Looking slightly less than glam

At last!  A picture of Elle McPherson where she doesn't look stunning and perhaps her mission to make us fortysomethings feel really bad about ourselves, is finally over.  Although I am in my forties and have a rather painful problem with my right foot, luckily for me, nothing is visible, unlike the lump that has appeared on the top of Elle's foot!  It looks like a misplaced Bunion to me!  Actually it could be a Ganglion, I had one on the top of my hand when I was quite young, I remember the Doctor saying I should get someone to bash my hand with a Bible!  yeah like I had one!  or any large book will do apparently, you bash them then they disappear!  Judging by the size of her lump, an edition of War & Peace may be in order!  Ganglions usually appear near the wrist joints or on top of the foot, so looks like she may have one afterall and sadly they have nothing to do with age, oh well!

  1. Funny I think that she looks nicer in this photo than when she is "Glammed up" ... that is of course apart from the Ganglion, maybe she is "trying to get a-head on advertising"....( Do you remember the film?)xx

  2. Ooh I had a ganglion on my foot once and yes, someone told me to hit it with a large book - so any book will do, doesn't have to be the Bible. It has no special ganglion-squashing powers!

  3. That is a strange old lump she's got there.

  4. Haha I love that you just wrote that:) Poor Elle, she looks quite fab in general though, that ganglion could be an optical illusion?:) lets hope not. Lets hope she's human!

  6. She is really beautiful. I had the privilege of standing next to her waiting for the elevator at the Four Seasons Hotel - during the Toronto Film festival a few years ago - and she was AU NATURAL - and looking just as Fab! HHL

  9. Argh don't remind me of ganglions. I'm still trying to recover from the fact I had one! A pearl one. Elle hit it with a book.

  11. LOL... if you didn't point out that bump... I would say she looks great... but now I will have to rethink that thought... LOL

  12. She does look great - even with a ganglion.

    I had one on my wrist that my father used to gleefully batter with a family bible (you know one of those massive 2' x 1' things?) on a regular basis (at my request, I hasten to add!).

    Eventually I gave up and just got it removed under anaesthetic!

  13. She looks wonderful in this photo. Relaxed chic.
    As for that thingy on her foot - we all have imperfect bits and pieces. Enjoy the weekend;-)

  14. Well it's good that we tell to ourselves that nobody is perfect.
