Kelly Osbourne and the Chris Moyles team all have their photos dramatically airbrushed to show how far images used in the media can be manipulated.

The photo shoot followed on from a body image special on The Sunday Surgery. The gallery can be viewed here

Wednesday Addams?

[TIAL]

Hate to say it, but they all look great!

(apart from Kelly obviously but I think she was the only one doing it for the right reasons!)

[Weebl and Bob]

Kelly looks the worst, dosent look even human

[Yudster]

I think the point of the feature/campaign has been lost. Surely it was about how you shouldn't look at images in the media and apply them to reality - ie yourself - because they aren't actually real. But the only reaction to the pictures is "wow, don't they all look great", which they do, which is surely just going to make people even more conscious of their bodies and reinforce the idea that we want to look like that?

[MK Chris]

Isn't one of the points to highlight the fact that when you look at photos of people in magazines and think they look great, they aren't necessarily real and that most of the time they have some sort of alteration done?

[Yudster]

Yes, thats what I said -

Surely it was about how you shouldn't look at images in the media and apply them to reality - ie yourself - because they aren't actually real.

But thats not been the response to the pictures at all, I think they are actually reinforcing the "ideal" that Kelly and The Surgery are trying to debunk. It's no-one's fault, it's just the way people are reacting to those images. Even though we know they aren't real, we are still thinking that they are somehow attainable - or at least aspirational.

[MK Chris]

Sorry. I seem to be taking longer than normal to wake up this morning.

[Yudster]

Maybe your brain is feeling the cold. Perhaps a woolly hat to compensate for the loss of hair?

[MK Chris]

I could have a Badly Drawn Boy style tea cosy like the Foot-loose.

Speak to Ezza - She seems to have a thing for tea cosy hats!

I do it for style. You do it cause yer a baldy basta.

[MK Chris]

I haven't done it at all yet.

I would, however, like to enquire as to which particular style you're aiming for (and missing by the width of a barn.)

Unless you're going for the below style? In which case, spot on my friend!

[foot-loose]

That dress looks like your wallpaper.

[MK Chris]

It's not, it's the curtains. Remember, I sent you the left over material to make the dress out of.

[foot-loose]

You are happy telling everyone that you make curtains? You told me to keep that quiet.

[MK Chris]

For the purposes of revealing the other part, it was worth it.

I have one! Thats it. Well one tea cosy hat anyway. Many others though.
