Does this mean that a photographer may not lengthen a model's legs disproportionately versus her torso by using a slightly wide lens and shooting from the feet up?
Must the output of a flash unit be regulated so that it does not unduly wash out the age lines on an older person's face?
And shouldn't the French ban makeup and hair styling for models, because it may give them an unnatural look?
PS And let's make sure that models do not pose in any way that might alter how they should be perceived visually as regulated by a new French administrative body.
@BookishLookish: Not at all, my gorgeous BookishLookish, for I will defend your lovely, thrusting breasts until they pry my hiking stave from my cold, dead hands.
How many mistruths does this law intend to punish? Merely the unannounced alteration of a model's appearance via technology? How about the deception that buying the advertised product will resolve the black hole of our existential dilemma? Put that in Sartre's pipe and smoke it.
I'm not sure people understand. Every. Single. Print advertisement has had some digital retouching or other. The bother (and cost) of labeling every print ad will be prohibitive. Not to mention it will make literally every ad, regardless of content look like a cigarette advertisement.
I know, no one likes ads, we'd all be happy to see them vanish. But the fact is, ads pay for media you consume. No ads, no sponsors. No sponsors, no content.
LOL. I immediately love this magazine. "He looked elegant in his tuxedo and scintillated on the screen."Really? So he physically emitted sparks on the set? Would have loved to have been there to see that.
"He had a very full life and was able to reach the top of his profession at 35."
@Ken Green: Every single time you have sat with chums in a diner and heard any one of them chirp, "Head 'em up! Move 'em out!" you were unconsciously channeling the lesser known but greater younger brother of Ian. He is the unacknowledged zeitgeist of the twentieth century western aura. Do you think you would even know of a Clint Eastwood without his sage sagebrush Seneca?
Patricia Binns is my new favorite Hall of Fame fameball.
As evidence of her accomplished journalistic career, she scanned and posted online a letter received in 1997 from some intern in the office of Diana (the deceased princess), denying her an interview request and telling her very politely to bleep off.
Binns lovingly captioned the image, "Letter from Diana."
@snugbug: the "Press" part of the magazine's website is an "interview" with Ms. Binns and is COMPLETELY CLASSIC. recommended reading for all: [www.citylivingmagazine.ca]
from the jumbled recollections of her childhood bouncing around to various relatives, to her thoughts on supermodel "Janice Dickerson's" new book, to a detailed explanation of how she uses astrology, reiki and "energy" in her life and work, this is a million-word glimpse into a truly bizarre mind.
I have never heard of, or seen, this 'magazine', and I buy approx 8 magazines a month from various locations. I do like the publishers photo, very " Warhol Death Mask".
Haha. When you see anything this terrible, you immediately have to read the weakly-written accompanying article. And when you start reading, you always want to skip to the end, to the terrible mishmash of words desperately trying to find a conclusion (which, in my time writing articles, I have also been guilty of, so...).
And true enough, the end of the article brings some truly majestic turkeys:
"I do believe the piranhas consumed the body. What an unpleasant end."
"Eric Fleming had a lot of challenges to overcome to achieve the success he did accomplish." (oh, he achieved what he accomplished did he? that's great.)
"You wonder what Eric Fleming did in his life to deserve such a horrid demise." (oh yikes. wow)
And the utterly, utterly, laugh-out-loud, completely amazing:
"Fleming looked at the blackened sky and said to Menardos, "it’s now or never!" Those were Eric Fleming’s last words."

Anyway, I know "kisama" in Japanese, but what's "kimsama"? #ivankatrump

This is gulag-style bullshit. Bite me, France, between this and not allowing Muslim women to wear the veil at school, you are failing in this century.
