That's just not right ...
Newsweek have a 'Diana at 50' cover, with a digitally aged Diana:
It's not just me, she totally looks like a Zombie, yes?
Let this be a lesson to all of you to always wear a seatbelt, lest the media forever ignore both your many good works and all semblance of good taste when it comes to considering your family's feelings in favour of a 'cover with impact'.
(And don't hang out with Tina Brown if you ever plan to be the least bit famous, she will revivify any fleeting connection far beyond the point when any trashy 50s' horror flick voodoo priestess would be ashamed!)

Still, it's better than what they did to Draco in the Epilogue. Blerg.

Just ... NO!
But in a more personal note, if I look like that in four years, please shoot me? Ok, skinny is fine, but the rest of it? Honestly, I won't want to live.

No really. That woman. I just can't even.
Sigh.
Sighs again, more deeply and with greater despair.
And really, could they not have aged up a picture of Diana that doesn't make her look like Jerri Blank from Strangers with Candy? (Although Amy Sedaris, how I heart you.)

She looks like she always did to me? I even put on my awful glasses! Meep????
But hey, she is still the ONLY royal that I never hear bad stuff about and lots of good stuff.

Also.
HATE the photoshop work. It's uncanny valley of the living dead.
But I do love the fact that the company credited at Newsweek for this atrocity in photoshopping is called R. Mutt Studios, after, I assume, Duchamp's Fountain.
Being the namesake of a urinal suits them.

that is horrid on so many levels.

Also, this is soooooo innapropriate.

I now have 'Zombie Diana' in my head, to the tune of 'Dirty Diana'.

the rest of the American press are blasting Newsweek/Tina Brown and I'm hoping people don't buy it or advertisers give NW a hard time, although sadly all the negative hype will probably translate into sales... sigh - it seems as if she's fused British tabloid journalism into what used to be a repetutable news magazine.

...and it's just as bad as I thought. Ugh. So disrespectful and in extremely poor taste all around:(
Tina Brown's references to knowing Diana sort of remind me of that book by a psychic that Diana consulted. I can't recall the author or title now, but IMO the woman was trying to make money by trading in on their acquaintance. So tacky.

Yes, it looks like they just dug her up. Poor Di! I like Kate's game expression, though.
