It was way more obvious in video than it is in these stills. It's not just lighting. It's "what the fuck that woman has no navel."

And then it's back!
And then it's gone again!
Update: Now with higher resolution images.
1. Wow, that is a grotesque looking woman.
2. I was just talking yesterday about how I wish I didn't have a belly button. Hmm.
Weird... I know there's a VS undie model that has no bellybutton and they have to make all these ones in photoshop to pop on her while they're editing. But that's not her.
OK, I'll bite. HOW is it that she has no bellybutton?
my mom doesn't have one - it was removed when she had an umbilical hernia as a baby. pretty much everyone in my family had an umbilical hernia, including me. my BB was just turned inside out from the surgery so it looks sorta "normal".
I wonder if I can get that done if I ever go in for breast implants! XD
Anyone can get their belly button surgically removed if they want to... My grand aunt had hers removed. (The use of of "grand aunt" should indicate to you how long this procedure has been available, as well.)

I'm trying to work out what the equivalent of "How does he smell?" for this situation is.
I believe you're looking for "where does he keep his lint?"
The equivalent is "How does she smell?".
the hatterI guess ask Al Pacino, as I believe she's "the woman" in "Scent of a Woman".
And my father's belly button was a casualty of surgery on his intestines a couple of years ago. A plastic surgeon offered to give him a fake one to replace it, saying that having no belly button was "dementing," but my father decided against it. I'd argue that looking as if you ingest two hundred calories a day is what's really dementing here.
"Dementing"? This is what they do in the scary prison in the Harry Potter books, remove wizards' belly buttons?
President Obama has promised to end the practice of removing suspected terrorists' belly buttons.
I'm slightly surprised that it's possible not to have a bellybutton. Was she created from a man's rib?
She might just have been from revision 1 of Genesis, where man and woman were created equal. (From which we get the Jewish legends of Lilith, who was Adam's first wife, and who walked away when Adam wanted to be in command and on top. Three angels went to talk to Lilith and ask her to come back, but she rejected them all. These days, she's in the business of making new children of Lilith from babies that die from cot deaths.)
Lost it in a BOGO sale on Gucci bags.
I was thinking that it looked weird.
Jesus that woman looks like skeletor. Seeing the ribs coming off the sternum is NOT normal, that is just way too thin.
The future of vat-grown celebrities gets more promising all the time.
soylent blue is famous!
I think they were airbrushing her camp-inmate torso into something attractive and were sloppy about it.
In this sample at least (I've never heard of this show) she has a belly button only when she has crazy defined abs and ribs. When it looks like she has a few ounces of bodyfat on her frame, no belly button. Except that last frame, that's ambiguous.
That's... just so very strange. She's got kind of an odd one anyway... hmm.
Why must you always ask the questions that leave me confused for weeks? This'll be one of those times where I end up getting a dozen legislators to have a wacky bar debate again, I know it.
(Also, fantastic show. Can't wait until there's another season on DVD.)
I noticed that too. I figured it was a trick of the light.
Maybe it's not that they photoshopped it OUT, but that they missed photoshopping it IN.
Phew. I'm glad my wife and I aren't the only ones who noticed that.
Any chance the mpeg conversion thinks its noise and removes it auto-magically?
I can see something very like it in frame two and the last one, but these are not particularly high definition pictures.
For research purposes, I downloaded a torrent that claimed to be "HD". It did not appear to be very H.
They're pretty much all labeled 'HD' these days, but that's only indicative of the source.
What you're looking for should be labeled '720p'.
Fixed.
Perhaps she is a Stepford Wife. As I recall, once the Wives were Stepfordized, they didn't have bellybuttons, either.
I can't conceive of a rationale for removing her bellybutton only in some shots and not in others.
There is a tiny chance they're comping in (not "photoshopping," since this is video) a belly button on some shots. On the second to last shot the lighting looks slightly incorrect.
More likely, though, her bellybutton just has very little depth so that you only see it when the light is hard and direct. When the light is flatter, the high level of compression smooths out the differences in color until it becomes invisible. So it'd be a combination of lighting and processing. Notice that her ab definition also disappears in flat light.
