Reading a piece on MSN.com today about how some magazine are retouching the pictures of models. Not that this is news in and of itself, as there has been plenty written about how models are airbrushed and (controversially) made to look thinner.
But this piece, which is actually from Blisstree.com, is about the more sinister trend of taking thin models, and making them look, well, fuller.
It's called "reverse retouching" where a skinny model has weight added to the thighs, midsection and arms.
Which begs this question, as far as I am concerned: Why not used models that are fuller in the first place?
Don't tell me that there is a lack of beautiful women that are not size 00. They exist; I see them every day out here where I live in the Las Vegas area. There are beautiful women of all shapes and sizes.
I don't see the need to expend the extra effort to now perpetuate a myth at all.
If you want a thin model, use a thin model. Don't take someone and make them skinny.
If you want a fuller model, then for goodness sake, go out and find them.
The artificiality of these major fashion magazine and ads makes me want to vomit.

The Lust List, Summer 2012: A biennial review
So apparently, every two years, I get around to tackling the blog again and decide that I should probably update the lust list. After all, there are some people that didn't get on it last time that I would like to highlight, and of course there is newer talent as well.
Of course, this list is in no way, shape or form comprehensive, as I only chose nine lovely women for this entry. I am always on the lookout for others, and hopefully I can get it together enough to do more entries (making it biannual instead of biennial. We will see.)
Again, to reiterate, the main rule of the lust list is that it is attractive women that, in an ideal world I would have a chance to have sex with. That ideal world features me being in a helluva lot better shape than I am in and being involved in the adult industry. So, yes, it is pretty damn far from reality.
The only caveat at this point is that I try not to list women I've already listed.
Without further ado (and this time, with links to their Twitter handles, so follow them, damnit!):
