Even Lady Gaga isn’t thin enough

Lady Gaga was recently on the cover of Vogue, with the crazy hair and a weird dress we have come to expect and adore. The trouble is that the photoshopoholics at Vogue lost control of their faculties and slimmed her waist down to the size of her head and her knees down to the size of her neck.

Vogue's Cover Photoshoppers Shrank Lady Gaga's Waist

This seems a bit much, no? Seriously, it looks like she only has one leg, that’s how much they have reduced her knee area. Also, where in the hell is she going to put her internal organs?

I, along with millions of my fellow humans, have seen Gaga twisting the night away in her video for “Bad Romance”. You could count all her ribs and vertebra. This is not a woman safely described as  “plump”. This is a woman better described as “tiny white gazelle”. But even she, with her thighs the size of twizzlers and concave tummy, was not thin enough for Vogue. Nope. She looked too human for that glam mag, by gum.

Not to mention changing the color of the dress to a plum and lightening her already pale skin to that lovely shade of 3-day-old-corpse. Because who doesn’t want to look as gorgeous as a cadaver in their plum dress and one leg?

    Unholy WTF? So very, very wrong…

  2. You know, this makes me wonder… Why? Why, why, why?

    I feel like I’m living in an alternate realilty.

  3. The photoshopped Gaga looks to me like a plum-coloured version of Panacea (from Asterix).

  4. She looks like a cartoon… You know, if the celebrities who get photoshopped like this would SCREAM at the magazines who do this too them, and shame the editors, MAYBE we’d see this stop.

    Come on, Gaga, show ‘em you’re a REAL woman and rip ‘em a new one for bastardizing you like this!!!!!! Don’t wear steak the next time, wear an editor!!!

  5. personally i thought it was a drawing when i saw it like those exaggerated fashion sketches where the proportions are all off. not attractive for real life. i like gaga. wish they wouldn’t make her look even more troublingly skinny than she is.

    They’ve erased so much of her waist and hips that it actually makes her hips look big. Like the dress is built to be poofy in that area, with another poof from the knees to the floor. If I were the designer, I’d be pretty pissed, too. Because a cover like that is a pretty big deal for them, and Vogue has taken the designer’s dress and completely changed the silhouette with photo shop.

    Iiiiiiiiii don’t know…this hyper-exaggerated silhouette doesn’t seem like such an affront to me. I mean, it isn’t like Gaga is a “natural” looking’ kinda lady, she uses her form (and her image) as her canvas for artistic expression. This is so obviously cartoonish, it just seems like a statement (perhaps – “look how ridiculously cartoonish you look when you try to overemphasize feminine features”). Photoshopping all the models in Seventeen = disgusting. This? This is just weird.

  8. She could have her internal organs under that skirt by her feet. She can’t possibly walk in any case.
