A friend informed me of an old copy of FHM Magazine, where there was a letter writer complaining about the photos used in the magazine. The letter writer did not like FHM and some other magazines’ practice of “cleaning” the photos before printing them on their pages. By cleaning, it means making the model flawless by removing the eyebags or eye circles, reducing the hips and tummies, removing the flabs in the arms and the legs, removing scratch marks, varicose veins and “peklats”. What irked the letter writer more are the “too-white-to-be-true” armpits of the models. Now, I don’t have a problem with fixing the model’s face for the magazine because she really has to look good in the pics. Fixing some parts of the body is also okay to me. But I hope FHM, Cosmopolitan, UNO and other magazines which features female models will lessen the use of the Adobe Photoshop for the armpits. If there were traces of hair stubbles, sure you can take them out. If you think it will look too dark in the mag, lighten it up a little. But only a little. As much as possible, we armpit lovers want to see them in their real color and state. But don’t erase the lines, the excess skin, the excess fat. Armpit fans should try buying magazines like Star Studio, Teenstars, Yes, S and Inside Showbiz because they seldom, or never, alter the pictures there.
