    This?

    Yeah, I prefer my legs to have muscles, too.

    I can't remember the last time I've looked at a fashion magazine, but stuff like that sure makes me glad I don't pick them up.

    Ridiculous and insulting.

    It's no wonder we have body image issues! Doesn't help that the "fashion shows" are on anorexic scarecrows of models - with all due appologies to naturally thin women, but those runway models need to sit down to a nice pasta dinner followed by a big bowl of Ben & Jerry's . Nightly. Of course this is to fuel a nice 20 mile bike ride.

    Let me just point out that while there certainly is some Photoshop touching up in the second photo (yes it certainly looks like they skimmed a bit off the belt area...)- its actually an entirely different shot with entirely different lighting.... the first one looks like a test shot - the lighting is much more soft, her legs and head in are slightly different positions and she hasn't even been styled (her shorts are all rucked up, hair isn't wet or blowing in the breeze) Some of what you are seeing was done with safety pins and strobe lights...
