Jessica Alba Airbrushed - Because She's Not Hot Enough on Her Own

Email thisPosted Dec 9th 2008 at 12:03PM by Kyle Hepp

Celeb Photoshop Disasters

Jessica Alba's newly released calendar is hot, hot, hot! And so is she -- but apparently that's not good enough for the folks at Campari. Jessica is one of the sexiest women on the planet, yet pictures that came out this week show just how incredibly airbrushed the calendar really is.

Honestly, we like the before photos better. Why would you airbrush out a women's hips completely? Not only is that unnatural, but it also looks ridiculous! The airbrushed J.A. would be like Barbie -- unable to walk in real life.

Standards set by magazines and media have always been unattainable with their images of what they consider to be perfection. But attacking the super-gorgeous Miss Alba with the airbrush machine takes it to a new level.

Alien? Life-sized Barbie doll? Really, what was Vogue thinking with this cover? They left poor Gwyneth Paltrow practically unrecognizable.

Gwyneth Paltrow in W Magazine

Apparently the editors of W Magazine have it out for Gwynnie too. This time the Photoshop gods have left her looking a little *ahem, manly.

The thing is, Gwyneth is gorgeous in real life. With her long, perfect blond hair and a great toned body, why does it seem that editors always go overboard on the airbrushing with her?

Britney Spears in Blender

When Britney Spears popped up on the cover of Blender this past March, looking as sexy as ever, our collective eyebrows immediately rose.

You see, in March, 2008, Britney looked a little greasier, a little heavier, and just all around a lot more trainwreck-ier.

Jessica Simpson in Elle

Why is her hair so much bigger than the rest of her body? What happened to her hips? And where did her butt chin go? When it comes to this Jessica Simpson Elle cover we have so many questions!

Beyonce goes the Michael Jackson skin lightening route in this L'Oreal ad that makes her look rather Caucasian.

Yes, these pictures of Beyonce on the red carpet confirm that she is, in fact, a proud African-American woman.

Gisele strikes a pose for her man

You know, we never thought Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady would last this long. Especially, after that whole baby mama drama incident with Bridget Moynahan and Tom (ahem, Tom left her while she was pregnant for Gisele).

But the Brazilian supermodel and NFL superstar have weathered the storm, and to celebrate, Gisele is creating a super special calendar for her man's birthday on August 4th. Vogue UK reports, "She has got some racy lingerie shots, a birthday cake shot for August - and the expected picture of her in knee socks and his jersey!"

Eh, it's not really original. Considering, well, a sneak peak of the photos can probably be seen in last month's issue of GQ: disheveled hair. intense gazes, and lots of exposed tan skin. However, we imagine he'll flip over it. Just like every other blue-blooded man in America wishing they could switch places with him. If only for a day...

Gifts for the OCD: the Bubble Calendar

Email thisPosted Jul 28th 2008 at 1:46PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Haute Home

We just found out about this poster sized calendar, with a bubble to pop for every day. We are nearly speechless with desire and obviously we're not we're not alone because 2008 is completely sold out.

This is a serious sized calendar at 48"x18" and it comes in both landscape and horizontal orientations. The font is designer classic Helvetica Neue. US holidays are marked and weekends are set in bold to make it easy to see them.

You can order it printed on 100 lb glossy paper for $29.95 or get a limited edition printed on clear acetate for $49.95.

And did we mention you get to pop a bubble every single day? How have we lived this long without this?

Leave your Monk jokes in the comments. We don't care. We'll be popping virtual bubble wrap while we wait breathlessly for our our 2009 calendar to arrive.

Tim Gunn's secret passion

Email thisPosted Nov 5th 2006 at 11:08AM by Elise Carter

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

The ever-stylish and suave Tim Gunn, chairman of the fashion design department at Parsons the New School for Design and my favorite part of Bravo TV's Project Runway, reports that architectural design professionals "All hate fashion".

While this may seem unlikely, given that clothing and architectural design are similar in so many ways, Gunn insists that it is so. "I had a colleague tell me that fashion is the lowest form of culture," says Gunn, in an interview with the New York Times. Never one to be rattled by much, Gunn insists that he is not offended by the animosity. "They're [fashion and architecture] both an infrastructure on which to put a skin or surface," he explains, and goes on to tell the story of how he first fell in love with architecture.

The story centers around a calendar the 10-year old Gunn received from his grandmother at Christmas. Each month of the calendar featured a French chateau to cut out and assemble, and by New Year's Day, Gunn had finished the entire calendar. Gunn moved on to designing and assembling his sister's Barbie houses, and with those types of accomplishments under his belt, found his first adult job after art school designing models for an architecture firm.

With a distinguished career built upon fashion and clothing design rather than architecture, Gunn has turned his love for building model homes into a hobby. He collects pop-up books of buildings and carefully searches for furniture and cupboard pieces that emit the aura of the perfect architectural aesthetic.
