Looks like a case of “rode hard and put away wet.”

[Eaker]

I can see why!

Hell, humblegunner looks better than that!

[autumnraine]

And just think, that is only 15 years ago or so.

[Irenic]

I think she looks just woke?/hung-over?/crying? (puffy eyes) in that picture and that it must be cold.

She has on too much foundation with powder.

I find powder over base in the winter just brings out lines and looks far worse than no foundation and powder.

The older I get, the less I use of powder...I’ll take the sheen over the powder finding my every wrinkle and crease =P

[Lazamataz]

It’s kinda weird, but she has a very PLAIN beauty. She’s cute in those pics, but you can see she wasn’t going to age well. You need features beyond bland for that.

[BunnySlippers]

Looks like BIG Botox problems.

[BunnySlippers]

And the “layers” are a few strands of hair that are pulled across her forehead.

[A_perfect_lady]

Wow. I have actually been contemplating botox... I'm 44... I know it's stupid, but I live in West Hollywood and there are literally places I could walk to and have it done. I don't like the little "eleven" that I see between my eyebrows in certain lights.

But if that's what it does to the eyes, that swollen-inner-corner look.... never mind! I'll just grow old quietly.

[windcliff]

She starting to look like that cat woman.

[Ratman83]

That is not the Laz I remember on these treads.

[NEMDF]

Laz: I am astounded. I am not sure I have ever heard you say you might pass on most anything short of Helen Thomas.

[Christian_Capitalist]

I question whether I would hit that.

(Holds glass laboratory slide over Carla's rigid, unmoving lips...)
(...it fogs over.)

You'd hit it.

[autumnraine]

LMAO!!

[Christian_Capitalist]

Glad to be of service. ;-)

Carla is only 42. She is too young to have that Botox and filler in her face. Carla should stick to a more natural,healthy look. We all get older. It is not a crime. Sarko is caught in the middle of a political battle to keep France on the Right track.N.B. Middle picture is of Carla 15 years ago in 1995.

[Cincinna]

I might add that her hairstyle is very inappropriate and makes her look even more goulish.

[jla]

Is that first image for real?

[xJones]

Laz: I am astounded. I am not sure I have ever heard you say you might pass on most anything short of Helen Thomas.

Are you kidding? Laz would hit on anything outside of a funeral home - or at least before embalming.

Thanks for the ping. WHOA! I don’t know what’s more shocking...the pic of Carla...or Laz’s comment :).
