I don’t make it to Instagram very often, but on the weekends I usually have time for a quick scan of my …whatever you call the part where all the people you follows posts are shown. I keep meaning to unfollow some people who I’m no longer interested in, but never really do. I just do a quick scan to see if anything interesting and post-worthy sticks out.
Today I saw the photo of Sonja when was scanning posts. I probably scrolled past it several times and had no idea who it was.
Then someone sent me one of those “Have you seen this? It’s Sonja in Paper Magazine!”
She’s literally unrecognizable.
Thoughts?
Photoshopped to the max
She looks like she’s lost a ton of weight, plus her hair is longer, and photoshop. It’s so weird when the housewives post pictures where they look almost unrecognizable and then you see them on the show and they look basically the same lol
Fake
Desperation, sadly.
Weight loss, plastic surgery face and middle, tanning procedure, body contouring makeup, some sort of hair straightening, professional photoshop.
By “tanning procedure” …do you mean a spray tan?
Maybe that’s what happened to Trump, he attempted a Russian tanning procedure and instead ended up with orange liver spots.
Fabulous. Good for her.
Certainly shows versatility. But I always liked her the way she was. Have a feeling this new look would not be so good up close – but certainly is an interesting editorial approach. .
She looks like Kim Richards!!
LOL. She does look like Kim from a distance. No offense to Sonja.
Or Kim!
Exactly what I thought. She looks just Kim Richards in this picture.
In this photo, Sonja has the Hollywood plastic surgery clone look. I like the original Sonja. How can someone put themselves under this kind of pressure to look like a stick thin android? Why can’t everyone just be natural? And age naturally for that matter? And still be liked and loved? It all started to get way too much, across the board, years ago. But imo this photo is extreme. Someone please make it stop!
Yes. On an inevitable losing slide, if you were to take saving looks from aging seriously. Makes me tired to think about it. Better to safeguard health and fitness. Over 50 we are all just one bad fall away from an injury which can be life changing.
I’ve a different point of view, life began again at 50 for me. Minas a few bad years (depression) recently I’ve looked good and got healthier after 55.
I can be careful when Im dead.
Sonya looks marvelous, she has always been thin.
Most of what I see is a great a makeup person, lighting and awesome photographer.
Good for you Calpatti! I understand. But I had that fall. 3 joint replacements and bad back later I take things one day at a time – and frankly don’t care much what I look like. Probably don’t look much different than before, but it is no longer a priority. However, I so value keeping my health, strength and fitness up and spend most of my money on that. My husband is great and, after his own accidental fall, totally agrees with me. We sometimes look in the mirror together and have a good laugh about it all.
Good for you for staying healthy, for me (5 days a week) fast walking and then hiking has really helped with fitness.
I unsmderstanf about looks but they do matter on making you feel good.
Welcome back Calipatti!
Yes, I used to do exactly that too and was super-fit – till I fell very,very badly, going at speed on a walk, when I was about 50. (something virtually invisible was sticking out of the ground). I keep building up again and then another bit goes from time to time – this year tore an ACL. When these things happen it really makes you value your health above all else. Very frustrating! Takes ages to heal compared with when younger. There are not many non-fit older people in the retirement village where I visit my 94 year old aunt from time to time. They die like flies after falls. All it takes is one accident, unfortunately. And I actually like the look of the unaltered women’s faces I see around me – their characters look so individual, and mostly they look happy.
Photoshop fail!!
She posted a photo of herself on Friday going to the Hamptons. In the photo she had those long extensions and she mentioned in the story she had long extensions put in for a photo shoot.
Wonder if she wore a diaper riding the Jitney?

Sorry! This reposted. Not sure what I did wrong.
Photoshop editor missed her hand! Looks like an 80 year old hand on a 25 year old body. I’m not even going to try to piece together the face.
Good catch! Same 80 year old looking hands in Ramona’s photos.
That can’t be her. It’s probably the daughter. She’s 18 or 19 now.
It’s shopped and that makes me sad. I like how Sonja looks. I think she has a classical beauty.
Her hands look like skeleton fingers.
Sonja is a beautiful lady but she is mutton dressed as lamb here.
Sonja is a natural, radiant beauty, and they have photoshopped her into an elderly millenial, however this is very much in keeping with Paper magazine’s aesthetic. Everyone looks greasy and orange in that mag.
Either get some longer legs or some shorter (or taller) boots!
Well, Paper Mag has always had a few weird photo shoots.
Sonja looks great. Everyone is photoshopped today. It’s a photo not a statement on how she lives her life. Hope they paid her well.
i agree. i think she looks great, all the time. she and lu are the most natural beauties.
not a nice to look jealous. just sayin
not so nice. typo
I don’t think it is jealousy, Kate. I am saying I always have liked Sonja and thought she looked really good.
She looks fine in the photo shoot too, just very different as TT pointed out.
Because I like her a lot I just do hope she does not really feel she has to get onto the “stay looking young at all costs” treadmill. She already has looks that should last a long time.
Sonja-s a pretty woman as it is and looks a hell of a lot better in real life than whatever they’ve done to that photo!
I like the shot, very editorial and fitting for paper magazine. I assume the next season of housewives will be the rise of the Sonja Morgan empire, we even got a snippet at the reunion of her moving out the townhouse. I can’t wait.
agree, wish her well. did u notice at the reunion, cannot remember 1, 2, or 3; andy asks
ramona if she is leaving her apartment. she says yes, he asks selling or renting it out.
mean girl dorinda says who wants to be a landlord, with a look at sonja. such a bitch move.
for some reason she cannot stand sonja. bet she could not get 32,000. a month, if she
tried to rent her place. think bethenny is giving sonja, good advice. if she sold it, she could
go thru the money with no look to the future. with that much rent, she can be secure for life.
I thought Paper Magazine was one of those that did pictures out of the box.
I find it really flattering for her.
Paris Hilton in 10 years. Paper is notorious for over-doing the photoshop to unrealistic levels.
Seems to me her current interns suck at Photo Shop. Hideous. Vomit. I don’t know who looks worse.. Ramona trying to dress like a 20 year old and shoving herself into a size 2 and she looks like two pigs fighting in a blanket or this total epic fail pic of Sonya. Both stupid AF
