Maybe the picture on the left was lifted from one of those horizontally stretched TV images?

I'd say the caption should omit the word "fit" as couric doesn't appear to be so.

Sigh, if only it were that easy.

My sentiments exactly, Texas Canuck!

Where can I find someone to airbrush me? Three times a week at the gym takes a lot of time and energy...It'll take months to go from me in the left photo to me in the right one.

Help!

Didn't she lose several houses in Beireut too? That black dress looks familiar.

People...why are you so closed minded. Perhaps it was the earlier photo that was retouched to make her appear heavier than she is in reality?

Hey BATB, I can photoshop but I must warn you that airbrushing can be ticklish experience ;-)

Texas Canuck, you're a sweetheart!

Thanks for the kind thought...but I HATE being tickled...

That's a resize anomaly made when the image was shaped to fit a particular display, then subsequently copied out. Common with images that move around from system to system.

nope. check the gaps between her arms and waist.

You right of course - I didn't look close enough - they did at least two things, resized the width against the height (note background) AND trimmed a fair bit of jacket off the sleeves waist and shoulders (at least)...

Hey, I got a buddy who used to make a Toronto living (well) doing that with an airbrush for ad agencies, till digital caused him to "retire"...

I'm not so much concerned about the airbrushing. It's a laugh, but not something I'd worry about as international news, or even just national news. But since I see the pictures...

Am I the only one who thinks that Katie's smile makes her look eerily similar to The Joker?

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
