'I usually take at least 20lbs off models'

In an interview with XO Vain, an unnamed industry veteran said that he typically takes off '10, 20lbs, at least' when retouching models.'With women they always want too thin. They always want thinner waist, thinner legs,' he said.And these women are already skinny. Women that you would even think are kind of too thin and they still say, “Thin her thighs out a little bit.” And I’m thinking, What are they seeing?' he added.And the editors and creative directors he works with have asked him to do more than just tuck in tummies and slim hips.'I’ve had instructions like, “Remove this, it’s distracting.” It’s the woman’s collarbone, for God’s sake. Is she not supposed to have bones? So when it’s time to fight and say no, I’ll do it. I’m not going to damage my own reputation,' he said.In fact, he said he's even been asked to alter images of 'the most beautiful women on the planet' in the Victoria’s Secret catalogue.'You wouldn’t believe the stuff you have to fix on a regular basis. There are disgusting terms that retouchers have coined over the years--"vagina armpits" is one.'And while magazine covers have long shown younger-looking versions of their subjects, he says he spends more time removing pounds than wrinkles.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
