The Doctored Diet



Smashonistas, I heard there is a new diet in town and it does not involve the disgusting act of sticking your finger down your throat. That diet trend is dead. (I hope). Aside from the possibility of looking like Hillary Duff with her toothy veneers (to put it nicely) after all the enamel wears off your chompers there is also the problem of yuk breath. I was never any good at it anyway. Some people are calling this new diet the "Photoshop Diet." I myself call it the "Doctored Diet" Last year it was Ralph Lauren's unbelievably skinny model and this year Ann Taylor. Hey I am all for this diet. Sign me up. The camera adds ten pounds anyways right and never in the right places. Besides, now the fashion industry doesn't have to work with skeletons losing their hair, who pass out during photo shoots because all they had to eat today was a lick of gum and a can of diet soda. Time is money. Just a nip tuck with a click of a mouse and poof you got your sickly I mean stickly looking model. Smashonistas sometimes you got to fight fire with fire. With Americans battling obesity are these images really such a big deal? How many stickly people do you work with, go to school with or know for that matter? None, right but whose friend vainly swore to them this morning in the break room that they would start their diet today and has already munched down a snickers bar a bag of kettle cooked chips and a piece of coconut cake their sister baked for them all before lunchtime? You see most people need to be looking at these kinds of photos. One day the silly scary skinny model trend will die off and people everywhere will have a good laugh and breathe a sigh of relief. Smashonistas if you are interested in the "Doctored Diet" Here is a link to the 2010 Photo Editing Software Review Product Comparisons.
