    She is really pretty in her off season picture but the one in the dress just looks bad.

    Lets go all beastmode in a dress with dark makeup and try and make it look pretty. I dont think it works. It does just look manly.

    I love her body! I think it is great that MAC does things like this. Beauty is in everyone, everyone is different and that's beautiful. As for the dress, I think it is smoking! If I had the body I would wear that *kitten* every night ;) hahah

    A year ago (or so), Covergirl did an ad with boxer Mary Spencer. It was equally gorgeous and strong. I love the way cosmetics companies are redefining and expanding what we think is beautiful.

    I read an article about the ad, she was 2 or 3 months out from competition.

    I love the ad, love how she looks but am bot a fan of the dress. But no idea what I'd prefer her in.

    She is definitely my "goal look" and I love MAC makeup, it's all I wear now.

    I like it. I think it's beautiful and cool. I also just look at fashion photos and ads as art and not for whether or not I would wear the clothing, as that is usually not the intention (unless it is an advertisement for clothing). But, I do think the dress might look better without the ruffle. I don't mind the rubbery, shiny look. Although it does kind of look like a trash bag, which is kind of interesting.

    She's absolutely stunning. I'm going to be a contrarian and say that I like the dress, if I had her body I would totally wear it.

    If I had her body, I'd spend as much time as possible wearing nothing.

    she's pretty and that's great they use her since she's not the typical model but unfortunately i think mac makes anyone look like a drag queen :laugh:

    many people simply dont need that much pigmentation in their makeup and they end up looking overdone and costumey which just tends to scream "i'm a man in drag, honey" !

    i like the dress though

    i prefer makeup4ever, nars and urban decay but that's just me.

    They do tend to make the makeup very dramatic, but the point of this post was the first part of your statement here.

    It's nice seeing glamorization of women who don't fit the "model" mold especially fit athletic women. Most magazines the feature athletic women tend to "soften" them up as in the second photo in the original post. Rarely do you see a female athlete glamorized for her musculature.

    (Trying to steer back to the topic.)
