Brigitte, Germany's most popular women's mag, bans professional models
“From 2010 we will not work with professional models any more,” said Andreas Lebert, editor-in-chief, adding that he was “fed up” with having to retouch pictures of underweight models who bore no resemblance to ordinary women.
“For years we’ve had to use Photoshop to fatten the girls up,” he said. “Especially their thighs, and decolletage. But this is disturbing and perverse and what has it got to do with our real reader?”

from the article: “Critics accused Brigitte of seeking a cost-cutting strategy at a time of declining magazine sales, and of dressing it up as a campaign issue to attract new readers, but Lebert insisted the ‘ordinary women’ would be paid the same amounts that the magazine would otherwise pay model agencies.”
I’ll believe this when i see it, but i won’t see it, so i conclude i don’t and will not believe this.
