Stomach Sucked In
The question here is whether the woman is sucking her stomach in, or has the picture been photoshopped? I'd vote for photoshop. Definitely. It reminds me of the 'too skinny' photos I posted a year or so ago (one of which may not be 'safe for work'). (via slowdown)

Her stomach looks a bit like Bill Clinton with his eyes closed. Or, not.
Posted by Hairy Houdini on Tue Apr 12, 2005 at 11:20 PM
I agree, Photoshoped.
Posted by Myst on Tue Apr 12, 2005 at 11:25 PM
i say forced perspective AND photoshop.
Posted by chloe in san diego on Tue Apr 12, 2005 at 11:43 PM
I can do it, so I'm guess it's probably real. Also on Channel 4's TFI Friday many years ago, they had a section called 'freak or unique' and they paraded people with unusual features and "talents", they had one guy who did the same thing.
I never thought it was even that strange...im pretty skinny and all you need to do is suck your stomach up towards your ribs, then flex your solar plexus to create the effect

I had a couple of friends that used to compete against each other, seeing who could suck in (their stomachs) the furtherest.
I'm going for the not photoshopped.

it's photoshopped...if you look at the bigger pic, it looks like her sides are distorted/blurry. the middle is real, but the sides have been taken in.
Posted by jessica on Wed Apr 13, 2005 at 04:06 AM
Yeah, I'm with Jessica on this one. I vote both.
My brother (very, very skinny) can do something like this.

No doubt the girl in the picture is skinny, and can probably suck in her sides, but you're saying the protruding center section is her solar plexis? I've never seen a section of a person's midsection in that sort of shape before (which, of course, doesn't mean it can't happen).
I think it was Mark Twain who said, "Interesting if true. Interesting anyway.)

Fake. Even skinny people can't suck that much in.

Its just perspective. Its not sucked in, but puffed out. She is just sucking her stomach in, and its poofing out in the middle. If she was sucking it all in, you could see the bottom of her breast bone where her ribs meet.
Posted by pierced freak on Wed Apr 13, 2005 at 04:02 PM
no it's not photoshopped, I watched steve harveys big time and there was a guy who could do the same thing, he could even kick himself in the head and turn his legs around he was double jointed everywhere

I'm voting for "real." For one thing do you really believe ALL human bodies are constructed exactly the same? Of course they're not... as for the sides being "blurry" when the middle is in focus... I don't know of any camera that keeps EVERYTHING in the view finder in perfect focus... I've also seen a lot of wierd stuff out there. Anyone watch Dave Letterman? Stupid Human Tricks???
Posted by Mark-N-Isa in Midwest USA on Wed Apr 13, 2005 at 07:28 PM
I'll say it's possible that she was actually sucking in her stomach. The human body is an amazing thing, and I'm not willing to completely write this off as fake yet. Of course, it could very well be photoshopped. However, I think I'll take a leap with this one and say it's real.
Posted by KungFuMoose on Wed Apr 13, 2005 at 10:33 PM
I'm not quite willing to view the full sized picture to judge if it's photoshopped or not. But if it's real, then I have to ask, WHY?
Posted by Citizen Premier in spite of public outcry on Thu Apr 14, 2005 at 12:41 AM
I vote real. I had a friend (a guy) in school who did this all the time. The way she's leaning forward makes it appear a little (but only a little) smaller than it would in real life. But it's very possible because I've seen it done. He could also move the center band of muscle around in an undulating fashion while sucked in.
Posted by freendeed in Kentucky, USA on Fri Apr 15, 2005 at 04:26 PM
I vote that this is real. When I was younger, BK, (Before Kids), I was very thin and had great abdominal control and could do a very similar trick with my stomach. You suck in you stomach and push out the center. I can't do it anymore, but I can see how this picture could be real. Some people can do really weird things with their bodies.

Many years ago, I came to know how to stop the hiccups. It is very easy. I cannot tell you how this is done, or how I came to know of this, for I am a gentleman, and not for nothing am I called: Raoul, The Man of Many Secret Talents. I have shown the Llamas, but they never remember, and refuse to write it down. Rrrraoul

there is a high-res version of this picture posted at URL:
href="http://www.manzonderkop.be/post.do?id=8587">here</a>
In that version, some clear differences in pixelation can be seen with regard to the "sucked in" side parts of the stomach (and also the door visible), so I should say; fake.

im pretty sure its not photoshopped, i can do it, it really isnt that hard or maybe im just wierd i dunno.....=D

Not photoshopped, I can do that, I'll try to find a picture.
Posted by Sean on Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 07:57 PM
i think its just gross but im sure its possible my lil brother can do it so i believe it
Posted by kiersten degraff in manchester tennessee on Thu Apr 28, 2005 at 01:49 PM
Its real, I was real skinny growing up and could do that too.
Posted by Rob in N.Yorks UK on Sat May 28, 2005 at 02:44 PM
I want to be that skinny but not that FREAKY...
I say its gross...tho unique
Posted by Onzy in mm on Sun Jun 19, 2005 at 04:00 AM

I think it is possible. I can suck in very far, but not like that. I just go completely inwards. It could not have been photoshopped because I have all versions of it and you can do those sorts of things, but the pic gets extremely pixelated and distorted.
Posted by Anonymus in California on Mon Jul 04, 2005 at 01:06 PM
thats so gay almost anybody that is skinny can do that
Posted by ha in somewhere on Tue Jul 12, 2005 at 05:39 PM
I have a skinny (genetics, she really has a hard time gaining weight) friend who can do this. Not to such an amazing extent, but it is pretty darn gross.
So I go for probably real.
Posted by Andi in Seattle, WA on Fri Jul 29, 2005 at 03:57 PM
So I go for probably real.
It is possible. I cant do it exactly like that but as Anonymus describes. And if I could see any girls who can suck in very far email a pic(s) to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Posted by Sonia on Tue Aug 02, 2005 at 02:07 PM
I used to be able to do that when I was about 12, so I vote that the pic is real.
Posted by Lisa in MA on Fri Aug 19, 2005 at 10:54 AM
My friend can do that, easily. To be honest, I really wish I could too. Not photoshopped, and I'd like to meet that girl!
