If my girlfriend could do that I don't think I'd have time to write this blog.
Thanks to Marc!

Espace Maillots De Bain: Are You Pulling My Leg?

*singing* She's got legs! And she knows how to use them!
Not only the legs are too long, but it seems to me as if the lower body (incl legs, starts about where the elbow ends) is of a different woman. There's a color difference between the segments.
Oh, man, I didn't notice it at first but not that I do I feel queasy to my stomach....
I remember seeing that ad all over Parisian metro stations some weeks ago, but I never had the chance to photograph it,
glad someone else did!
the shine and the grease on the fake tan is just so gross. white women should not attempt to get a fake tan, period.
These ads are running right now in the Paris Métro and I recall seeing one and being pretty disturbed, but then seeing the same ad again and thinking that it looked normal. Maybe something having to do with the curved walls?
foot-leg fetish paradise, actually.
What's wrong with it? I think it's just the extended foot.
I LOVE and am a HUGE fan of your blog! Hope you can take the time to check out my site!
We sell Vintage and Designer clothes, shoes, and accessories all in one place. We have some really great things up right now! Studded boots, Alexander Wang halter top, and vintage blazers. Check it out!

Curved walls of Paris Metropolitain? I thought so too. But the same image is on flat billboards.
On the other hand, the sales were ridiculous - old and ugly clothes were on sale, and the new and pretty ones were at regular (over)price.
This girl would like 8 feet tall. Her legs and body don't match up. Either that, or she just has a duo toned body. Could be both. An 8 foot tall, two-toned woman.
Ohhh... to be single again.
Passport Foodie
Nothing wrong with her ...
Espace Maillots de Bain? Espace is space, maillot de bain is bathing suit, sometimes known as swim(ming) trunks. Thus, Espace Maillot de Bain= Trunk space?
kingmonkey : espace maillots de bain = swimsuit department.
No big deal.
I think Tilman's right that two different bodies are involved. There's a visible line at about the waist.
The legs and feet do look freakishly elongated, too.

Could it be she is wearing a "bodysuit" and isn't really naked?

She's a "white" woman?
By the way the colour change at her waist is because it's two different sheets of poster.
You can see the join further down - it affects the text.
So, it's the foot that's messed up. The model, fortunately, is just one person.
The color mismatch is a result of the press not maintaining good color sheet to sheet during the run. Not actually a result of retouching.
look at the right leg (the one at the rear), it looks kind of detached from the body, no?
The photographer is Jean-Paul Goude.
Extentions are deliberate.

thanks, dda.
You can read that too :
http://sleevage.com/grace-jones-island-life/
Describing the concept, Goude says [...]“that’s the basis of my entire work: creating a credible illusion.”
Yes yes but how did she reach around and undo her knickers with her foot?
i bet she has to wear a special shoe on the other one...
MGCDT!!
(my girlfriend can do that!!)
hahaha
I bet she was home schooled
the only thing truly disturbing me is the obvious line where the top of the android was connected to the bottom half...oh wait, it's supposed to be a real girl?
WV: mimoz, as in this is what happens when you don't pay attention to the mimoz saying, "don't publish w/o corrections..."
Wooooow.... must have that girl! This picture means that her legs end where my face begins - um... tasty...
it's a poster right ? Hence the line i'd say
as DDA said, this is Jean Paul Goude work, it could be as strange as you want, it is not a disaster but the goal of the artist to create such bodies. You can post here all Gallerie Lafayette ads created since 10 years on this blog as most of them are girls with infinite legs, and sometime in imposible positions.
Once again PSD confuses art with disaster.

