On the Angelica Panganiban Photoshopped Calendar Pics
By now, you should have seen the Angelica Panganiban GSM calendar pics. If you haven’t here they are:
Hot yeah? But have you seen this?
Yeah, not that appealing now is it? I’ve seen people react with shock, surprise, and even disgust. I myself have expressed my disgust after seeing the second set of pics, but probably not for the same reasons.
I personally am more appalled at how different the two sets of pictures were than I am at knowing the truth.
Don’t get me wrong, we are in no way against the objectification of women. In fact, objectifying women is our second favorite pastime next to masturbating. However, after some consideration, I realized that what’s more disturbing in this scenario is the lengths they had to go through to hide the Angelica’s true form.
In fact, a certain number of us who’ve seen the two sets of pictures don’t really mind. I mean seriously. It’s a girl. In a bikini. With a nice face. And great tits. The fact that she’s got a belly doesn’t diminish the fact that she can still introduce some wood into our lives. To further illustrate my point, who among you will actively not sleep with Angelica given the chance? I thought so. I believe it was Steel who put it most eloquently by saying “Still, I’d hit that three times!”
Yeah, there are still the squeamish majority who claim to have lost their lunches after seeing the second set of pictures, but fuck them. We really don’t take people like them too seriously. Why? Because they don’t know what real women look like and probably hadn’t had enough experience on the subject to know what they want.
Now back to my point, it is my belief that had they opted not to Photoshop the pictures, and simply focused on capturing her best features, we would have still gone apeshit over the pictures. And the best thing with that is, there wouldn’t have been all this brouhaha over what’s real and what’s Photoshopped.
There’s a whole debate about campaigning for real beauty and lacquered beauty, but this is not the place to get into that.
And if you think we’re just blowing smoke up your asses in the hopes of appearing all sensitive, or politically correct, or gay, I present to you this thread where we externalize our admiration (read: “get boners from”) for “less than perfect” women such as Lucy Davis, Megan Mullaly, and Sara Rue.

i guess its all about what sells.we all know angelica is pretty but with a bdoy like that shes not exactly who people would want to see in their calendars.

Yeah, I think that goes without saying. But my point is, and I’m saying it again, is that they could have made her look sexy without all the photoshop bullshit. They can wonders with lighting and shadows, etc., and it would still have done the trick without the “cheat” factor which is what’s leaving the bad taste in the mouth.

Well dem FHM people just love using their Photoshop! I mean, just think of all the areolas they’ve airbrushed away…

That pudge is nothing 500 crunches wouldn’t fix, and filipino men need to stop obsessing over the mythical 36-24-36 figure. There are more body types to love.

Roanne, you do realize that 500 crunches in English translates to “Impossible” right?

Why not? One can begin by doing 50-100 then gradually working up to 500. Da ba? :)

Well the problem is most of us can’t count past number 7. This is why we don’t like exercising.

like you said… i’d still sleep with her given the chance… anywho, like racquel says, it sells. Who’d buy GSM if the model’s belly looked like she’d had enough to drink?
