Because culture says that women never look good enough.
I'm mostly putting this here as a personal reminder of how Western (specifically American, in this case) society works to destroy female self-image.
At the Iwanex Studio website, under their portfolio section, you can see some of the retouched photos of celebrities that they've done... when you scroll over the image, you can see what the picture looked like before it was photoshopped. See Cameron Diaz's breasts reshaped and her arms and legs made smaller! See freckles disappear! See Julia Stiles' breasts and hips grow! Watch as women are given uniform 'hourglass' figures!
They fuck with some guys' appearances, too, but not to the same extent.

I don't think Queen Elizabeth the 1st looked as great as paintings made her out to be either, at least now we can see the truth, those women's magazines are just as obsessed at taking unflattering photos and plastering them on the covers as well. I distinctly recall a Mischa Barton in swimwear with obvious cellulite on one cover not so long ago, of course it's now Mischa Barton looking like a skeleton, so it varies.

i don't see any difference in photoshopping this type of photography and grabbing a photograph of a random object or a scenery shot and photoshopping to to make it look better

I've talked to my 13 year old about this stuff, but I'm going to show her this website. It's a perfect example of why you can't compare yourself to the photos in magazines -- even models don't look like models in real life!
