Are women in Playboy and Maxim airbrushed?!
Question:
Are women in Playboy and Maxim airbrushed?
I know that magazines often, well, practically always airbrush, but I always thought differently about Playboy and Maxim. Do they airbrush? On the radio the other morning, a female DJ mentioned that her friend in college got picked for a college Playboy spread. She said her friend was very attractive but had cellulite and whatnot- that the makeup and airbrushing / photo adjustments made her look much sexier. Does anyone know for a fact if they airbrush?
Answers:
I can say for a fact that Maxim airbrushes (I think heavily). My cousin (who I will not name) is frequented in Maxim and FHM (most recently in the girls of the internet issue) and she is what I think was very much airbrushed, even for skin tone sometimes. I don't know about Playboy, but I assume they do as well, but I don't think as much.
