i just thought this needed to be pointed out to the tumblr community.

these are all photoshopped by enrico francis

it needs to stop.

Dear Enrico Francis Photoshop extrordinare,

STOP FUCKIN PHOTOSHOPPING BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND MANIPULATING THEIR BODIES AND FACES INTO UNNATURAL BARBIE LOOK-A-LIKES.

1. youre not very good at it. the manipulations you make are so fucking freakish that all i have to do is glance at your photos and know that its not real.

2. the natural beauty of these women is so profound that the fact that you feel the need to photoshop them is fucking INSANE. 

3. we do not need another fucking shit putting these unrealistic expectations of women (and men, cause you shop them too) into the world. its not right. you know its not, i know its not and tumblr knows. 

So Enrico, I beg you please give it a rest. be a good fucking human being and stop. learn to be a true artist and enhance the beauty youre working with as opposed to completely warping it.

and if you dont i will continue to publish your shitty photoshop all over this fucking website.

This is disgusting.

rihanna’s face looks so much better before she was edited what the fuck

gods they even took away the strap on her dress

Notice how they change the nose of every dark skinned woman.

Dove subversive photoshop ‘app’

Four for you Dove. You go Dove. 

BEST. AD. EVER.

ok i’ll probably- take this off later as i do with a lot of personal posts i just type out in the moment but i just gotta’ say, while i appreciate the sentiment and agree that the portrayal of ‘beauty’ in the media is definitely waaay obscured (who wouldn’t?) dove realizes art directors and graphic designers rarely make the decision when it comes to what photos are going to be retouched? sure, they could simply reject the job; it’s certainly something i’d never want to do but as someone hoping to get into the industry i realize it’s a tough market and you gotta’ get bread on the table. promoting a healthier image is great, it’s wonderful, but don’t make graphic designers the villains. talk about their bosses, the companies; don’t go we’re calling you out for something you had no decision in!! enjoy having to redo this entire thing in order to pay for your cost of living, shame on u.

on the other hand what they’re trying to promote is most definitely a good thing so i’m not in defense of photo retouching for ads at all, but— it’s like? let me explain 2 u a thing dove

sorry to those who disagree too because i can totally see this argument both ways i just??? maybe if you’re making a living off of retouching only, but that’s rarely the case?

???

yeah dove is bein kind of a jerk here

If Dove wants to “speak directly to those responsible for for manipulating our perceptions” maybe they should talk to their brother company, who made this ad…and many that are far worse.

someone asked that I reblog this, but my feelings are basically the same as above, and the same feelings I had for the older dove ad with the little girl seeing stuff. well, that one I liked better.

Basically, while the message is seemingly positive, the only reason it exists is basically to sell you more stuff.  This same company is NOT discontinuing this type of merchandising- they just relegate it to its branches that deal with marketing to men.   That all of us will see on tv anyway.   So it strikes me as a pretty disingenuous marketing campaign.  Not only do they make money from our insecurities, but they make money by then informing us of how these insecurities are manufactured.  What part of this contributes to the greater good?

And I’m sure the point of this ad is more to bring awareness than to actually showcase some sort of sting operation, but it also appeals to me less than the little girl’s eyes commercial because, as pointed out, it has no real goal.  I’m sure the photo editors are aware of the issues with editing that way, they’re not going to submit it like that, and to be honest I really doubt experienced editors would often be googling “100 free photoshop actions” and happen to find the exact link they planeted when there are like 4000 websites for that ish.   It honestly almost rubs me the wrong way that it’s an incredibly long winded way of saying “Hey this is wrong.”  

If I sound a little cynical I think this ad just really pushed the wrong buttons for me.  Like I’m tired of this two-faced business.  I appreciated the innovation for the first ad or two but now it’s really completely a gimmick to sell people and improve your PR.

For something else to look into, Greenpeace also released a critique video of the Dove Evolution ad (the one that shows the model being retouched), which “denounces the responsibility of the cosmetics brand Dove in contributing to the destruction of the Indonesian rainforest. By replacing the forest with palm oil plantation, they are also causing species extinction and climate change.”

