gah.
Okay. This has been bothering me for a while now, so I decided to share.
This is a promo picture for "In Plain Sight", and please, somebody tell me:
What is wrong with this picture?
OH HAI. Mary's missing a LEG.
That is one bad Photoshop job. Seriously, they took out her leg so she'd look THINNER? She looks WEIRD. Instead of the normal hot-ass Mary, we get a one-legged teetering person. Surrounded by grass that's shaped like a woman's leg. (And Marshal Marshall Mann.)
*facepalm*
Seriously, I hate that it's been standard practice to Photoshop the reality out of women for years now, but it's getting ridiculous. No wonder so many women think they'll never look good - they have this to compete with.
I mean, seriously. Check this out. It is creeping me right the fuck out.
None of this, of course, is new or ground-breaking territory in terms of, you know, ranting, but it gets me seriously pissed off, and so I had to share.
In conclusion: I would like my women to be recognizable as women, regular arms and all. And, you know, possessing both their legs. If at all possible, of course.

And God, she really doesn't need to look thinner.... besides, curves are hot!
*hugs you*

She is SO incredibly hot, and if anything, it makes her look BIGGER, because it takes away the balance of, you know - having both legs. It's just ridiculous.
*hugs you back!*
