The Natalie in the photo looks 30 lbs lighter. Or is it just my imagination?
While I do think all the Dixie Chicks are quite cute, there is at least some air-brushing going on in the photo.
Well, the Dixie Chicks live near Austin, and (believe it or not) they’re real trivia buffs! I see them semi-regularly at a weekly trivia contest downtown (big disclaimer: I don’t know them, never attempt to talk to them, and am NOT trying to pass myself off as a close friend of theirs; truth to tell, I’m not even a big fan of their music). And I can tell you this: Natalie is NOT fat, no matter what impression you get on television, and no matter what jokes you hear on TV. And her bandmates are just flat-out SKINNY!
I can’t judge whether there was ANY airbrushing, but they’ve told the local Austin paper that, yes, they really WERE naked, and they didn’t just have their heads attached to some models’ bodies.
I’m about as far-right as any SDMB regular, and I wasn’t crazy about the WAY Natalie phrased her criticisms of the President… but my superficial impression of the Chicks is that they’re genuinely nice people. Natalie has apologized to the President- not for opposing the war, but for doing it in a crude manner- and that’s good enough for me. It’s probably good enough for most of their fans.
I’m so sure that you have a body that would make Adonis jealous.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Since Crafter_Man said nothing bad about her maybe being 30 pounds heavier, IMO your offense-meter is set pretty sensitive, Payton.
I found their skin color to be inhumanly even. No tan lines, no blotches, blemishes, birthmarks, all of them exactly the same hue. They did not look human. The photo was overprocessed.
I had no idea there was even a QUESTION as to if it was “doctored” or not.
Um, why are you attacking Crafter_Man?
I thought the same thing when I saw the picture.
Are any magazine photos unaltered?
Everything in these publications is Photoshopped. Everything. They don’t use airbrush anymore, it’s Photoshopped. (I used to work in a photo lab where they did use airbrush, which was already considered behind the times. And that was several years ago.)
And the Dixie Chicks picture looked quite Photoshopped.
