Um, people her age don't generally wear things like the January/February picture. That one really stands out to me as someone who wants to look younger. That outfit doesn't really fit her anyways and that angle is really unflattering. lol The clothes aren't really as important as the hair and makeup imo though. Who in their 30s really wears hair as huge, unnatural, and teased as that May/June picture? @_@ Some women do have big, curly hair, but when they're in their 30s, they don't wear it with huge, square bangs and half of it in a ponytail sticking off the side of their heads. Makeup is really the area where it looks like she's trying to look younger, because she's always wearing makeup to make it look like she has big, pouty lips (which generally you associate with younger people, like children, or older people who try to surgically enhance their features). Plus look how plastic she looks on the cover with a totally frozen face and gold contacts, as if she's terrified of looking human or having any sort of wrinkles.

Mind you, not ALL of the pictures look like she's trying to look younger. March/April is really awesome and mature and November/December is very... Oprah. But the cover with the dead eyes, January/February with that wig that doesn't fit her head and that outift no one over 22 would wear, May/June with the huge, teased hair that no one her age would ever wear, July/August with the short, almost childlike hair and outfit that resembles a tutu, September/October with the incredibly obvious wig... Yeah, sorry, but I am pretty convinced she's trying to look younger than she is and it's making her look a lot older. Because at some point in the past few years (2008? 2009?), she suddenly switched from looking five years younger than she really is to about ten years older to me. And that's not ALL because of her styling and makeup, because she does look a lot older in Twitter pictures and fan pictures to me, too.

@jbrat2219: No, young people don't wear those clothes, but no one her age would wear the outfits in Jan/Feb, May/June, or July/Aug either.