Hey friends! Know how I won’t shut up about comics and how awesome they are? WELL, for the next 48ish hours, over 700 #1 issues from Marvel Comics are free on Comixology. What is Comixology? It’s like iTunes for comics. If you have an iPad, or an iPhone, or a laptop, it’s a great way to read comics. Get the app in iTunes! If finding and going to a comic store, which can be quite intimidating, has kept you from checking out comics, then this app is essential.
But 700 #1 issues?! That’s a lot! What’s good? What if you have only seen the latest Marvel films? What should you buy? I, of course, have opinions on this!
Here are some #1 issues that you can try without knowing anything about comics outside of what you’ve absorbed through pop culture and/or the movies. I would include hyperlinks but Comixology is understandably crash-y right now. Instead, I will provide the accurate titles that you can search for.
Thor: God of Thunder #1 - Great Thor epic that is kind of trippy, starring three Thors from different time periods, but it draws on new characters and new concepts, meaning you just need to know that Thor is a Norse god who hangs out on Earth with mortals.
Young Avengers Vol. 2 #1 - It says Vol. 2, but this is a fresh start. 18 year old heroes in one of the most fun and modern stories of today.
Avengers Academy #1 - Like stories about kids in fantastical school settings? Check this out! A totally new crop of super-teens enroll to be the next Avengers…but of course there’s a twist.
New Avengers #1 - A bit of a deeper cut, but this is the jumping on point for about 5+ years worth of Avengers stories. It was Marvel’s attempts to put all of their A-Listers on one team, so if you wanna see Spider-Man and Wolverine pal around with Iron Man and Captain America, this is your book.
Captain America #1 - The start of the best Cap story ever, in my opinion. If you saw the Cap film, then read this (it’s also the basis for the sequel, probably). Way more political thriller than superhero comic, with emotionally wrenching drama.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 - Another deep cut, but if you like being thrown in the deep end, Star Wars-style, and wanna know what the upcoming film holds, read this. It’s got characters that are infinitely enjoyable and a sense of humor unlike any other comic.
Silver Surfer: Parable #1 - A two part story by Stan Lee with French legend Moebius on art. It isn’t really in Marvel continuity, and is a great stand alone tale. Incredibly essential, and a testament to Stan Lee’s talent, and a great introduction to Moebius’ influential art.
Deadpool Vol. 2 #1 - If you have even a passing knowledge of Deadpool and/or don’t appreciate him, give this a shot. It’s his first ongoing, it’s the first time a writer tried to make the character work, and it’s just hilarious and so much fun. And it has a great pay-off, sticks the landing, 25 issues in.
Fantastic Four #1 - It’s the first modern Marvel Comic ever, so, if you REALLY wanna get in on the ground floor AND find out what 1960s comics were like, there’s no better place to start than where it all started.
Iron Man #1 - A modern classic Iron Man story and the basis of Iron Man 3 (sorta). This is the story that made Iron Man a viable Marvel character again, and holds up on its own.
Civil War #1 - This was the biggest Marvel event of the past 10 years, and one of the very few that people regard as great. Amazing art, big battles, not the best comic story ever, but a nice buffet sampling of a lot of different heroes. Also, Bush-era political overtones!
Black Widow #1 - There’s also a Black Widow Vol. 1 #1, which is also good, but I’m talking about Black Widow #1 (I have no idea why all of this is so confusing). But this is a great story about Black Widow with great art. Want more of her? Do this.
Captain Marvel #1 - Carol Danvers has become something of a Tumblr icon, and this series is why. Please check it out, and since the art has proven divisive, if you aren’t a fan of it, please go to issue #9 and see if that’s more your fancy. Great series that’s only getting greater.
Daredevil Vol. 3 #1 - Fun, humorous, good time Daredevil (way more complex and rewarding than the Ben Affleck movie) with gorgeous, innovative art. Do it.
Doctor Strange: The Oath #1 - Don’t know what this character’s deal is? I didn’t really either. Then I read this mini-series (only 5 issues!) and man, I love it. The best art, a great story by Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man). Essential.
Gravity #1 - One of the most delightful new characters to come out of comics, emphasis on “new” meaning you don’t have to know a ton of history.
Hawkeye #1 - THE BEST COMIC BOOK BEING MADE TODAY YOU WILL LOVE THIS IT IS FANTASTIC ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY 
Immortal Iron Fist #1 - SAME AS ABOVE EXCEPT REPLACE TODAY WITH 2008ISH. If you are reading and enjoying Hawkeye, THIS is where Fraction and Aja first made art.
Runaways #1 - The most original and accessible idea Marvel has had since the ’60s, with characters you will love with every part of your soul.
Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #1 - This mini-series is just ridiculous, high-concept, hilarious, stand-alone, epic genius/delightful nonsense. I love it.
Marvel Knights Spider-Man #1 - One of the cleanest and continuity clutter free #1s in the Spider-Man section of the sale. A solid Spidey story with lovely Terry Dodson art.
Spider-Man: Blue #1 - A gorgeously illustrated overview of Spider-Man’s heyday in a lovely miniseries.
Thor: The Mighty Avenger #1 - Want a great comic in the same vein as the delightful film? This is it, and maybe even more.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol. 2 #1 - Listen, the title is super confusing, I know, but this is the debut of a new kid as a new Spider-Man, and as he learns how to be Spider-Man, he becomes your favorite Spider-Man.
Wolverine Vol. 1 #1 - Maybe the definitive Wolverine story, as well as the basis of this summer’s film, this story is solid and also an early example of Frank Miller’s genius (pre “Sin City,” “Batman: Year One” and “The Dark Knight Returns”)
Astonishing X-Men #1 - JOSS WHEDON WRITING THE X-MEN AND IT IS AS GREAT AS THAT SOUNDS
Uncanny X-Force #1 - This is pretty continuity heavy, but I think the writing makes it accessible. I suggest it because the first 18 issues constitute one of the best long-form stories I’ve ever read in comics.
X-Men #1 - If you LOVED the ’90s cartoon and haven’t read this, just do it. Just read it. Just fall in love. It’s verbose, but the art is top notch, iconic stuff, and the characters are all of your faves.
