Kelly Clarkson Self Cover Photo Scandal
A bunch of people are getting their thongs in a bunch because Kelly Clarkson was airbrushed into oblivion on the cover of Self magazine. She is a curvy girl and that shiz considered gross by the standards of society (and by society I mean women shaped like anorexic hot dogs and men who are attracted by said anorexic hot dogs.) So those offended by the foolery of airbrushing wizards are bitching to the mag about the cover.
Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger confirmed that they do airbrushing on all celebs and brushed it off as common practice. Of course she only confirmed minor “post production adjustments” as apposed to this obvious complete body overhaul.
Here is where we get into an argument of portraying positive and realistic body images to girls. It’s war that will never be fully won. The British are even attempting to ban airbrushing to prevent cases like this. (Liberal democrats cited Twiggy and Jessica Alba recently as having been “heavily airbrushed” which I love me some Twiggy, but I am not surprised they called out Alba. I am sure it takes an entire team to overhaul her into a passable human. Fang hiding is an art.)
So, poor Kelly has become a scandal of her own. I say….What? There are no bare boobies in this. It’s like 6th grade news paper scandalous. Unless, Disney signs your paychecks and you are making sexy times with your camera in effort to seduce your closeted lovah….it’s not a photo scandal baby.
