    Was reviewing the new Stihl Lightning series of battery-powered saws, and came across this pic. Is this person/woman/man a body-builder...or...what? My brain and eyes are trading conflicting messages. Just curious about what seems to be a interesting choice of a photo, with maybe plenty of Photoshop thrown in for good measure. Something is just not adding up for me with all the forearm hair.. I smell a Photoshop head swap here.

    Not wishing at all to take away from muscular ladies in better shape than me (kudos to them all) - I just don't understand this picture choice. Why should I care? I don't know the answer to that quite yet...

    If so, why would Stihl do that? That's taking "manscaping" to an extreme. :-D

    Maybe I'm just too old skool.

    Ok, good to know I wasn't the only one who looked at that with a tilted head and cocked eyebrow.

    So much is photochopped these days. I appreciate when you can tell it's not been done. I'd rather see all the imperfections, makes it real.

    I say it is a transgender:rofl: :lol:

    Really, I think the arms are from a man, and it is a woman's head. I'm not sure about the rest.

    After doing some searching it might be one of the "Ax Women" Andrea Robarge. It looks like Stihl is a sponsor.
