Well having seen her in person when she was in Virginia, All I have to say is that she photographs well with makeup and good lighting.

Don't get me wrong. She is still a good looking lady, but I would not agree with some of the comments on the various boards about how uber hot she is.

Not me, I am one ugly dude.

Reminds me of something that happened back in the day. Around twenty years ago a friend was at a restaurant when Christy Brinkley was seated at the table next to his. When he told me about it he added "I don't know how to tell you this without scaring you, but...her pictures don't do her justice. She's way better in person!"

Some got it, some don't.

I promised her I'd never betray the trust she placed in me that eventful evening so recently.

I've done the photography thing...nowhere near as good at it as my more visually gifted sister, but I've done it...and this is absolutely correct.

You can, with a little makeup, the right light, the right developing, make nearly anyone take a really hot picture. That's how 'Glamour Shots' stays in business, after all. But some people? You can never get them to look as good on camera as they do in the flesh.

Brinkley is a great example, actually, since, if you look at her, while she's 'pretty', she's not 'stunning'. Buttt...there's that photo charisma that, if the guy taking the picture manages to capture a little of it, has a lot more pull than just plain looks.

Motion pictures have a big advantage here, but even they can never capture all of what some people have. Though, for fun, watch some of Brinkley's scenes in 'Vacation', then compare it to a still shot. She'll seem waaay foxier 'in motion'. With a lot of people, it's the exact opposite because they don't have the 'pull'.
