This is obviously a design choice, or perhaps even a commentary by the 'Shopper to show that possessions are fleeting and ephemeral, and I'm also unsubscribing blah.

Randal L. Schwartz said...

My girlfriend's handbag can do that.

Not to mention that weird religious symbol she's wearing on her chest. Order of the Holy Magnifers?

!blame CERN

Sara said...

pfft. if they had deleted the handle THEN it would have looked silly.

Philangelus said...

It's the leash for her invisible dog Ralph.

David said...

and you can also see how the shopper has made her teeth much whiter.

It makes me so angry my girlfriend has just put her foot through the PC monitor and sent Victoria's Secret the bill.

It looks like the purse is large and heavy. She looks so happy, she must be the first one on her block with the almost-invisible purse. Fool muggers!

Your comment is appreciated. For increased efficiency please press one of the following on your keypad.
1. Not a disaster, I am so offended I could cry.
2. I am unsubscribing, you will miss me so much.
3. I am a graphic designer, and smarter than everyone at school.
4. Here is a paint file with vague coloured lines bent to my opinion
5. The lame 'girlfriend' meme
6. The lame 'home schooled' meme
7. 'FAIL' is so witty. FAIL! FAIL! LOL! OMG!!!!1
8. That's the other person's leg
9. It's intentional, can't you fools understand art?

To add a smug, condescending tone to your post press 0.

I just don't get why they bothered deleting the purse at all (unless it had some sort of logo all over it).

That's hardly a natural pose - it *looks* like she should have a bag at the end of her arm. I find it hard to believe VS doesn't have some generic purses to use at photoshoots...

salzano said...

bash the bashers. circle and enlarge the mistakes. some respect for your audience on display, here.

kbfenner said...

I guess it would have spoiled the elegant design (!) to say "bag not available," so they had to delete the bag. They paid for the manicure, so they couldn't crop the hand. Don't you people understand anything!

I like the candy bar idea--it's a diet candy bar!

Drew said...

Stop pressing 0, tome! Once is enough.

David Spalding said...

Okay, if you're going to go full-court snarky about Photoshop errors, use spell check and grammar check on the one sentence commentary you fire back. Glass houses, stones, and all that.

David said...

I'm pretty certain the poor spelling and grammar is intentional.

David said...

David Spalding... Priceless.

no...I can see it, honest I can, eh!!

Hello?! It's supposed to be that way! Invisible handbags are completely hip this fall.

We can SUBSCRIBE? How the hell can I subscribe? I WANNA KNOW! Do you have to subscribe before you can be an unsubscriber? If I'm a subscriber, do I get an "unsubscriberer" button on my browser somewhere? If I unsubscribe do I have to write a note about it first so you'll all be sorry and ashamed? Can my girlfriend unsubscribe FOR me?

DmL said...

Whoa, watch where you're waving that thing!

jambalie said...

OMG, these comments are not a disaster! These are mostly funny and I can clearly follow their logic. tome and Waldobaby - You people are starting to think you've found humor everywhere. You probably watch comedians and laugh.

Teresa said...

Glad to see I'm not the only woman who loves carrying the straps, and only the straps, of my purse around.

Loved the commentary! Hehe!!

Sophisticated Diary and tome are my internet Heroes of the Day. I laughed.

Invisibags are SO in this year.

Sili said...

What? You don't carry around small owls? Weirdos.

Daniele said...

9.

ewaffle said...

Re: Cosmo's commentary:

I vote for a small owl. Sounds very fashionable, like those tiny dogs the celebutants carry.

Re: The invisible purse itself:

Does it also have invisible contents or does it have a "cloak of invisibility" that renders everything inside not visible as well?

NoJags Neil said...

Not small owl. Audrey 2.

Hacker Factor said...

I have a general theory of image manipulation: They never change 'just one thing'.

So while the handbag is pretty obvious (I love how the red bricks stop being square...), what else was modified?

I ran it though my battery of image analysis tests. I'm still laughing.
In the PCA (Principal Component Analysis), you can clearly see two round circles on her chest. They removed her nipples!

They also added an artificial blur to the background, touched up her face, touched up her extended arm, reshaped her extended arm's biceps, whitened her teeth, and gave her a bigger chest.

The image has also been repeatedly saved to JPEG. Before modifying the dress (and chest), it was saved at a low quality.

If anyone wants more detail, let me know and I'll write up my findings in a blog post at hackerfactor.com.

Amy Lyn said...

owls are good. nipples are bad. i hate you.

Ok i know this is unrelated, but anyone else notice the comments are https: as opposed to http: So my question is why do we need to encrypt our comments?

If the model in your photoshoot's hand was being attacked by an octopus, you'd try to photoshop it out too.

Wow, you're really sensitive.

tome said...

Drew:"Stop pressing 0, tome! Once is enough."

I honestly try not to 7 at being 0 but I was 3 for a long time. At least I don't 4.

Back in Quark days when I was a 'studio manager' dodgy artwork was always trying to escape from Colditz. Usually an old version mysteriously swapped with the final. You could lock them under 24hr guard but like poltergeists they'd somehow exit locked boxes. Versioning is the thing.

Oh and brilliant PS operators can't spell.

lorrwill said...

Is she phasing into another dimension starting with her handbag or is her handbag just lagging behind her materialization? hmmmm.

Tammi said...

ZaphodQB - LOL!

emmie said...

This fial, unsubscribering!

Hur hur!

Daemonmonkey said...

Don't you people get it?

This poor girl has just been robbed, the robber cut off the handles with his super-sharp Samurai sword and has just left the scene (for several 10ths of minutes ago)

And as she's so happy that she just got out several millions from the bank and has them in her purse she doesn't notice the change of weight in her hand...

WV: detorser: what she's doping now

Daemonmonkey said...

"doping" = doing

(but I think it was funnier that way)

Your link is a real PsD !!!

Miranda said...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

a small owl.

*spits coffee all over desk*

Props, man!

Isha said...

This blog is really the viral marketing arm of Victoria's secret, isn't it? ISN' IT? That's the only explanation as to why you feature so many Victoria's secret ads, that or they do all their work in a Cambodian sweatshop. The one right next to where their nighties are made. Sew lingerie by day! Learn valuable computer skills by night! Earn your dollar a day!

ailaG said...

Not a disaster. She's holding false teeth. PSD FAIL

JJ said...

'small owl' - loved it. Miranda - you were lucky you had coffee.
