seconded.

Well, I won't bash on Madonna now. This effect on her face bothers me. It makes looking at it unpleasant, like there is some stain on your eye or the image. The bag is fugly.

I really hate the concept. It is so incredibly unoriginal. That heavy purple velvet setting, curtain and sofa, that's the first thing to come up with, huh? And they pay that man so many dollars. For nothing but a old, expressionless hag and some stupid effects.

Looks great from the head down.
She looks just as terrible as she did at the MET Gala period.

Oh, and to the person commenting on her hands. Her hands have always been veiny. She had the same hands when she was in her 30's! And besides... she's aging, what are we gonna do, blame her? Suggest she crawls away and stops existing?

She can still deliver the goods, and then some! I'm not particularly fond of the ageist element in society that tends to judge you on the year you were born in.

I completely agree with you; she is flawless. And I am a bad bad boy and criticizing Madonna because she is old, not because she looks inflammable here. I should really be ashamed of myself for badmouthing poor Madonna - she has been through so much peril and agony recently.

She is a survivor: she is an angel, she is Oprah, she is a strong black woman!! With the satin bunny ears, boy-slvt, LV panties and everything.

dude, you're fighting with a Madonna stan. they won't budge with their opinion

[Elfinkova]

This is a whole new kind of bad.

[thiago:)]

I do actually like the colors.

[Kanna]

It's tragic that's a real one. I was hopeful for Manuva's post.

i don't get it. i can only suppose that during these hard times LV wants to stick to a big star... because if they think she looks so wrinkled and bad that they have to airbrush her until she looks like a wax statue of a 20-year-old, what are the other reasons not to cast a 20-year-old and just tone down the airbrushing?

[Bengt]

OMG this is so sad..

Uhm, yes, I'm a fan, but I wasn't fighting, AT ALL! I posted a picture of her without make-up, he posted the worst picture of her ever taken. Good for him, but what's his point. I can keep on posting thousands of pics more recent then the one he posted where she looked absolutely lovely without make-up or anything. I just don't get the point... I also wasn't saying he was supposed to praise her, but seriously, WHAT was his point?

Oh please......don't be so defensive It's nothing to do with her age, I'm commenting on her hands and suggesting if they photoshopped her face they might as well do her hands......which I hadn't noticed were like this at any age.
I don't blame her for aging, and if she wants to crawl away fair play to her, I could care less......I think her hands look bad........end of.

To be honest, I blame this more on Meisel then on Madonna. Madonna has in the recent past shown that she is not afraid to go for unconventional photoshoots that do not necesarilly go for beauty. Look at her work with Steven Klein.

In contrast with her 3 recent shoots with Meisel which were all VERY heavily photoshopped to make her look like a marble greek statue. I think it's Meisel's thing to use photoshop to create an image of perfection. Compare these shots for instance with Madonna's Vanity Fair shoot which she did with Meisel. Her face has the same kind of style in it. Very pristine, porcelain and statuesque. I think it's mostly Meisel's art direction at work here...

I agree with you -
so much better than last years.

I like the colours in this
