holy crap she looks her age no matter how many proceedures she's had.

And Jesus has dumped her. Shame.

My book group is all 50 yrs plus I am the youngest at 44.They all look amazing compared to madonna and no surgery or young boyfriends!She does look ok though but she has had a lot done and should get her £ back

V. good example of why long hair is so aging beyond a certain age. I think with a more flattering haircut she'd look pretty good. The dollybird hair just serves to emphasise how old she really is.

Most of my friends are 45+.

She doesn't look any better than any of us, seriously.

I think we have got skewed ideas of what a normal 50 year old without any surgery looks like. Honestly, its not that bad! Especially if you are not too thin.

Amen bibbity x

Phwoar at Jesus. Was Madonna in the picture then?

morningpaper · 04/02/2010 19:38

Can anyone find a picture that's not been touched up

For research purposes

Disenchanted3 · 04/02/2010 19:41

Disenchanted3 · 04/02/2010 19:42

no no no

it is not HER airbrushing I am interested in

cocolepew · 04/02/2010 19:46

Yes she looks OK and like a fifty year old in those photos (if you squint),but it shows how much air brushing goes on. Her surgery was in vain IMO.

My friend photoshopped her passport photo, how she got through passport control I'll never know

LadyThompson · 04/02/2010 19:48

I think she looks great for 50. And I have high standards

BariatricBob · 04/02/2010 19:49

agree about the hair anyone else thinking Blanche DuBois?

bibbitybobbityhat · 04/02/2010 19:51

When I opened this thread I thought we were going to see the picture of her with the full-on fluffy bush and all the under 30s were going to squeal eeeeewwwwww and nooooooooo and urrrrgggghhhhh again.

BariatricBob · 04/02/2010 19:53

oh i loved the basil brush

cocolepew · 04/02/2010 19:53

jesus, just got the whole jesus madonna parallell

lljkk · 04/02/2010 19:59

You can tell she's under artifical lights which makes everyone look crap without heaps of makeup. That's why Tony Blair started wearing make-up for TV interviews; he looked washed out and deathly without it, was worth the media criticisms he got.

SpringHeeledJack · 04/02/2010 20:01

ah, love her, she looks great

I am 43 and I look much worser

(I'm the one on the bottom)

TwoIfBySea · 04/02/2010 20:10

Jesus indeed.

Are they recasting for the Cryptkeeper?

Fair enough she is 52 but I suppose looking that haggard comes with keeping yourself ultra skinny. There are plenty of women of that age who look a hell of a lot better without the processed cheese look.

Bleatblurt · 04/02/2010 20:15

My mum is 50 and looks much better than that!

noddyholder · 04/02/2010 20:15

He is gorge and has already dumped her!

Bleatblurt · 04/02/2010 20:16

Though my dad looks nowt like Jesus. My mum wishes!

bibbitybobbityhat · 04/02/2010 20:17

Of course I can't be sure when this picture was taken but this lady is going to be 50 this year.
