Ralph Lauren ad, 2009.

they photoshop your pelvis to be smaller than your head

AND

they fire you for being “too fat”.

The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates. ~ Dave Barry

    that model just looks freakish! but she makes me feel much better about my hips being a thousand times bigger than my head.

  10. Scary, the first ad you posted.

  11. Lakshmi says:

    What an awkward shot and screw-up..the first one!

    Happy new year to you guys…

  12. Arfi says:

    gee, that was just horrible look, the photo no.1
    happy new year!

  13. Mamatha says:

    I find the first picture disturbing. It’s ads like these that send the wrong message to teenage girls.

  14. Miri says:

    The first photo is plain appalling - and in no way attractive! How lame of RL to issue a statement that the photo was “mistakenly issued only in Japan by a department store” - yeah right!

  15. Susan says:

    She’s going to have a really hard time in childbirth. Freaky Photoshopping.

  16. Margie says:

    I think you forgot to mention that she is also ten feet tall! ;)

  17. Srivalli says:

    The first one is appalling….my daughter says she doesn’t want to eat more than one serving..cos she will get fat!!..:(

HAVE YOUR SAY.
