When Re-Touchers Get a Little Magic Wand Happy We All Suffer, Especially Scanner Emily

Posted by Emily Farris

I swore I wasn't going to bring this up, but after stumbling upon Photoshop Disasters today, I, Scanner Emily, actually have my own little bone to pick with the photo re-touchers at Time Out New York magazine. I, somewhat embarrassingly, was talked into appearing in the magazine's "Date Our Friends" feature a few weeks back and they photoshopped out one of my nostrils. I got over it, proved to the world I did, in fact, have both of my nostrils and moved on. But in this week's follow-up piece, they photoshopped out something much, much more important...

...one of my boobs! And we all know I already feel inadequate in that department. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the article isn't available online yet, so unless you, like us, have about seventeen free gift subscriptions to Time Out, you won't get to see Scanner Emily in all her Cyclops boob glory. But here's the nostril shot. You'd think they could have Photoshopped out my back fat and left my nostril where it belonged!

That doesn't look like you either!

Folks, the only real Emily Farris is the one on the sidebar, to your right and up.

That doesn't mean the ridiculous shot of Brian Fairbanks looks a damn thing like him, though...
