2. I don't refer to Lady Gaga
Edited on Wed Sep-29-10 06:16 PM by rocktivity
as "Mandonna's Granddaughter" for nothing.

P.S. Remove the "?w=500&h=375" from the pic's URL and it should come up in the post.

4. you know...i don't see anything wrong with either of these photos. she looks like a woman
crying in color and black & white. they're both interesting photos. the b/w one, with the post-processing work is more appropriate for the ad. the color one is more interesting to me.

8. An individual photograph is untrue ...
as much as I dislike Madonna ....


A photograph is a moment out of time. It might be generally true, completely false, or somewhere in between

The photo on the right is retouched.

The photo on the left, due to the extreme light angle (which most people will not understand the meaning of) exaggerates the size of the veins on her arms.

Neither might be true of how she looks on the street.

10. I think she looks pretty damned good for her age. Most women
Edited on Wed Sep-29-10 07:00 PM by Shell Beau
I know who are her age don't look nearly as good. Of course they don't have the $$$ she has. She seems to be very strict on herself when it comes to her diet and exercise. Not a bad thing always, but she could definitely stand a little more meat on her bones, IMO. That ages her more than anything else.

13. yes, she looks good at her age, she is fine, so why the fuck do they need to make her 2 decades
younger.....

thru photoshop

people are defending her looks at her age. hooyah. absolutely. and the need to take two decades off her to make her presentable to the public is an issue.

18. I find it entertaining that many liberal women
enjoy attacking other liberal women because of their success. They will excoriate them over the most minor of critiques.

Not only are these two diffrent editiorial shots, the treatment the B&W photo received is no different than the touchups the majorty of actors get when securing headshots, if you have the $.

There's a word for women who are overly critical of other women...I believe it starts with a 'J'...

so you made up your own story in order to present the image you wanted to, regardless of the truth.
