Awkward Photoshop Accident Chops Up Poor Nordstrom Lingerie Model’s Elbow

One of our favorite things around these parts is bad photoshop, as there simply never seems to be an end to the awful butchering of people’s bodies in photos via designers, magazines and more. Today’s case involves a young Nordstrom Rack lingerie model who has found herself in a bit of an awkward place, what with her elbow looking like it hopes to someday soon depart from her body.

The image is for the Affinitas Hannah Balconet Padded Bra, and while the floral bra with violet lace trim and the matching panties are very lovely, just looking at the way her elbow bone’s were e-hacked makes me a little sad. Her elbow appears to have been awkward chopped and cropped into an angular mess via some heavy-handed photoshopping. She is hands down a stunning lady, of course, but her skin has been airbrushed past the point of no return and she’s starting to inch up the Uncanny Valley.

Bad photoshop has a long history of impacting women’s bodies and making them look like they simply must be injured in order to exist the way they are being shown. Whether the brand decides to switch around a model’s legs, disconnect her feet or give her the thigh gap from hell, the worst wizards of photoshop are famous for botched body jobs. On the bright side, at least this time the model’s broken, protruding limb was not cut out like a paper doll. On the not-so-bright side, we should really stop virtually breaking model’s limbs.

Burglary suspect caught on roof of lingerie shop

PORTLAND – A man broke into an adult modeling business Tuesday morning, scared two female workers and trashed the place before he ended up on the roof of the building, police said.

Officers and firefighters had to get him down to take him into custody.

Employees at Pussycats, on West Burnside and 2nd Avenue, say the man broke in and eventually smashed through the ceiling. Police said he ended up between the ceiling and roof, doing damage all along the way.

“We could hear him tearing things apart inside. Once a K-9 got here, we were able to make entry,” said Portland police Sgt. Rob Slyter.

The man, whom police later identified as 57-year-old Ronald Gamboa, then broke through the roof, climbed down a billboard, and ended up on the lower roof of Dante’s Nightclub.

Police worked to get Gamboa calmed down so they could take him into custody safely.

“It was really to try and convince him to come down from where he was at emotionally, and they kept repeating, ‘Don’t hurt yourself. There’s no sense in throwing yourself away,’” said Bill Palo, who saw the event unfold.

Eventually officers and firefighters used a truck equipped with a ladder and bucket to retrieve Gamboa from the roof and arrest him.

“If we can avoid having to use force on him, keep our officers safe, the public safe and the subject safe, that’s our win-win situation,” said Slyter.

Gamboa was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on burglary and criminal mischief charges. He also had a parole violation.
