Yeah, those covers also give me shivers..
That, AND MOON Jacket B, oh god... So, this picture of her is not bad at all.

^I was just thinking about that cover :roflmao
I prefer this photo than that cover.

She looks pretty and in my opinion the only thing that's bad about it is the contacts.
She should have worn a tad darker shade or none at all.

I don't see what's wrong with this photo... roots? she's a human and that's not a photosession. flash? correct brightness/contrast on your monitor. It's not WHAT bad

Am I not allowed to have opinion about your opinion than? %)

I don't think it's THAT bad.

It's certainly not good though. And personally, I'm kinda tired of the photoshop on her off-shots and twitter photos. I know that's kinda stupid, but whatever.

It's not that important anyway.

THIS ^

basically thats where 'plastic' image came from. you can google ayu pictures from now till the end of time you won't find untouched pic of her if its not from age when dinosaurs were walking and that doesnt count.

I really don't care that much about this photo.

Hopefully they are for something new, bored of having nothing new tbh.

:roflmao

In less than a minute I've found the following

u guys are such drama queens, i can't..

I really needed to add 'and no heavy make-up' ?

if thats natural ...

Well yeah, I got that, I obviously can live with that considering Im stanning for her nonetheless but that doesnt mean I cant speak the truth.

and truth is she doesnt need all that, at least not in every single picture

You can see her looking like a 40 years old woman without make up and awake for 2 months awake on any behind-the-camera material to the tours... :P

i don't even think she looks bad or old unretouched or without make-up/minimal make-up like a lot of people claim. she's lucky she still looks the way she does at her age with her schedule, and a lot of you will be lucky if you look half as good as her when you reach her age.

but anyway yeah, that photoshop is bad. :P

LOL for real.

It's like people are a broken record around here: "too much photoshop," "she looks plastic," "why can't her photoshoots look natural."

I mean if you haven't gotten use to it by now... :innocent

I never liked that picture with Ayu and Mannie. He looks like a complete weirdo...

When you reach her age? The woman turns 34 this year, I wouldn't consider this old at all... But anyway, when I showed last years CDL to friends they couldn't believe Ayu is 33 years old at all. They thought she would be 26 or 27 or so.

it constantly goes on with ayu being old lol and I always wonder how madonna fans feel then lol. 30s are new 20s

I'm so glad she got rid of that awful hair up there.

Leslie's shots just make me angrier and angrier every time I see them. :/

The close up is definitely photoshop magic (it's from that limited Asia Tour Book, if I recall it correctly) and the second one is a picture of an A BEST 2/Asia Tour 2007 promotion/conference meeting, so no-one really possesses any evidence on what they did with that photo before they made it public.
