Kudos to Keira for Taking a Stand ...

By Jennifer

Though 2014 will certainly go down in history as the Year of Leaked Celeb Pics, there's a photo of Keira Knightley making headlines that wasn't part of an assault on her privacy, but rather part of a statement about something she sees as a terrible standard in the media.

She posed for the photo in Interview magazine, sans shirt, with one condition: that it not be retouched in any way. And what seems like a reasonable request is actually quite shocking, much more shocking than the photo itself. Because Keira's no stranger to the epidemic of Ridiculous Retouching, having been "enlarged" and airbrushed for paparazzi pics and movie posters for years.

But why? It's not realistic, and it's just not necessary. The photo is NSFW, of course, but it's perfectly lovely without the smoothing, shaping, airbrushing, and more.
Kudos to you, Keira. We adore you!

So cool! I have small breasts too. I like them a lot, plus they are so much easier and age well too! I nursed 4 kids for two years each and they still look fine.

Brave and totally inspirational. I wish more role models would take this stance.

Finally us small chested women can feel a little better!

Love her!

As an artist I fully believe that the lighting, camera settings and qualified photographer are more then enough to make any woman look beautiful, photoshop is one of the biggest harmful and unnecessary pieces of technology. Also many models have tiny boobs, french vogue still puts out confident photos of small boobs on skinny ribs under sheer fabric and they are stunning. The truth is all real boobs are awesome, just look after them :)
