Some people are upset that Kelly Clarkson was airbrushed to death on the September cover of Self magazine.

My blogging buddy at www.bforyourlife.com articulated his thoughts on Self's newest cover girl and I couldn't agree more.

I thought that Self was a fitness and nutrition magazine. I would never think to put Kelly Clarkson on the cover of Self Magazine right now. Maybe two years ago, but not now. Not only that, but if I were Kelly Clarkson, I wouldn't want to be on the cover of Self Magazine.

The celebrities that are on the cover of Self are always really skinny and toned. They are always wearing bikinis or really fitted outfits. What is Kelly wearing? She is wearing a loose top, and white pants on a white background. It just screams "Hide the chunk!" This just seems extremely dissonant to me.

And with that, we have a lil common sense!

Anyway, Self's editor-in-chief, Lucy Danziger, fessed up and said, "Yes. Of course we do retouching. Did we alter her appearance? Only to make her look her personal best. I think this photo is the truest we have ever put out there on the newsstand."

Self is defeating the purpose of using a bigger woman by making her a smaller woman. Unfortunately, me thinks Self will return to featuring skinny a*s b*tches so that they don't have to defend themselves for their digital slimming.

Here's some more recent pictures of "the truest" images of Ms. Clarkson.
