Cindy Crawford lingerie image stirs debate over what 'real women' look like

(CNN)An apparent image of 48-year-old Cindy Crawford in lingerie is stirring discussion about what "real" women look like -- but not for reasons you might expect.

The practice of photo retouching in fashion publications renders most models completely free of blemishes or imperfections to the point of being unrealistic. But this photo of Crawford baring her sun-kissed torso is drawing praise for showing her in a realistic light.

The image of murky origins spread through social media on Friday after British ITV News anchor Charlene White shared it on Twitter, attributing it to Marie Claire magazine. The American version of Marie Claire, a joint venture between Hearst Magazines and French-based Marie Claire Album, called the image real, honest and gorgeous, but denied any connection to the photo.

Still 99.9 % more beautiful than most 20 and 30 year olds. Yes, this is the body of a 48 year old woman. She looks great.

Many people are chiming-in on this photo, posting about "how beautiful" the photo is.
Sorry folks... That body is ugly. C'mon... admit it!
I know, I know...Everybody wants to talk about inner beauty and all that crap. Most of that comes from ugly girls.
Every day - every morning - I look at flab and stretch marks laying next to me. Is it beautiful? Hell no. Do I tell her it is? Hell yes!
Keep re-touching the photos of those women that a guy like me would never have a snowball's chance in hell to be with in his lifetime.
We need the fantasy.

11:18 - you go ahead and keep living in your fantasy land, you are the disgusting one. I'm glad she did this, some of you need a reality check once in a while.

I would rather see the retouched photo any day. Call me shallow but I can go home and see the untouched stuff every day.
