Padma is a classy bitch. She lost a few points with us when she did that ad for Hardee's Bacon Triple Bypass Burger with Extra Arterial Fat. 

This latest photo, on the other hand, is lovely. And it proves that she does not eat at Hardee's:

Tasteful. Classy. And those are not the thighs of someone who eats Double Bacon Pounders with Mayo and Cheese. We really enjoy this photo, but, as jossip.com points out, it's missing something:

Can't see it? Maybe that's because the 7-inch scar on her forearm — from a car accident when she was little — is either hidden or Photoshopped away entirely. Which is sad, because Padma tells People that it's her favorite body part.

We too are a little sad that Padma's scar doesn't make an appearance. But we can't say we're super suprised. The folks at Allure photoshop with wild abandon. It's as though their designers go for two-for-one mojitos during happy hour and then work the night shift, photoshopping the living shit out of the beautiful women they feature while giggling profusely, and wondering what they put in those drinks to make them so damn juice-box good. It's the sugar-rum combo, guys and gals. Nature's crack will make you do crazy things. Just look:

Really, somebody needs to stop them. The lovely Gabrielle Union looks like one of those bronzed statue people in time square. Like if you give her a quarter she'll do a quick jig then get back on her paint bucket til some kid throws a half eaten hot dog at her chest. That ain't right.
