    Hey are there any straight guys here, who can answer, does this lady look compelling? Her eyes look like she needs an epi-pen 5 minutes ago, her grimacing-smile looks like someone is holding Natalie Portman hostage, and those photoshopped hands look like she’s being operated by Jim Henson. I don’t get how we like this now.

      At least some of it is probably related to her medical condition and the treatment she’s received for it. Gomez has lupus.

      Ehhh… the makeup is significantly overdone for my personal tastes, but she’s not unattractive by any means. I think you’re being quite a bit too harsh on her smile. But it is a bit of an awkward picture generally, and it also isn’t one that’s really trying to present her as being as attractive possible. She had probably just been stuck doing the shoot for long enough for everything to start to feel forced and unnatural
