My favorite changes aren't the inevitable boob enhancing/butt reducing/flab concealing ones, but some of the seemingly random changes. Like in the one with the three women on the bed, the bedspread has been entirely changed. It's been changed to match the pattern of the pillows behind them. Also, what appears to be a metal ornament at the foot of the bed has been removed entirely. The woman on the left had her tattoo (around her belly button) airbrushed out, while the two other women got to keep their much *more* obvious tats. Pretty interesting aesthetic choices.

Also, I noticed that several women got their butts reduced, and several got theirs enhanced. But if there was ever any changes to the breast area, it was *always* an enhancement. Never noticed a single instance of breast reduction being done. I also noticed one where a woman got her pants pulled up to show less of her butt, and one where the woman's bikini bottoms got reduced to butt floss.

I wonder now how far these retouches go, and if there's any legal issues involved. For instance, in the picture where the woman got her bikini bottoms essentially removed, if that model was unhappy with the final product, would she have any recourse? She posed in fairly normal bikini bottoms that showed off the edges of her butt, but she shows up in the magazine wearing butt floss. First, that's NOT EVEN HER BUTT showing, and second, she didn't pose that way and perhaps didn't even want to pose that way. It's kind of interesting to think about.
