Whether this is ethical, moral or polically correct is neither here no there. The main aim of most celebs seems to be that they make money. Frankly they have all done well in this respect. It's true that for some of us Guardian reading women this is lowering and doesn't quite match with anything we feel to be morally right.

Considering her other options, she might just want to concentrate on other areas. Second, Elizabeth Hurley as an example of what modern culture does to women. The expectation probably for the last thirty years, if not longer, is that if you are extremely attractive and female, you don't have to develop your brains -- that your beauty is what you have "to sell". Additionally, if you want to rise in business and you are female, you'd better be very attractive because brains and skills are not enough. For all of the "women's movement" for the past fifty years, it seems that women really have not come all that far, that no matter how smart, how skilled, how clever, etc. a woman is...what matters in the end(and, to have a 43 year old woman, who has other business interests, continue to have her picture taken in bikinis..I think is an illustration of this fact)is how youthful she looks, how attractive she looks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-53346437953131618462008-04-21T14:03:00.000+01:002008-04-21T14:03:00.000+01:00Geri, my father used to say to me that I could hav...Geri, my father used to say to me that I could have anything in the world if I really wanted it enough.

I manage a trade publication. Our last issue, we featured a very prominent Caucasian female CEO on our cover. We did not retouch her photos (although her skin was a bit rosier than I'd like the shots to be, and there was a slight sheen to her skin, I felt she had enough confidence and grace in her pose, her trademark blond curls and immaculate blue eyes speak for themselves). The CEO approved the shots herself.<BR/><BR/>A week after publication, we received an e-mail from a lady in Singapore who complained to us we "disgraced" the CEO, and the CEO "appears greasy and unfinished" and she went on to doubt our "professionalism".Gihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995558259304166651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-35995751146639922792008-04-21T13:17:00.000+01:002008-04-21T13:17:00.000+01:00Now there's a lady who's dress sense seems to incl...Now there's a lady who's dress sense seems to include a fine cloak of denial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-31694356165272241042008-04-21T12:51:00.000+01:002008-04-21T12:51:00.000+01:00Nobody can have a body like that in real life, sur...Nobody can have a body like that in real life, surely!
