Photoshop Disaster, Diet Disaster

Westerners notice it. The clothes run slightly smaller, and a medium in Japan would be a small—or even a petite—back home.

The above photos appeared recently in Japanese girls’ magazine Koakuma Ageha. The magazine originally was aimed at young women working as hostesses in bars (even in fuzoku or prostitution), but the publication has since gone mainstream.
