well, the leopard outfit is from 1999 or 2000 (?) and the silver dress is from the latest Kouhaku.... I think

Not that I mind

The multiple shots of her on those two pages reminds me of 2005 bea's UP photoshoot.

Cover: I like how Ayumi is not taking up the whole cover... there's a lot of space on the left. It's a nice change. The hair and the face are good. The earrings are bordering on tacky, but the dress looks like a bowl of plastic fruits. The bold pink text does not go with the dress. But at least the pose is fierce, so it's not all bad.
12: I like the interesting concept for the A. If you look closely you can find so many great pictures from back in the day. Buut... what's up with the background color? Not feeling it.
13: If you really think about it, it looks like Ayumi is naked on this picture. It's not that obvious, thankfully. Ayumi looks pretty. I also like the way her hair is. The extensions come off as a little unnatural at the left side of the picture, but all-in-all it's a nice photo.
14: I love it when magazines blend pictures together, but this is a little pointless, seeing how little one picture is on top of the other. I first looked at this picture and thought of glamour, but wait. She's actually channeling a cavewoman. The left picture works, but the right one.. not so much. The boots are of extraordinary ugliness, I'm sorry to say.
15: I guess the cavewoman stumbled across some fashion magazines and wants to do the latest trendy poses, huh? Okay.. the left pose is fine, but the face is a little overdone. And when I say a little, I mean a lot. The right picture is the better one of the two, but the way her wrists and hands disappear isn't that cool.
16: Well that was unexpected. o_o I love huge dresses on Ayumi, I think she pulls them off each and every time and this picture is a nice change, seeing how it's nowhere near Kouhaku-time. Is it me or has Ayumi's nose developed a bump? Or has every other picture of her been retouched in the past? I look at my Secret poster and there's no such bump in sight.
17: Now that's more like it. This photo is a good one. The dress, the pose, the face, they all work.
18: If the last dress looked exactly like JEWEL's, this one is exactly like Together When...'s. That's weird... or maybe it isn't, I don't know. Back to the picture. The pose works this time. It's a pose that's suited for glamour, not something else, so I'm glad they chose to print this picture. The quotes seem interesting, if only I could understand them.

The Deji Deji diary has some nice shots, though it's sad that they included a picture where her assistant is holding something on her left ear to keep the cold from getting in.

Haha, I think I outdid myself with the pic reviews this time.

I love the one with the short dress and boots

Thanks
