I read that it was a leak too, and the photo is not part of a future campaign. If she's honest in what she's expressed publicly, she can definitely make it work in her favor. I think she looks good, regardless.
She said in an interview for Marie Claire: "I really think at any age it's learning to be comfortable in your own skin. If women would treat themselves with the same kind of love they give to their friends, that would be such a great gift we could give ourselves. What makes you the most attractive is self-confidence. That's what people see."
I think a lot of people see more than confidence and can miss it altogether if they're only focused on physical details, but otherwise I agree with Crawford's sentiment.
Age and genetics have a big impact on physical appearance; that's not debatable. There's natural aging and then there's surgical and cosmetic enhancements, obsessively exercising and depriving oneself of nutrition to try to stay young and thin, etc... I don't have a problem with what other people choose to do. But the most I'll do is watch what I eat (splurging regularly), do a low calorie healthy cleanse a couple of weeks per year when my pants are getting too tight, and walk the steep hills around my house with light hand weights 4 or 5 times a week. I'm not willing to invest more time and focus in attempt to have what some would consider a better body. I'm certainly no Cindy Crawford (and, I like her mole!), but I'm fine with how I look and thankful to be in good health.
