Pet, this picture has been discussed before, but do your female eyes detect any “photographic enhancemant”? Flame says that one would need a larger photo to tell, well here it is (sort of…..). Was the photo stretched? Were any flaws removed? Her boobs look too good…..
Check out her shoulders. Women don’t have shoulders that much larger than their hips, they look like male dimensions. Female hips are larger than most men (for childbirth) and to have shoulders larger than the hips…..I smell a rat (photographic rat, that is…..). Opinions?
P.S. I am not knocking Xenia here; but rather, the unrealist concepts of beauty being portrayed in the media.

Fatguy, I doubt that there’s any celebrity poster sold nowadays that isn’t airbrushed/enhanced in some way. If you’re going to put them on your wall, you might as well see them at their best [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

There is no such thing as a professionally taken photograph for marketing purposes that has [i]not [/i]been doctored. They call it something like “artistic enhancement” and it’s cost is usually built right into the photographer’s fees anymore. It is possible Xenia never even saw raw proofs-I think they now do shading corrections during the developement stage.
As to her body- I’ll let you guys be the judge of that! Though I will say, if her hips were shaved, it probably was done so her body would conform to the still widely preferred Westernized female “boy form” dominating the runways…that has not changed for [b]years[/b]! Bigger, fuller boobs [i]have [/i]finally found their place in the fashion/glamour industry, though. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

My crappy two cents on that photo..
The camera adds weight, thats a known fact.. If that picture were close to real.. shed be the width of the speaker on my radio..
and barely would be able to squeeze out a small Grape fruit not a baby.. ha ha.

I assumed her hips were “taken in” a little, probably through camera work or digitally, not airbrushing. Below the waist she seems boyish to me. And… any pic that’s going to be shown in a mag or life-sized is always airbrushed.
You could compare it to the pic on the Frey’s site showing Xenia in the Egyptian outfit holding one of the Klone dolls. She is in a similar position.

I don’t know why anyone would want to cut their hips down, since most people who like looking at women prefer a 2 to 3 waist to hip ratio no matter what the waist and hip size. (Discovery Channel or Learning Channel Bio of Sex show. I can’t remember which one.)
However, she may also just be a “cone” body type, more typical of men than women, but it still happens. Most lingerie models these days are cone or ruler types, as opposed to hourglass or pear. That’s why they have to stand in those awkward positions to make their hips look rounder. But their stomachs are generally flatter, which makes for better fit.
I digress. I do think her hips were taken in. I also think if it was posted in a room, it would take awhile for anyone to notice it, with the rest of the pic being so distracting. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
At least they didn’t airbrush out her hip bone and rib cage like they do over at Playboy. She still looks half human.

Even the rap around her hips looks added in. If you look at in Adobe you can see.
But anyway, Lets hear it for HIPS! and LIPS!!
Well, here’s MY two cents worth: I do photographic digital retouching for a living, and compared the poster image with the image off of the Frey’s site one-to-one. The poster image’s dimensions match almost identically to the costumed snapshot. I’d guess she’s just shaped like that in real life.
I also work with many photographers, and will add that there are lots of ways to “enhance” someone’s body in a photo shoot that don’t involve digital techniques. So it’s entirely possible her pose looks the way it does due to a wonderful photographer, good lighting, and carefully placed props you don’t see, all designed to enhance her obvious talents.

I think you’re right, upon reflection with more time. If you cut one out and paste it in transfer over the other, they pretty much match up. In the poster, her weight is on her right leg, and her hips swing that way, but they are the same size if you resize them by her eyes then line them up by probable belly-button position.
I think there’s a bit of an illusion that makes her hips appear smaller in the poster, because her right hip bone (stage left) is darker than the rest, so at a glance she looks thinner there.
It’s rare to see a model in this “jug and mug-shot” pose. The more I look at it, the more refreshing it is.
Pet;D

LOL!
I´ll drink to anything that has to do with women!!!!!
I agree that the dimensions don’t quite look right. especialls the shoulders vs. hips, it just doesnt look right. I’d expect it to be a fake nude, as it looks really altered. Maybe it’s real, she definately doesnt look bad, I dont think she could look bad if she TRIED! But it just doesnt look like the body we see in the Xev costume. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
It’s not like there are alot of them out there…any pic of Xenia is okay with me.
Trust me. The proportions are correct. I’ve been examining Xev/Xenia for months trying to get her player model to look right in [i]JK2[/i].
