Taking Mariah with Terry Richardson - before and after photoshop
The American online publication Jezebel continues its partisan struggle with glossy standards of beauty and photoshop abuse. Following Lena Dunham's photo shoot for Vogue, journalists managed to get Mariah Carey's source code for Wonderland magazine, made by Terry Richardson. In the series of hyphae, we are clearly shown where and how the retouchers corrected reality. The fact that photos of a 44-year-old singer are usually mercilessly photoshopped is probably not a secret.

There is also a justified item “to remove the hinges that went on the dress” - apparently, the shooting was fun.
