I intend to in mine later. I recall a few years ago when Capital One fired an extraordinary % of people over 40.

Linda, I know of one instance in which an actress went balistic when GQ altered her image. Kate Winslet is renowned for being proud of her average sized, perfectly fit body. She was so outraged she went public with her Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668098318085667188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618351.post-62549603702855687392007-07-29T16:27:00.000-04:002007-07-29T16:27:00.000-04:00Thought provoking post, as always.

And, if a magazine printed an "as is" photo of a celeb, if the person was unhappy, would the mag have risked never getting another cover shot? Would Faith Hill have complained that her back fat bulge (such as it is!) looked unattractive?
