You know how that saying goes, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. As the Internet is still having a laugh at Kanye West and his video for “Bound 2” (below) featuring his fiancée Kim Kardashian, a new topic of discussion has been opened: how much was she retouched in post-production to look this slim?

Our guess would be “a lot,” especially after seeing her in that see-through mesh top the other day. The Daily Mail has a side-by-side photo comparison and there’s no denying it: Kim appears slimmer in the video and it’s not just because of the camera angle.

While it’s understandable for a celebrity to do whatever is in their power to make sure they always look their best in photos and on film, Kim did take it a step too far. As always, the Internet has been paying attention and it’s not about to let this one slip, she’s not getting away with it.

So now, instead of just laughing about “Bound 2” because it’s, well, silly and budget and cheesy (and feels more like a spoof than an actual music video), we can also laugh about how Kim was slimmed down in post-production because she’s too shallow to actually embrace her curvy figure that she claims to be so proud of.

Trust us, she does claim that a lot, which is why she’d be expected to live up to her curvy reputation and not resort to such cheap tricks that fool no one – or at least not most of the people with a pair of eyes and access to the Internet.

And here’s a half-denial that was probably sanctioned by someone from Kim’s camp, via HollywoodLife. “She wanted to get in shape before filming. Kanye had been begging her for a while to do something with him. She is not photoshopped!” says a spy.

Clearly, she’s been working out and she’s in amazing shape, but one thing that Kim is definitely not is as slim as she appears to be.
