If you all are so certain that she is photoshopped, how about linking us to a picture of her that's not photoshopped, to prove it?

I really don't want to spend the time looking for the appropriate links.

But virtually all the media that you see online and on TV is photoshopped and manipulated.

Now for this woman, I took a look at the picture Xander posted.  It is definitely photoshopped, the blurred edges by the waist are evidence of that.  If I had the time I would take the picture and highlight the photoshopped parts, but I don't.  So unfortunately, I do believe this lady might have some exaggerated proportions.

Here are 4 pictures that show her in contest shape.  There is at a minimum no way she hasn't gotten implants.  I see the evidence of photoshopping in the earlier pictures in this thread.  It's better than I could do, but that doesn't mean it's not there.  OK, maybe some of it can be put down to surgery, diet, and genes, even divine intervention, but I see some digital help too.  I don't care, since one form of manipulation isn't really better than another. One's just more permanent. She looks amazing, especially taking her age into account.  Would I recognize her on the street? Probably not.  And that is only partly because I'm fairly oblivious. 😉

You can also see in those contest photos that she has lost a LOT of weight from the modeling photos. Its like a lot FBBs, off season, they look huge compared to contest weight.

The best example of that was Theresa O'Brien, in her contest shape she looked like she was half her off season size.

I'm not going to get involved with the main debate.  I just wanted to comment on the linked Dove advert – I've watched it before, but seeing it again reminded me that I think the woman in it is cuter as she is.  To me, the modified version is too "perfect" in some sense.  I suppose I'm wierd, but I prefer characterful beauty to that perfect, airbrushed, girl-group look.  She looks more real somehow before the modifications.

I just showed you where to look at in the picture…If that isn't proof enough, then think for yourself: "how much do I use photoshop?" and "how many times have I edited pictures"?…

The answer for you is probably that you never used it…Or you would have not needed any more evidence…

And I can tell you: I use photoshop a lot…And I mean a lot!…And if you want I can do the exact same stuff to pics of other FBBs to show you how it works…Takes me 2 minutes to do edits like this…Ah well, let me just do one here then…I'll first send an edited picture…The amazing Ruthie Lucchesi…

Look in the background what goes on there…I made sure that the signs of editing are very clear in the background and the blurry stuff of her waist, etc…Now look for similar stuff again on the Nena Cortes pic…

See it?…As soon as you have watched it, i'll post Ruthie's original to show how extreme the edit was that I did on her…
