I remember Beyoncé saying in some interview that when she performs she wears something like 4 pairs of nylons to keep everything looking nice and tight, so I don't think this is new for her.

What if y'all give retouching like a three month break here on Jezebel? Maybe?
If I hear the word "retouching" one more time over the course of the next 48 hours... I swear to god...
REALLY?
Heh. I'm in your mind. STEALING YOUR THOUGHTS.
He's in a rut. The man is still getting paid and he has sex with JLaw on the reg. I would kill to have to be in this man's rut.
Also, this:
He's happening, alright. He's happening...
WAIT. Does that mean that the Lena Dunham debacle is a post-modern ironic reinforcement of this article? Acting like mean girls just to undercut the mean girl dynamic? Ingenious.
Respectfully, if you guys have something specifically against Vogue then it would be great if you would just write up a big retrospective piece. The more you make this about Lena Dunham and effectively force her to respond to this—which no matter how you slice it is a direct discussion about her body that invites a…

Jezebel has gotten mean and petty lately, and so have a lot of Jezebel commenters who fancy themselves above the the fray. The thread on how much better some commenters' writing is than the writer's of Jez, was just so...misguided and petty.
I bet you guys were hoping for something much more dramatic.
The $10,000 reward suggests they thought the images would be shockingly, outrageously edited, and worth an ~expose~ about how women like Lena aren't allowed to appear in their natural glory. The actual minor retouches, and grasping at "but this is still a lesson, kids!" are kinda womp-womp.
I was most curious to see the bed picture, which seemed to be the most altered.
Honestly all I see here is how bad a photographer is and how much work was left to the editor. I know Annie is regarded as a great photographer (and I love a huge amount of her work) there are still ways to photograph and light someone that don't require so much editing.
I mean, don't get me wrong, that show is fucking great and so much fun to watch, but it just gets more and more ridiculous with every episode.
