When the retouching guy shows up to work hungover (look at her waist area)

While that is probably the worst 19th century photoshop example I’ve seen to date, I’d like to thank retouch guy for providing such a good example to show that even though something’s a photograph doesn’t mean her waist was actually that size because even in the 1800s, people were editing their photos.

my brain always likes to see these ‘un-retouced’ so here’s a rough go at it. I just modified the parts I was sure were edited around her waist in the original, but they also often smoothed out people’s skin, softened jawlines etc. so 100% possible there’s additional editing. (it actually looked like there might be two rounds of waist editing but could just be the scan, so I stuck to the obvious portions)

reblogging again for the addition- thanks!

if parks and rec was still being made they’d do a bit where ron swanson has to wear a pronouns name tag and it’d just be “???/???” And it’d cut to a talking head of him going

“I’ve been a fool all this time. It’s bad enough the government knows my name, but now they want to know my gender? So I’m not letting them know my preferred pronouns. As far as I’m concerned, no one in this building should refer to me at all.”
