From football recruiters offering photoshopped magazine covers with Kim Kardashian to potential players, to Miley Cyrus’s “interesting” photoshop disaster this time last year — magazine photo shoots and computerized retouches are as American as apple pie. So leave it to a British television journalist to leak a photo of model Cindy Crawford before digital shenanigans were had:

According to E! Online, White’s photo leak is not fake. That’s actually Cindy Crawford, and it’s actually a photo from an old cover shoot:
“It is real and it is gorgeous,” says Marie Claire magazine, which had commissioned the photo shoot that it came from.
The magazine confirmed the photo’s existence and connection to Crawford, noting that it wasn’t taken anytime recently:
Marie Claire added that the pic was taken for a “December 2013 cover story from Marie Claire Mexico and Latin America,” adding, “It appears that this unretouched version is a leak.”
So basically, the internet’s getting excited about a re-post. Reddit would be proud. However, all jokes aside — good for you, Cindy. You go girl! (I’ve ALWAYS wanted to say that.)
