No, it's not actually.
It's from an issue of arthelieus/arkanium magazine, from France.

:eyebrow: No it's not real or no it's not gorgeous?

To answer your question LaLa. To my knowledge and from what others have told me, yes the picture is real and CC looks absolutely gorgeous in it. :)

How can you tell it's a manip? I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was I just don't know how that would be determined.

It sure doesn't look like her legs. They're shaped differently than earlier photos.Or her arms, either,for that matter. No tatoos. Has she ever covered her arm and hand tatoos for a photo shoot that anyone knows of?

These are manipulations -- the originals from whence the headshots came are pretty widely used publicity photos. (The heads/faces are CC, for what it's worth.) Ex. the first picture was from the AtS Season 1 series where Charisma was wearing a black tank top and pants and standing against a mirrored wall. The last one (bottom right corner) was from...BtVS S3? The one with CC wearing a red button-down shirt with rolled up or 3/4 sleeves.

Arkanium does lots of pretty work, but it's definitely PhotoShopped.

You guys are good! I can never tell these things, I just wait for someone to tell me if it's real or not. :)

I could tell the arms of the first picture weren't Charisma's, and I hadn't even taken into account her tattoos. It's just that the shape is so frail--not a Charisma thing, and the skin isn't the right shade, either.

And here I was using the Force to get my spouse to do dishes.

Heh. Force Death Grip?

(aside: The spouse frequently says that he's going to wear his <a href="http://www.quite-contrary.net/darthroid.jpg">Darth Vader costume</a> to his clients. If only, just to see how long he can get away with saying "Your lack of faith disturbs me." when he tells them backups <i>really</i> are important.)

Not that I don't believe you girls, I'm just curious. How is that a manip? It's not her body?

Not her body.

Although, my questions are...is this a magazine that you can buy at your local Parisienne newsstand? Is this like Newsweek!Martha or do they get her permission to pastede her head on yay! on someone else body?

You can't just randomly buy this magazine, unless their foreign-language department is very well extended. Because it's a series magazine only. It's also very expensive (Variats from 4 euros to 7), the import costs are high.
I have a few of them because we go on vacation to France every summer, and that's the only place they sell the magazine. (maybe the France-speaking part of Belgium, but I guesse that doesn't help you guys)
Maybe you get lucky and get a hold on one on eBay. I've seen some.

(I recommand all France series magazines, they're packed with great pictures/manips and tons of info. You might want to use a dictionary..)
