Even Faith Hill isn't "perfect" enough for a magazine cover

I think Faith Hill is one of the most beautiful, talented, and classy celebrities out there, and even with all her wonderfullness, Redbook magazine had her cover shot photo retouched to the nines. This picture is the Redbook cover that hit the stands.

Now, over at Jezebel, they have the original Redbook cover shot of Faith Hill before all the digital manipulation. In this additional post, Jezebel points out at least 11 areas where Redbook photo retouched Ms. Faith Hill. They basically made Faith skinnier, and less wrinkled. A Jezebel reader re-created the Faith Redbook cover with the original shot, and personally, I think it's a much better cover than the one Redbook photochopped. It's real!

For crying out loud! If someone like Faith Hill is not good enough as is to be on the cover of a woman's magazine, than doesn't it make you question why some of us are killing ourselves trying to look celebrities who don't even look like themselves. It also sends the message that no matter how beautiful you are, you're still not perfect enough. Hmmmm?

Faith Hill is beautiful even without the photoshop. It's crazy how you can totally tell what's been photoshopped on magazines these days. It's impossible to have perfect looking skin!

This is depressing.
