Photoshop monsters: Eddie Van Halen
Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style
OK, it's no secret that just about every celebrity mug that graces a magazine cover gets an extra layer of reconstructive surgery thanks to the miracle of Photoshop. Most of the time, the idea is to turn the subject into a hyper-flawless sex goddess, or erase some dude's ugly zit -- but every so often, designers go into a trance and can't stop until they've literally created an inhuman monster.
We could kinda understand why an art director might try to push the envelope to make pre-surgical Ashlee Simpson look skinnier, or airbrush out some cellulite off of Phoebe Price's thighs -- because sex sells. But why go through the trouble for Eddie Van Halen on the cover of Guitar World?
