I think she´s still a beautiful woman, who does a lot for beeing in shape. It´s not nice to present her like this, unretouched.She´s a personality and stands for the things she does and I think we need more people who act the same way.

It’s pretty sad that all this retouching is done. What image are we sending to the youth? What? That we aren’t good enough being ourselves and in our own skin. I wonder why the majority of young girls have eating disorders and diet before reaching the age of 10. it’s quite lame. If I was a woman in the media, I would refuse the retouching and most people will say, will you won’t stay in the industry too long but what if all women took a stand on this, then there would be no choice but then again you always have those dump air-heads that will still do it so they can be considered “the hottest woman”. haha Oh my…power to every day women out there, all the moms and all the woman in the workforce, it’s us who make a difference in the world. :)

I am a photographer and no professional especially Steven Meisel would shoot Madonna in flat lighting…the photos that are supposed to represent Madonna “Untouched” are actually retouched to make her look unflattering.
Intentionally adding larger pores, skin texture and bags/wrinkles.
Yes dont believe everything you see people, in this case Madonna has been altered to look BAD.

The funny thing about ageing is that whether you look as though you are or not …..you are. So whether she looks or wants to look 10,20,30 years younger…she isn’t. Ageing is a gift. Looking great any age is nice but just getting a year older and being able to find things to smile about is more important than how you look.

We should be seeing more of this kind of stuff. ‘The before and after’ and then maybe we wouldn’t have such a big problem with people feeling body conscious about themselves.
