I'd rather see Lindsay's freckles (and fake tan) than 'photoshop porcelain paleness' because she doesn't look human anymore in that ensemble piece of computer surgery.
I can see what they were trying to achieve, but that look isn't very Lindsay - not when you need to alter her appearance digitally - and to mess up the face of someone whose saving grace is their photogenicity is to squander the entire point of using her at all.
Overall, the design of the cover is fine, the pose is fine, even the idea of the styling is fine IF they'd used someone suitable for it, like Dita Von Teese, who has skin of pale perfection and can do her own eyeliner and lipstick.
But to use someone and then digitally alter them to look awful, is a waste of that celebrity and a waste of that cover.
