;_;

Forget about the girl. Look at the architecture behind her. Its a mess.
Congratulations! Your blog is the best about photoshop mistakes!!!

I agree with what "Marina said..."
There's nothing wrong with this PHOTO!!!! If you could read German, She is the winner of Ms. Physically Impaired Germany. Her beauty and weird stumpy knee/thigh thing is the only reason she's in FHM!!! She's just lucky she didn't live in Hitler's time when people with physical deformities were killed instead of celebrated.
As a wise man once said to the models, "remember girls, nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!"
There is nothing wrong with this photo, nor is she unreasonably thin, sheesh. 20 or 30 years ago, she would have been considered slightly chubby. Weight standards have obviously changed (for the worse).
But no, I see no disaster here.
Doh i thinked it is bad mirror reflection.
Sry for bad English.
Anyone who thinks there's nothing wrong with this photo needs to stop looking at photos and go outside for a long walk.
Legs don't fit the body. They're not even close.
Marina! My gosh, THAT is bad! I hope it gets put up!

Jeff and David-
Obviously you have never seen a real naked woman if you think she is healthy or "slightly chubby". Stop looking at so much porn.
guys have read too many anatomy books with their 'the human figure is eight heads high' rap. anything that goes out of this is now a psd!!!!!! also this gal's weight is on her left leg, which makes her left stocking seem higher. wat i dont believe is those reflections
Joe, how is her weight on her left leg when she's leaning forward and to her right?
yap, true, weight on both legs. her waist line slants down to the right though. hmmm... am begining to believe the reflections too. did someone too lazy to do accurate reflections actualy bother with giving each fake reflection a diferent background? they aren't the same.
i dont see anything wrong with this picture, other than her implants which made her look not proportionate.
This isn't a disaster, she's just.. y'know. Handicapped. Its so nice to see differently abled people fulfilling their dreams of being tooth-pick legged super models.
No seriously, this is pretty shoddy PS work.
I couldn't tell at first, but after reading the comments, then I looked again. It's subtle though.
I'd call it a photoshop success in some ways...

This isn't as colossal or funny a disaster as the others on here...
If I saw that in reality, I would kill it.
Meh, could be a PSD, could be real; some chicks (especially models) do have distorted bodies; and this isn't horribly distorted enough to convince me. Im not saying it isnt, im just saying its questionable.
I see a different chick on the train everyday I think would probably get slated as a PSD on this site :p And lets face it, if you have to question it, its not a 'disaster', at best its 'not brilliant' work.
There's enough attrotious PSDs out there to last a lifetime, i dunno why the OP continues to post such flimsy examples. Shootin' himself in the foot if you ask me.
If I saw that in reality, I would kill it.
The leg to our right seems too a little too small, but otherwise she just looks like a girl with skinny legs. I have skinny legs too, and it's pretty much a straight line through calf-knee/thigh.
So many of the 'anatomy' posts on here I don't quite see. Skinny models contorting themselves into awkward or 'sexay' poses can look any number of ways without it being an editing mistake. Not that I am doubting that everything is photoshopped to death, much of it poorly.
Have you noticed that you see her back in the mirror? There are some thing that should hold op her bra, but where are they? (frontside)
"She's a healthy lass - nothing anorexic about her."
"20 or 30 years ago, she would have been considered slightly chubby."
Lol. This woman's anatomy is so out-of-whack, 20 or 30 years ago, before our perceptions of beauty were screwed up by Photoshop, she wouldn't even have been considered human. The legs:torso size ratio is more befitting of some kind of insect or small rodent. She definitely does not look like this IRL.
Look at the mirrors behind her. There are straps on her back whereas in the front, there are no straps. That makes no geometric sense, hence it makes her breasts bigger than they already are.
Her right thigh is a little thicker than her left.
Plus, she is pushing her body forward so it doesn't make her stomach protrude as much.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this. Skinny models exist.
hmmmmmm couldnt see it
Whats up with her hand?? the one on her head. Looks like a claw.
bra straps aren't missing, they are hidden in the front by her hair. the straps go along the out-most sides of the bra
the reason you see straps in the mirror and not in the front on her is because the straps are hidden under her hair, not photoshopped. they pull up on the sides thus promoting the even fuller set of breasts you see, and it squeezes them together giving them a more luscious look.
Looks more like the angle of her left leg is making it look smaller than the other. If her right leg was facing the camera the same way as the left, it would look the same.
Look behind her in the mirror. There where straps to her bra that have just disappeared. Com'on people, be a lil' bit more observant. ;)
Look behind her in the mirror... there where straps to her bra, that disappered. Com'on people, be a lil' bit more observant. ;)
