true I did select the best current Roseanne picture I could find, but as for the Madonna picture, that is the best current photo that exists of her, simply what she looks like now.
her instagram is pretty recent stuff and you can see the similarity to the photo you used but more flattering I think. https://www.instagram.com/madonna/
Whoa her self-curated photos are much more flattering than the candid shots the media keeps capturing 🤔
yes. thus my flattering vs unflattering comment. its a best of this person vs worst of this person. paparazzi are known for getting the most unflatering thing they can get. here is an unflattering of rosanne https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.9sycqP26-qlbyK5E4UMPyQHaE_%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=080cdf0e155de1bfe8e4ac255684a560d210d80d146ed58a7c76900237c9b690&ipo=images
She still looks better than Madonna, which I never thought I'd say.
yeah but again they did not use the equivalent with the roseane picture. my comment (the first one, way at the start of the chain) was not about what was best but just at the disparity between the two types of pictures
She's essentially a professional model, of course posed studio shots look better than whatever random shit a paparazzi snaps.
But it's Instagram. Everyone's more flattering there.

Those have a shit ton of filters and special lighting on them.
