Debenhams bans airbrushing !!!

I expect some of you have already seen this. Will you be more inclined to shop there? Won't be able to get to Debenhams til my visit in September - can't wait!!!

That is great - I like to see real people and the real fit - not some airbrushed fantasy body from lala land.....
How gross is air brushing and that example slicing bits of a girl who already have a fantastic bod. I must be living under a rock I just took the words as pretty as they sound, remove a few blemishes. I see some people look fake but when you see that example it is so sinister really.

What chance do we have with that degree of abnormal reconfiguration on someone who already looks great.

Oh I could have a bigger rant but suffice it to say no wonder with pressure such as that people have eating disorders or are dissatisfied with a normal body shape. :reallypissed: :shutmouth:
I work in advertising so I know first hand what's going on. Photoshop does more work than the photographers!
That's why I never base my shopping choices on advertisement. 90% of them are all lies, whether it's a skinny model or a cleaner or a diet product and so on and on and on...

Good for them, as long as they actually do it! Because in my book, this can easily be another advertising trick.

Personally, I always shopped from Debenhams and will do again, when I find myself in Britain.
About time they just used 'real' photographs, there are plenty of attractive women about that don't need computers to make them look any better :cool:

Any road, they'd need more than an airbrush to get me into an advertising campaign, 6 inch whitewash brush and a catering pack of paint :bugeyes:

I tell you what. Let's order catering and a six pack each and watch the others have their photos taken, airbrush or not.
