what did people do before airbrushing?

Touch-ups & airbrushing have basically always existed. They just used manual paint instead.

Also, black & white helps obscure minor imperfections. They also knew how to light a damn photograph.

put some clothes on, it aint selling her album, why is she whoring herself on every magazine cover when it's not working. I think her idea of releasing an 'excerise dvd" is great idea, it's what she seems to be the only thing this generation seem interested in when it comes to her. her career seems to following that of Paula Abdul when hers started to fade. I can see Jan been a tv star and modern day Jane Fonda, they seem to be her strengths, it sure aint singing (anyone see billboard awards show , I just caught it recently, i know every singer as they age loses a bit of their range and what not, but she didnt have much to start with but she at least sounded ok when she did sing live back in the day)

but its ok for your to talk shit about stuff you dont like? whats the difference?
I predicted this would happen, people dont hate her, that just dont care anymore. no one is interested in her music or her.

photoshop gone bad.

Her face is getting too skinny so all the surgery is showin'


BUT I'm trying to look like her at 40 (1 year and 30 days away)


if anyone wants to pay for my surgery....big up my paypal account.

on word...airbrush.

No lie - the first words out of my mouth upon seeing this pic: "DAMN!!!"



They just made her head look SO BIG Probably the lens & the angle

Did she approve this shit?? Was she high? Was Jermaine up in dat ass or somethin'? 'Cause she was NOT paying attention when she saw this shit

It's an awkward pose, and they photoshopped the hell out of her, so the whole thing just looks clammy. I like Janet and all, but I always get the impression she's really insecure about herself when I see these kinds of photos of her. On one hand she's flashing alot of skin, but on the other hand she seems really uncomfortable doing it.

i think she looks cute..... but she shouldnt be posing like that.... why did she do this whenshe was younger... now she wants to take off all her clothes when NO one wants to see it...

SHe should have had her hair out, and posed in a way that didnt make her neck collar bone cave in..... janet needs to gain some weight... because it is showing in her face and collar....

I have the same thing with my collar bone (it caves in).... when i sit or position myself in a certain way....


Also if janet thinks her body is so cute... and sexy... why is she covering herself with her arms.... why would she feel insecure.. and take a picture where she is half naked...

shut it.

She looks like an extremely skinny Oprah with a nose job in this picture.

p.s. - she needs to put on some clothes and stop using whatever lotion she using to make her look bronze instead of just brown.

Maybe we're just uncomfortable looking.

the face, the body, the hair, the outfit, the pose.... why?

PricelessHo said:

my thoughts exactly!

They take Janet, who is pretty to begin with, and make her look like a mutant!
Why??

not her best photo she looks good just a bit like her ms,doubtfire mask is a lil tight.shes had the same image past 3 albums last time she swtiched it up was her on her EMO album - velvet rope -

time to change it up, honey bunches of oats!

Tom said:

The interesting thing you pointed out was about her flashing a lot of skin: you know Bazaar usually has no problem with making the 35-45 ish set of starlets their cover girls, but what I noticed here is that Janet is one of the only ones in her age bracket that's donning the naked look...they usually don't go there for younger starlets (minus the naked pregnant Britney thing) let alone older ones...and they usually have them in something coutoure-ish and evening wear-ish...I wonder what gave this time around for them to make the decisions they did...this looks like something that should have been a cover for SELF (in different lighting)...not BAZAAR
