Yes, the PS work is ridiculous as is the judgement of whoever approved that ad...HOWEVER, the actual subject of the ad (the clothes) are even MORE ridiculous!

I don't get this - I looked for a punch line somewhere, because I thought it had to be a joke or something. How does this make men or women want to buy the product?

Whatever sells I guess.

Personally I find her body repulsive.

In reality she was fired by RL for being too fat! The photo was PSed.

If you ask me (which nobody did), I think its a manifestation of certain professional subcultures following their own trends until they are out of touch with their market. I could name a few examples in the Holllywood area also.

Sad but true I thought she handled it well - she didn't go public about being fired until this psed pic came out. I understand she is suing RL for damaging her image - I hope she cleans him out!!!
