Cindy Crawford Gets An A For Effort

This photo from a Marie Claire shoot features a completely untouched image of 48 year old Cindy Crawford. It’s generating a chorus of applause from women pretending to champion the imperfection of the natural woman’s body. We’re now at the pendulum swing where you get credit for taking a bad photo. Blast some floodlights onto those wrinkles, now push your gut out and can we get a close-up on that ingrown hair? Is that eczema? Zoom in ! This photo wasn’t even supposed to go out. Somebody found it in the circular files. A far more flattering candid photo of Crawford taken by her husband got zero adulation. Why? There is a vocal minority of women who instead of looking at the empty Claim Jumper boxes piled up in their recycling bin or just admitting they didn’t hit the genetic lottery, push the theory that a chauvinist conspiracy has dictated the tastes of consumers around the world. Other way around, frumpy. I know you like it when models take bad photos, but they get paid to take good ones. Enjoy the novelty, it won’t last.
