Kelly Clarkson Gets Photoshopped
Just last week we saw Kelly Clarkson gracing the cover of the September issue of SELF Magazine. Inside she said she was happy with her weight and thought that it’s other people who have issues about her weight. However, that’s all good and fine until readers of the magazine start complaining because Clarkson’s image was considerably digitally slimmed-down.
In defense of the magazine the editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger said the photo was retouched in order for Clarkson to ‘look her personal best.’ She went on to say,
“I think this photo is the truest we have ever put out there on the newsstand.”
But readers see it differently. Considering Clarkson is a role model for so many girls and also boasts such a healthy body image the readers were essentially outraged. One reader wrote at the jezebel.com website,
“Hey, hi, Self ladies: None this changes or explains the fact that YOU ALTERED THE BONE STRUCTURE OF HER FACE.”
Another reader made a clever remark asking why even have Clarkson pose if her body is not the one that SELF wants on their magazine.
Something that is not mentioned is that most magazines allow their celebs to give final approval of images. So maybe instead of criticizing the magazines we need to confront the celebs on the degree to which they pretty up their photos.
