Tired of Rubenesque art undermining your will to work out? Well you’re in luck, because a philanthropic artist has used Photoshop to reshape the women in ten classics of art: they’re lean, they’re mean, and in total conformance with the media’s standards of teh hottitude.
Let’s take a look at The Birth of Venus:
Venus's Half-Shell is Riding a Little Low in the Water
…and now zero-sized:
After a Couple of Weeks on the StairMaster, Venus is Tuned Up for Bikini Season, Bikini Apparently Optional
Interesting to see how much tastes have changed, but I think the real message is that there is a large span of body types that are attractive. You can see 9 more examples of that span at the link.
Few of them actually look better after their slimdown treatment, even to the modern eye.
I think he didn’t do such a great job reshaping the legs in p-shop, though, so that might be the problem.
I like the first one better.

…’specially when they ain’t wearin’ no knickers.
Makes me want to find a new receipe for clam chowder.
Skinny clamshell version just looks anorexic…I prefer the girth of Venus.
The Titian and the Bougereau were the most successful alterations IMO. Some of the other ones look like the proportions are seriously off.
g bro, what theme is this…. that I detect in all your posts of late?
Electric Bougereau
I liked the one where the dude had him a big ‘ol handful of titty!
Brewfan delivers the sensitive and insightful analysis of fine art.
Dude, you should be a reviewer.
Reminds me of the porn film they play in A Boy and His Dog:
Fistful of Rawhide
What’s the one Raphael did right before “Scuola di Atene” (School in Athens)? Was it “Canottaggio Hypatia’ Avvertimenti Sonori Dis” (Motorboatin Hypatia’s Hooters)?
Why thank you Miss Lauraw! I particularly enjoy religious art. I think this one is from the Renaissance.

In other words, the real message is that we don’t give a shit, as long as we get a phone number and have a marginal chance of getting lucky.
