The pretzel. With no lines, no inconvenient bulges, wrinkles, or crinkles. She's s 44. But Photoshop don't care.
“How she stays this hot at 44?”
Let me let you in to the secret, oh gullible readers of SHAPE.
First, she is born with a certain predisposition.
Second, she has the focus and money to prioritise her weight, her looks and her diet.
Thirdly, she DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS.
She is lit, retouch…
…oh you know the drill.
And yet, and yet and still somehow, smart as we are, believe there is a magic elixir, contained within these pages.
As promised.
There isn’t.
The secret is in the Photoshopping of the coverstar.
And that is afforded by the price you pay by buying into the coverlies.
(I have always tried not to write coverlies, btw.)
The end.
Sans fards and sans retouching, after the jump

She’s still gorgeous Sans Photoshop.
The sad thing is, she is still pretty hot for 44. but she’s not the person on the cover of Shape.
I’m far more disturbed by the crotch view the photographer must have been getting during the shoot! Eew. I’m sure he would have gone to med school if he wanted to be a gynae.
What disturbs me is the level of vanity required for the star to sign off on something like this. Surely she must have seen the cover and agreed to it being published like this?
