Cindy Crawford pic used to satisfy ‘personal agenda’

The image showed the 48-year-old Crawford looking sultry, but imperfect, in black lingerie, her bared stomach and thighs characterized by what appears to be some cellulite, wrinkles and sun damage. “Take a bow, Mrs. C,” White tweeted.

To many, this was a welcoming change from photos of the latest celebrity who’d gone the cosmetic surgery route. And yet, over the last year, when Hollywood stars like Renee Zellweger and Uma Thurman appeared in public with new faces, i.e., no makeup or more natural, the public has reacted with harsh judgment.

So it comes as a surprise that when photo of Crawford was shared all over social media, many people commended White for making it public and Crawford for having “the guts” to open herself up to such scrutiny.
