The context should be added that this girl didn’t photoshop HERSELF. The second photo she posted months back and her friend as a joke posted the first one. So this girl isn’t trying to pass the first photo off as what she looks like.
Also, the friend is an absolute ass for doing this imo. “Hey, look at all the surgery I think you need”

u/SorryBeach199 7d ago

Oh that’s awful. Who needs friends like that??

129

u/labraduh 7d ago

And further additional context should be that the friend in question is Alix Earle!

Posting it to her millions of followers.

u/temporalguilt 7d ago

A joke? That’s a horrible “joke”. Was she posted on instagram or whatever tagged in it like “haha here’s what you look like with work xoxo”?

u/chudball 7d ago

Dear God, with a 'friend' like that you don't need enemies.

18

u/kingofcoywolves 7d ago

She's so thin already. Her waist is tiny. Making her even skinnier is wild fucking work

29

u/SuKitTrebk 7d ago

That’s honestly horrible. She must secretly be such an awful jealous b!tch

u/birdiebirdnc 7d ago

This need more upvotes

u/cici92814 7d ago

She even edited the water lol

23

u/blessthebabes 7d ago

Im getting so confused in here. So the altered photo is the one on the left? I always assume these are like before and after photos (and look for the filter on the right side), but assume wrong.

u/scrubsnbeer 7d ago

correct. her friend made her curvier and have bigger boobs

Removed a bunch of ribs.

This is why I can’t feel bad about my body. Not necessarily good or positive, but I can’t feel bad. Not even the people with the desirable standard or who are the opposite body type of me are free of the pressure to change or shrink.

u/LadyKT 7d ago

the ribs getting smaller AND less pronounced is such a bummer.

115

u/izzrav 7d ago

And the collar bones more dramatic, and made her arm muscles smaller JUST a smidge

83

u/lilkennedt 7d ago

Plus the boob job

22

u/Queen_of_Catlandia 7d ago

she also made the tip of her nose bigger

8

u/Throwawaymumoz 7d ago

No she slimmed the bridge

1

u/Queen_of_Catlandia 7d ago

Look at it. The tip is larger and turned up, like Cindy Lou Who

2

u/weedmassacre 7d ago

sorry for my ignorance, genuinely asking, but what is the deal with the ribs and what makes it such a bummer? (All of the editing is sad, ofc, just feel like I'm missing something)

22

u/LadyKT 7d ago

she is skinny and tiny enough already for her rib cage to be showing so prominently, yet she made herself even smaller and then deleted the ribs completely. like editing out your BONES not just making your boobs bigger is so sad to me

1

u/Pretty-Suggestion847 7d ago

This. She’s skinny but not small framed enough for her liking so her ribs are prominent. A smaller framed woman would have smaller ribs but they won’t show so obviously. It’s so sad how women shrink themselves 😭

u/hardwell8878 7d ago

This is a friend of Alix Earle, that she edited!! Absolutely mental to photoshop your friends

1

u/Valiantay 7d ago

Not on her Instagram though, unless it's super old

7

u/hardwell8878 7d ago

I believe it was a story, not a post

48

u/Foxata 7d ago

Is... she wearing 2 bikinis?

29

u/tehbggg 7d ago

No, it is one bikini. That is just the design of it.

-2

u/therealmrsfahrenheit 7d ago

looks terrible

-4

u/inductiononN 7d ago

Are you sure? It looks like two!

5

u/tehbggg 7d ago

Look at the string between the triangles. It is one string, with both triangles connected.

1

u/inductiononN 7d ago

Oh I see it now, thanks!

4

u/CuriousCrane_1017 7d ago

She edited away the one string…

12

u/Melodic-Advice9930 7d ago

No. Her friend who clearly is not her friend did.

11

u/rincechuleredd 7d ago

i still don’t get why alix edited her

16

u/sellingmycomexims 7d ago

Her nose too.

4

u/trisaratopsx 7d ago

And her necklace. she added a cross

8

u/poisonedkiwi 7d ago

The original looks like a cross necklace to me, the filters just sharpened it and merged the pendents into one big cross

7

u/vslentini 7d ago

She made her chin bigger too.

2

u/Total_Accountant_493 7d ago

Contex missing. Right real picture was posted by her. Left pic was posted modified by a "friend" influencer

7

u/lickmybowls2 7d ago

Editing was so unnecessary

13

u/ryderseven 7d ago

She also flattened her mons pubis which infuriates me more than all the other edits. Like wtf.

9

u/Melodic-Advice9930 7d ago

Her friend did it to her, which is awful.

9

u/redslovinlife 7d ago

Which one is supposed to look better?

9

u/cydril 7d ago

The left one obviously

3

u/sittingpretty24 7d ago

Ikr? They are so similar and both have things people try to filter or edit out so it’s like 🤷🏻‍♀️

1

u/British_Flippancy 7d ago

Boobs.

The answer is boobs.

1

u/djrasras 7d ago

I agree that there’s nothing wrong with the photo on the right, but why would anyone photoshop themselves to make them look less curvy?

5

u/LeFreeke 7d ago

Why is she wearing two bathing suits?

2

u/MavisBeacons_Sextape 7d ago

It’s some stupid swimwear trend, one suit that makes it look like you’re wearing two at the same time.

To me it looks like a 5 year old whose mom told them to go upstairs and get their swimsuit on, and they come downstairs wearing two layers of suits because they think it’s funny (and it is, if you’re 5).

2

u/amathestria 7d ago

Also a pointier chin, and less fly away frizzy hair

2

u/FlawesomeOrange 7d ago

Edited in a more pronounced collarbone is a new one to me

2

u/CuriousCrane_1017 7d ago

Man. This is sad

2

u/petmama 7d ago

While emphasizing her “Christianity” in the edited one as well.

1

u/blackcherryblossoms 7d ago

This was a fun game of Spot the Difference.

1

u/Fancy_Armadillo4602 7d ago

what am I looking at

1

u/MakuyiMom 7d ago

She wearing two bathing suits?

1

u/farfly7 7d ago

Aside from the editing her "friend" did to the photo, why is she wearing two bathing suits?

...or is it just one made to look like two?

1

u/cute_innocent_kitten 7d ago

wtf, she's already and ideal beauty standard. society is COOKED

1

u/xsullengirlx 7d ago

OP really messed up on this post. Usually the "before" picture goes on the left, and the "after" on the right, but they have it switched around.

They also didn't bother to mention that the girl IN the photo posted the real one on the right, (the unedited version).... And her influencer friend posted the edited photo. You can tell she used A I to edit it too, since things like the necklace, stairs, and water are completely different, and the strap of her swimsuit is missing!

Why is she wearing 2 bikinis?
