Strike a Pose*


.....The ever-changing Madonna is back yet again posing for Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter ad campaign. Photographed by Steven Meisel & super talented 'photo-shoppersss...' Oooh...YES, highly photo-shopped indeed...just take a look at her porcelain-wrinkle-free-flawless face...
~What do you think? ~XOXO*

  1. They are so extremely photoshopped that I kind of like them...she looks like a doll. I think it's a bit ridiculous though, she's beautiful as she is! kisses darling! XO

  2. THE most over the top photoshopping I've ever seen - Madge is barely recognisable !

  3. I don't think she ever looked like this! She's a whole new person (in ever-changing fashion).
    I wonder if this will spark a whole new level of PSing acceptance. What seems ridiculous now may one day be seen in retrospect as revolutionary.

  4. PS -- I'll be chuckling to myself all day about your handgun wielding chimp... "c...l...i...c...k"
    OK, I've left a comment, already!

    She's wearing the bunny ears again!!! :0 Those things she wore to the MET gala fashion thingy where she looked like the love child of Marie Antoinette and the Easter Bunny.
    But LOVE the extreme photoshopped pictures.

  7. I love these pictures and was staring at one of them on the back cover of one of my magazines last night. I love the bunny ears, the fake porcelain skin, the lighting, her outfit, the color of her lipstick. I am a huge Madonna fan and a huge Louis V. fan. Its just art and she always changes, she fascinates me.

    She looks so serene in these images. Such a nice change of pace from her normal ferocious face!

  13. I wish there was a Photoshop filter that I could wear in real life. I would look that awesome, too.

  14. It doesn't make me want to buy it but I can see where they are trying to go with it. I personally like the ones with the Coppolla family :)

  15. Haha the photoshoppers may have taken it a *tad* far. I actually really like them if I forget for a moment that it's Madonna.

  16. I think they shaved a good 15-20 years off...poses are a little lifeless but beautiful nonetheless.

  17. Madge looks fabulous but I would have chosen someone a bit "hipper" for this campaign... The bags are exquisite!

  20. I know it's high couture to do photographs this way but it becomes more of digital art instead of photography I think.

    I miss the 80's madonna! LOL

  21. Madonna is as old as my mom. And me, being in my early 20s, I am already getting my first wrinkles if I stay out in the sun too long... Kinda scary what photoshop can do. But the pictures are beautiful indeed. In a lifeless porcelain doll kind of way. :)

    In regards to your comment on LouDuk:

    I could not agree more!

    Thanks for stopping by!

  24. These pics are NICE! Very pleasing to the eye. But, then, I would've even loved them WITHOUT the Photo Shop magic!

    Madonna is one of my all-time faves, and I think she has a wonderful natural beauty about her face. Of course, I think the one thing that makes her the most attractive is her confidence!
    She has that in spades! And there will never be a need to Photo Shop over THAT...

  25. Stunning photos! Madonna is a rare beauty and talent, and I love that she continues to steal the limelight!

  27. she might as well be made of wax. fakery at its best! i wish this dude would photograph ME!

  28. I need all my pictures photoshopped like that from now on! :) The colors are beautiful though!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Meisel always had a knack for photographing her to the absolute best advantage. She still looks great in his photographic eye!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I too adore the colors, but She makes me YAWN. I'm bored to tears with her and I wish she would just go away for a few years or something. bahaha. Photoshop is insane...the possibilities...I must learn.

  31. She looks so cold. I love her music but lately she's been getting on my nerves. But I love those bags by LV. I really would love one. :)

  35. Madge and LV are perfect for each other. They have made her look so young and pretty.

  36. I think the ads are kind of beautiful. At least they're not trying to sell us skincare with 'em.
