In the interview she says she’d rather be a “puma” than a “cougar” – but apparently, the clumsy Photoshop artist decided she was looking too strong in the cover shots – and awkwardly chopped off part of her left thigh. Note how the upper part of her left thigh/hip is basically missing (our right). Did she have some sort of weird car accident that left a wedge of meat missing from it? The fabric even magically floats above the missing thigh. Ha!

I feel about this the same way I did about the Ralph Lauren model.
