English term or phrase: airbrushed

Hollywood's men went topless in the 1930s (though airbrushed into the 1950s to avoid the brutality of body hair), and the nation-wide trend, expressing physique while suggesting sensuality, followed with alacrity.

Explanation:
El airbrush es una técnica para corregir defectos en las fotos de publicidad, por ejemplo. No sé si en los años 30 existían estas técnicas, pero creo que en este caso se refieren a alterar la película para que parezca que los actores no tienen vello (horreur ;)

What most women and men don\'t realize is that every image of a model or actress in a fashion or beauty magazine (or catalog) has been touched-up using the latest computer technology to remove bulges, pimples, stretch marks, etc. Elizabeth Hurley even admitted that her breasts were electronically enlarged for the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine.

Christy Turlington explains to Elle magazine... \"Advertising is so manipulative,\" she says. \"***There\'s not one picture in magazines today that\'s not airbrushed***.\" ... \"It\'s funny,\" Turlington continues. \"When women see pictures of models in fashion magazines and say, \'I can never look like that,\' what they don\'t realize is that no one can look that good without the help of a computer.\"
