I'm sure by now many of you have seen it, but I was pretty shocked noone has posted it! It probably invites too many bashing, but what the heck, here it is:

While I think the theme is pretty cool with the backdrop and the dress, I could do without all the airbrushing. I don't mind the darker hair extensions, since it gives her a more alluring look, but the rest is just too much, and does not look like Sasha at all. Sasha's recent pictures from the Emmy's and earlier this season from other events, where MUCH healthier and prettier than this computer enhanced photoshopped mess. They apparently feel making Sasha even more waif-like, thinner faced and stick legs is a better image for "wholesomeness" and "healthy" for a milk campaign. I think it's a travesty, considering the low self-image and eating disorders that many teens face.
Here is, IMO, an healthy, beautiful Sasha picture to compare:

They probably are touched up as well, who's isn't??? but can't say these two ads are as badly touched up as Sasha's and make them look non-human:

That reminds me of a thread a while back that was talking about a "skating show theme" and someone brought up Lord of the Rings
http://www.dailycollage.com/collages/lotr3/05-lord-of-the-rings-800x600.jpg
The ad makes Sasha look like she's in a X-box game, a realistic computer image. The other picture, the silver color of the dress is good, the length is not bad, the fabric and stial are not good for her. A silk jersy halter top, with a high neck line, would have been much better.
Har har har. She looks like she's about to make a cameo appearance in the movie "Polar Express." Just a little tidbit I found browsing other skating forums. A picture:

Yes, it's definitely been heavily edited.
Ok, to the pic is "Nightmare before Christmas" freaky...but am I the only one over the "Edge by Sasha" comment? She's standing on the freaking FLAT of her blade people!! (Not like Sasha's edges have ever been the part of her skating more highly praised). I think it's flipping hysterical!!
I'm surprised that Sasha's people would feature this negative article on Sasha's web site. If you read it carefully, it basically says that the ad campaign is a fraud.
