Guest ursaminorjim Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 http://www.dlisted.com/node/36002 Tuesday, February 9th 2010 The Unretouched Vadge Pictures Keep Leaking A few weeks ago, an unphotoshopped picture of Vadge's "I'll get you my pretty" face terrorized the internet. And now we've got another one. Although, this one isn't going to make you want to hide your children under their beds. New York Magazine posted this before and after from Vadge's Louis Vuitton campaign. Even wonk-eyed Vienna Sausage from The Bachelor could clearly see that "after" picture has been covered with layers and layers of Photoshop. They erased the He-Man from her arms, replaced her current face with her True Blue face and then made it rain watercolors all over her. Personally, I prefer the "before" picture, because Vadge looks like your drunk stepmom after coming back from a costume party where she dressed as a bordello version of Donnie Darko. Vadge is impatiently waiting for you to get her a cup of Alka-Seltzer on the rocks with a splash of gin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSD Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I prefer the before. She looks like she's made of plastic in the retouched photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subhuman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I love Michael K And I actually saw the campaign image posted above in print. The colors look nice enough, but my God that shoot was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamesshot Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 That isn't airbrushing. It is a freakin cartoon. The after pic doesn't even look like an actual photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lymon Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The before picture looks better. The after picture is awful, i've always despised that shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt420 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 as if the "after" picture is supposed to be life like, its pretty clear its not. unless you are dumb as fuck. I never understood the big "stink" about this photoshoot. I mean DUH! I don't think she looks bad in the before picture either. In fact, for a 50 year old woman in an untouched photo she looks pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacho Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Weren't the effects to recreate some old very stylized photography by a major photographer from ages ago? What was it called and who was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think the effect is solarization. I don't know the reference to a photographer (is it Man Ray?) -- but they were also influenced by the paintings of Tamara de Lempicka. Madonna owns several of her paintings and you can see one of them in the opening sequence of the "Vogue" video. (I think the woman atop the "theater" in "Open Your Heart" is also based on a Tamara de Lempicka style.) The campaign images were meant to look stylized. The unretouched photos have several different color dresses and bows, and varying degrees of make-up heaviness. It's not my favorite shoot or campaign ever, but I don't get the loathing. I prefer the previous LV Parisienne one to this one easily -- and surely the Klein Dolce & Gabbana Italian cinema is classier -- but at the end of the day, it certainly doesn't warrant any hatred. (Well, any more than the second Versace campaign with Testino, which certainly didn't live up to the expectations created by the first one.) I just can't be bothered to get upset over it -- I mean, it doesn't hurt my life any and it barely took up much of Madonna's precious time, so I fail to see how it's worth getting all twisted over it (and still generating blog entries).

Guest bluejean Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I can't believe people involved in these shoots keep leaking these photos. It's so unprofessional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnox Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 who keeps leaking them and why? For money, or because they don't like her? I find it unbelievable that in this days and age with s many contracts that need to be signed before shoots like this, that they could be allowed to leak.

Guest Coked Up Baby Boy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 @ the leak OUTRAGE. They're pics folks, we all know she's 50, no one cares when they see a pic of her looking un-airbrushed. Just because a contract is signed doesn't mean the untouched photos are locked away underground for all eternity, never to see the light of day again for the rest of Earths existence I'm glad they leaked, i love her old puffy face. I wish she'd embrace her age a little more, she still looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddysMuff Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 She's gorg. To look like that at her age.. oml. She's a fucking beauty. As for getting a tummy tuck... you kinda suck, Suedehead. Might've tried to come across as funny, but you FLOPPED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples388 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I wasn't saying it to be funny - but then I suppose you're far too dim to really know the difference. My point was that since she clearly is OK with going under the knife and having those horrendous new cheeks, then really a discreet tummy tuck shouldn't be such a big issue for her.
