Airbrushed BABY Pics?!?!?

Talk about sending out the wrong message!  A magazine editor admits in The Sunday Telegraph to airbrushing baby pictures!!!

                         

That cute little boy is named Hadley.  When he was five months old, he was featured on the cover of Parenting and Pregnancy, a small circulation mag out of the UK.  Editors now admit to lightening his eyes and skin tone (okay, fine)... and smoothing out the creases on his arms!  You kidding me?!?

I'm used to seeing supermodels and celebrities airbrushed to (sometimes scary) perfection on newstands.  But kids?  C'mon!  I understand erasing runny noses, or photoshopping out that dabble of drool.  But babies have fat rolls.   Babies are roly-poly.  Babies resemble mini Buddhas.  As long as your pediatrician says your kid's in the normal range of weight, you shouldn't worry.  I just think it sends a bad message in this already weight-obsessed society to make our youngest models try to look flawless.

I can't imagine a few of my own favorite pics photoshopped to get rid of "imperfections".

 Whatever.  I love the fat rolls, and when my son's disappeared, I actually missed them!  Quadruple ugh's and a big thumbs down to that media trend.

Okay, rant over.

That is not okay. If they are so obsessed with perfection, why don't they just start using porcelain dolls on their cover instead of real babies?
Btw, your babies are beautiful fat toes and all!
