Talking of the '60s

So "Twiggy" is still going!

Somedays I swear I must havfe been asleep for the last 40 years.

But anyway, why all the fuss about airbrushing (or digital parallel) eh?

What does the punter expect from a0 advertising and b) more mature person for goodness sake?

More than 700 people complained about the "digitally re-touched" image in a website campaign set up by Jo Swinson, the Scottish Liberal Democrat MP.

I guess the point with this one was that the ad was for an eye-cream which supposedly fights the signs of aging, so using a computer to 'amend' the picture and thus potentially distort the benefits of using said product might be considered a bit cheeky.

Me in the 60's. All down hill from then.

The thing is, if I'm going to buy a Twiggy, I want her to look like the photo. All I can say is it's lucky that an MP has time to deal with massive issues like this.

Yep, presumably everything else in her constituency is all sorted, no waiting lists in A&E etc.

I doubt a male MP would have been quite so bothered.
