   Sadly, that is what people want to see. Let’s photoshop everyone and everything!

   what a hack job – makes her look bizarrely lopsided. Obviously her hips are naturally off-set to her right as her left leg is forward, but the edit makes her look as if she has an abnormal asymmetry.

   EDIT: After viewing Phizzy’s link below, I’ll retract some of my comment. While it does look bizarre, it does seem that natural physiognomy combines with that drape to make it seem like she’s missing a piece of her hip.

   No. There is no photoshopping of the thigh/hip in this photo. The thigh/hip area is natural. The "dimple" is a consequence of the pose.

   I found a photo of an old sculpture of a female model in the classic contrapposto pose. Although the model is much heavier, she has the dimple in her thigh/hip area. I went a step further and traced the model’s outline, much like bbonyx at BoingBoing did with the Demi photo. Then, I compared the two. See the results below:

   Very similar!

   If the model had been thinner, you’d even see a much closer match.

   I looked it up on W Korea..

   Just reading Phizzy above. Well, Phizzy, you should look up the original. Right now still here: http://www.style.co.kr/w/inmagazine/inmagazine_view.asp?menu_id=...

   Don’t know how long it will last, of course. Some lawyers should apologize. But lawyers very often don’t, do they?

   A mammoth amount of photoshop work was done on this shot, and the hip is just the most obvious error. Demi Moore is a midget. This cover makes her look quite lanky. Not only that, but it’s given her one arm much longer than the other, and she has an elongated thumb below the dodgy hip. It’s so messed up, that the Korean edition of the magazine used a "corrected" version of the image to make it look slightly more realistic.
