Is there a single photograph in existence that does not make the woman look weird?

PP

Like she has been smacked in the gob by an invisible hand.

As I said to my dear mother yesterday...

"That woman would have been burned at the stake in the olden days"

Have just heard her described by someone as looking like the alien robots in the Cadbury's Smash adverts!

"They peel them with their metal knives"
"Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah"

Anyone watch 2D-TV tonight?

Isn't this all rather ungallant?

gallantry?
why - that face on the front pages gave me nightmares all last week

She cant help the way she looks!

Are you an oil painting?

She can help the way she applies her make-up though, I would imagine. Or is that left to her Guru as well? She is one scary looking woman, and I for one wouldn't want to cross her, either in a dark alley or a Court of Law.

If she took a good long look in the mirror, she would probably realise that green shiny eye shadow in vast quantities does *not* suit her- and a mouth like that shouldn't be highlighted with bright lip stick.

If she stuck to medium powder and dark lipstick, she would merely look alarming, rather than like the daughter of The Joker and Bride of Frankenstein.

I'm no Mona Lisa, but then I don't go on the front pages

Mona Lisa has a strange smile, reminiscent of an Orang-Utan idly pondering its fleas... You perhaps ought to be happy that you don't resemble her (plus she has no body).

If you mean Monalisa Vito from 'My Cousin Vinny', then that's a different kettle of fish...

I feel quite sorry for her, she doesn't look nearly so bad on the tv, its only still images that tranform her into such an alarmingly looking person.

I was watching Graham Norton the other night and he said she is actually the most unphotogenic person on the planet. In the flesh (he said) she looks quite normal .

Anyone here seen her up close and personal to validate this?

That has to be a lie.

She's hideous.

Although I'm not the most photgenic of people...I'm not that bad...small children don't cry when they see me.

She doesn't look so awful on video- I suspect that due to her rep. of being disturbing looking, editors pick terrible shots of her on purpose. I wouldn't describe her as *ugly* as such, more... inhuman looking. Even on video that mouth and neck look wrong- has she had a cocked-up face lift or something?

The Evening Standard (a rag distributed in London) chose a superb picture of Bob Crow - chairman of the RMT - the big London Underground drivers union. He was dressed in his Milwall football kit and snearing. It really did some up the evil git that he is.

I was watching the news last Friday and Bob Crow was a guest - I didn't recognise him at all.

Liam.

I didn't use the term ugly. Not as such. And who says that "weird" is a perjorative term?

I don't think she's ugly... just different looking. I do agree that the press use photography (and indeed facts) to offer their own distorted view of things - would you find the cruddy pics of Cherie in the Graudian as you would in the Mail for instance? On the whole I think not.

The one thing that I do find disquieting however, is the shape of her mouth - I know that she can't help her features (none of us can) but isn't it a bit unusual to have a square sided mouth? Sadly when she opens it, rimmed with red lippy, it looks like a letterbox
