 I have explained it to 100's of clients, but until they see a picture like this, it just doesn't really sink in.
Images in magazines are re-touched, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. If you haven't noticed it yet, let me point out that this woman has no umbilicus (belly button). Since that is impossible, we have to assume it was an error by a retoucher using the clone tool in photoshop

If you are thinking why you should care, it is because "...50% of American women are currently dieting. Some researchers suggest depicting thin models may lead girls into unhealthy weight-control habits, because the ideal they seek to emulate is unattainable..."
