Someone Photoshopped Women In Masterpieces To Look Thinner
Have you ever looked at a classic work of art and thought to yourself, “I really like the Birth of Venus, but it looks like she’s still packing on that baby weight, if you know what I mean…” or perhaps even, “Odalisque? More like OdaBESE…”? If so, you are a gigantic asshole but kind of charming anyway? Because you’re so erudite? Anyway, madcap genius Anna Utopia Giordano decided to digitally slim and tone some of history’s most beautiful nude subjects. See the strange changes to Botticelli, Gentileschi and Bouguereau ahead.

5 Reasons You Should Care About The Model Alliance
The Model Alliance launched last night at New York’s Standard Hotel to an unsurprisingly model-studded crowd. TheGloss came along for a few reasons: 1) we are unapologetic modelizers and wanted to gawk at attendees like Crystal Renn, Victoria’s Secret Angel Doutzen Kroes and host Coco Rocha, 2) and we care very much about the Alliance’s mission, think they’re doing something important.

Meet Ioana Spangenberg, The Model With A Shocking 20-Inch Waist
We see photos of thin models digitally manipulated to look even thinner all the time, so we were pretty skeptical of The Sun’s claims about thirty-year-old Romanian model Ioana Spangenberg. More »
Here’s Gisele Consoling Tom Brady After His Super Bowl Defeat
Gisele Bundchen was the butt of a lot of jokes last night when quarterback husband Tom Brady and his team the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl. We guess that has something to do with the supermodel’s extremely earnest e-mail to friends and family last week in which she asked for prayer. Which apparently went unanswered. By God. More »
My Love/Hate Relationship With My Size 36D Boobs

Gallery: The Seven Kinds Of Self-Portraits Posted By Bloggers
Earlier today, Jennifer posted a gallery of your beautiful, cowardly faces, and I found it delightful. It was fun to see what some of our readers look like, and also to poke holes in the idea that going barefaced (something a lot of people do all the time, anyway) is enough to earn the stamp of “bravery.” But that’s not the only idea that deserves to have holes poked in it! There are many other disingenuous ways to post photos of oneself; here are seven of them. (Or rather, six plus one honest one.) And lest you accuse me of throwing stones from a glass house, I will admit to being guilty of most or all of them at some point in my life. After all, I’m using examples from my own collection.
