do you think they realize what they look like?

I’ll be the defender…

The middle one suffers from some kind of mental illness. Yeah, she’s to’ up from the flo’ up, but that’s what you get when you have a ton of money and a ton of neuroses.

Except for the scary sinewy arms and the dead eyes, Madonna doesn’t look too bad for a rock star. Not everyone can be a Tina Turner.

As as far as Courtney Love goes, she’s a victim of drug abuse and body dysmorphia. Don’t know why she can’t lay out in the sun for a few minutes, though. Maybe she’s a vampire? That explains all the red on her lips.

So, yeah. They’re hideous. But they’re doing the best they can.

Madonna’s personality makes her ugly anyway, but I’ve found her physically unattractive since the mid-90s or so. It’s not getting old or working out that’s doing it to her, it’s her face and overall Madonnaness

Jocelyn Wildenstein is mentally ill. Not going to make fun of that.

Courtney Love is probably mentally ill too.

I’d sue the living shit out of any contractor who did that to my house!

:eek:

See, I like Madonna’s muscles. She’s a bit odd, but I think she’s a really good-looking woman.

These might be debatable.

This picture of Madonna is from the same concert and I reckon she looks fantastic.

I think the first picture is mainly an unfortunate shot, though I do agree that society generally expects a “softer” appearance, especially from people Madonna’s age. From what I’ve read she goes to much more effort than I can fathom to keep her hardbody but count me as someone who loves the look.

The giant noses, lips, and chins. These are not the result of muscle development. These gals are taking hormones, juicing, and Og knows what other shit.

She is obviously in great shape, but sleeveless tops are not a good look for her any more. And she might want to dial back on the Eyes by Racoon ™.

Maybe the poster-maker was taking a shot at the weird top hat as well.

Of course it’s unkind. So what’s your point?

Seeing muscles on a woman, is kind of like seeing tits and hips on a guy. A little disconcerting, and for me, anyway, a total turnoff.

Being fit and toned is a completely different story, but don’t confuse muscle mass with being healthy.

As for the shot of Madonna in the OP, it’s not so much the sinewy muscles, as it is the sickly veins that creep around it. ::shivver::

Also, I don’t care who you are, this is funny.

Lost on you.

LOL, I thought it was that guy that used plastic surgery to make himself look like a cat. I was wondering where the long hair came from!

After reading your post I went back and looked. The first 4 pictures (and several others) all had Jay Leno chins. :eek:

That is retouched to hell, I think.

How is commenting on a person’s appearance automatically a value judgement or a case of mocking?

Yeah, if you say “From that photo, he/she’s obviously a child-molesting puppy kicker who won’t call Mom…”

But saying “She looks hideous” or “He looks like he’s on death’s door” are merely expressions of opinions. When I saw the second photo, my reaction was one of horror. I don’t need to know anything about the person or her life to say that the picture looks awful and wonder what the deal is. Knowing more about her life doesn’t change my opinion - I still think it’s a hideous photo.

And I never much liked Madonna anyway, so I don’t have any problem snerking at her picture.

But yeah, they’re all precious and special, just like everybody else… :rolleyes:

A few of them look fine to me. Others look like photoshopped Stretch Armstrong toys. The second-to-last one looks like she plans to eat your heart.

There are several sites comparing Madonna to the Crypt Keeper.

Nowif I were to make a guess, I would say that there’s more to her condition than doing a lot of pilates.

I find a few of them genuinely attractive. Muscles (and tattoos) on women used to bother me, but then I grew up and got over it.

Yeah, actually, they are all precious and special. Since you don’t have a problem with ‘expressions of opinions’ why don’t you post some photos of yourself and let us find an unflattering one to comment on. That would be perfectly fine, right? Or is it different because the others are celebrities?
