Cindy Crawford Unretouched Image

Dorothy: You know when you’re twenty no matter what you do everything stays where its supposed to. Now when you lean over it looks like somebody’s let the air out of your face.

Blanche: What?

Dorothy: Honey, lean over a mirror sometime and take a look at yourself.

Blanche: Where’s a mirror?

Sophia: There’s one in the tool drawer.

Dorothy: I think you better take a sedative before you look.

Blanche: Don’t be silly, I look at my face all the time. How different could it be leanin’ over. [leaning over and looking into the mirror] Oh my God!! Oh my God, Dorothy why didn’t you tell me about this before?!!

Dorothy: Only on your back Blanche. That way everything slides back and you look like you just had a facelift.

Blanche: [leaning back and looking in the mirror] Oh you’re right, I’m gorgeous. I’m gonna have to meet men lying down.

Sophia: I thought you did.

Dorothy: Of course that way not only does your face fall back but your chest does too. Unfortunately it falls back and off to the side.

I appreciate GG much more now than I did when I was a teenager. Plus, it's a great insomnia cure.

He gets deleted a lot.

Ah, so he's a frequent flier.

From what I have read, this photo was leaked. Ms. Crawford did not put it out there.

I am sure we have all taken a bad picture in our lives. Unflattering lighting, poor posture, an awkward angle can combine to create an image that even photoshop can't fix. I am sure that for every profile selfie most of us have posted, there are several other pics we've discarded because they weren't good enough to share. This was simply one of those photos from the reject pile.

Which is not to say Cindy looks bad. She's a genetically blessed woman who has taken good care of herself over the years. I think it is sad that our culture expects women in their 40s and 50s to look exactly as they did in their 20s. Should I be sad that my boobs aren't as perky as they were back in college…or proud that they nourished three boys for more than a year of their lives? Should I let the loose wrinkly skin on my tummy get me down, or be amazed that my body was able to carry three healthy babies? Should I be upset about the smile lines on my face or the crinkles around my eyes, or simply remember the joys that etched these lines in the first place?