So do a lot of artists.
I wouldn't be surprised if this ad hasn't been photoshopped at all.
Some people do have long legs for their bodies (like most models) and people that don't go to tanning saloons tan unevenly...
By far the best caption ever.
...yeah not only are there different color segments "tan lines" on the girl but did anyone notice how they photoshopped several vertical billboard lines on here? Including one that hits the girl around the upper waistline.
not only that but they photoshopped some exposed wall at the top left corner and bottom!
come to think of it, the other day someone photoshopped some bird poop onto the stop sign at the end of my street. I should remember my camera next time I leave the house.
You're just jealous we have girls like that in France! And as several people said, the majority of publicités from Galeries Lafayette qualifies as 'PsD' if this one does...
Well obviously this is totes a PSD fail because all they did was take a picture of a plastic doll.
lol!!! ;)
Sometimes I think the people who put these things together are on psychedelic drugs. I mean... if a woman looks like shiny orange plastic and her legs are twice too long, and you think she looks pretty groovy, then it's either shrooms or acid, man.
God, she's like a real-life Barbie doll...
Measure the legs. One is longer than the other.
Jean Paul Goude managed to do this sort of thing competently decades before Photoshop existed-- armed only with scissors and a passing-knowledge of human anatomy.
For shame!
I think there's something very wrong with J. Depp's eye in this photo
http://spellbounding.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/inimigos-publicos.jpg
She's also been enskinnied (skinnified?). Nobody looks like that unless they're wearing a corset.
I also really want rotisserie chicken now, for some reason.
Hi there. My dad married an adjustable-legs barbiedoll. Incase you're wondering, blah blah blah...
Also, as others have mentioned, the source of the ad should be 'Galeries Lafayette', not 'Espace maillots de bain'. 'Espace maillots de bain' just means the area where they sell the bathing suits. Putting it in the title of the post is ridiculous: it's like attributing the ad to 'The Bathing Suit Department.'
LOL @ Espace Maillots De Bain.
too shiny. other than that, i don't see anything wrong with her.

What strikes me is that while I understand that Goude attempts to create an illusion of reality, much as he did with Grace Jones' "impossible arabesque," the pose the model is holding here is far from extraordinary. In Jones' case, what appears to be just a difficult pose is actually anatomically impossible. Here, not so much... so Goude's artistic touches, as opposed to making the impossible seem real, just make the very feasible look badly faked. I'mma say it's probably not a PSD, but it's still pretty lame.
Not too many people that commented saw what was so bad about this pic, did they?
Nice red bikini bottom, huh....................
This is the first time I encountered a bottom-less hot chick, with the top still on. Nice shot, thanks for sharing it!

Here, you can see it on a flat surface. It's actually several years old, and I've always thought it was on purpose...
i don't understand the caption, what can she do? have long legs? wear a bathing suit?
long legs: possible in human beings
lined color-division: possible print error, since the mismatch goes on to the bottom writings
the only real problem I see in this picture:
WTF is that ultra pale skin piece right below her breast?
PSD or not, this is still one of my fav blogs. I learned a lot just from reading the comments on this post.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.. she has long legs and kinda big feet.. that's how it's supposed to work. Also peoples bodies tan differently from head to toe, so it's not necessarily someone elses body.
You know, I've seen that Grace Jones pic a thousand times and never noticed that it was manipulated. When I was a contortionist I could do something similar (reach behind my head, standing on one leg and grab the other foot), so I always assumed that's what Grace was doing.
I guess he just has a thing for pantsless, rubbery, way-too-shiny women.
I heard from a friend whose close friend is a male-to-female transsexual that a lot of swimsuit/lingerie models are actually transwomen because they have longer legs than biological women...now you know.
she's got some wonderful sexy legs...... which cause me ......

Sacre bleu! When I posted my comment about Jean Paul Goude last week, I hadn't read the comment attributing THIS monstrosity to him!
Poor Jean Paul's vision must be failing.

I think the arm is tooooo long! :)
Dan
FYI : the model is Laetitia Casta.
She does have long legs !

Acutally...
This girl (her name is Lisa Marie) was photographed by my husband a few months ago. She's 5'11" and has REALLY long legs, and she is REALLY thin, and I doubt this was manipulated too much.
And, she tans red, not bronze brown.
I'm a photo retoucher...
I'm french and this picture too. this picture is normal (in the real life) it's just the support. the photograph take this picture in Paris underground(or subway, sorry my english is bad !), i can see it with tile. in the underground all advertising are rounded by the wall. So the top of picture is on front and the bottom is far. see it http://www.controleradar.org/data6/image-metro-1.jpg
what, so one shin is 6" longer than the other one, what's the big deal. she's a little deformed OK, but she's doing the best with what God gave her. LEAVE HER ALONE DAMMIT!!1!
I think it's the same woman. I would have photographed the legs in two different positions and stretched them individually then pasted it back together.
The left leg is photographed with the right leg down... then you can stretch it on it's own... then you shoot with the right leg in position and the left leg down and you can see where the right leg was pasted back on top (bad paste, no feather or blend).
Apparently the arm too although I am not sure why... it does not seem to be stretched?
