That first photo was a poor quality photo.  She didn't look tired in the video she looks great. 
warmest regards as always,
Tonto

 

I think it's important to remember that Shania is just as human as the rest of us! She's aging, just like anybody else would, but I hope I look that good when I'm her age. I'm also REALLY glad that she's allowing herself to age gracefully and not running for plastic surgery every few months like a lot of other celebrities do. After writing 'What a way to wanna be' on the UP! album, I'd think her a bit hypocritical if she was doing that.

You also have to think, maybe she didn't have much sleep the night before for some reason? We've all had restless nights and looked a little puffy eyed the following day. Ya never know!

I'm really glad that Shania is this way. I cannot wait for her new album as it's probably gonna deal a lot with her relationshp break up, and after going through the same thing this month myself after 8 years, I NEED to hear those songs! lol!

Keep on rockin' girl!

She looks like an aging Hispanic woman, which is not a bad thing.  You know most Hispanics are mixed with Amerindian and European thus becoming mestizo.  Of course, this is not including the blacks and Asians, but that's another topic all together. As Shania is aging, she looks more ethnic, less white. I can definitely see the Native American in her. She looks like the wise Indian. Age has a way of exposing the true character of a person. Just look at the over 40 celebs that look witchy. I won't name names unless I see it necessary. I did notice the ring too. Perhaps she is engaged with Freddy. If so, hope all goes well.  I really loved the dress and shoes.  Nice and unusual display of leg.

 Aging hispanic woman? I don't think so.

First of all the darker complexion is called a tan. Shania has started to tan more as she has gotten older. Before she had more pale skin but in the past 6 years she is tanning much more. Shania is Irish Canadian. Her adopted father was native.
I don't think we know what her real father is for sure. Shania's mother was irish.
I think she looked great and tanned more over the last few years and more sexy in my opinion than when she was pale and much skinny.
She has a better figure now and is better looking in my opinion.

Kevy I will have to disagree with you.  I'm Hispanic and no matter how 'white' some of us are, the Indian, African or Middle Eastern comes out sooner or later.  We do have Irish people in our culture and Shania does have Native in her even if Clarence didn't raise her.  It's in her bloodline.  Have you seen Mexicans?  I know you are in Canada, but I'm almost positive that there are Hispanics in your neck of the woods.  I read somewhere that Shania has Chilean ancestry from way back.  So I'm not far off in saying that she looks Hispanic.  This explains her spunky and sexy attitude.  We have a saying that goes, "Lo que se hereda no se hurta" which translates into "What is inherited in never lost".  No matter what I think she looks great because she looks natural.  There's some food for thought.

Well I do disagree with you on this. I know really white people who get really good tans and look spanish. Shania looked really white and pale just a few years ago in many pictures but now she is tanning more and enjoying the sun more.
We have people of  all different cultures in Edmonton and just by tanning you can look totally different.
I don't know what Shania's full culture is but I do know she can look very white if she wants to and also look dark tone if she wants to. It depends on how much she tans or what look she goes for.
Take a look next time you see her to promotion for an album and see the many different looks she can have.

If tan is done well I don't mind it but sometimes Shania doesn't look her best because of it. I didn't even start to express my opinion about these photos because I don't really like how she looks but I'm glad she stepped out of shade for awhile...
And I found something interesting I think if nobody had noticed it yet. On the bottle that a man holds in one of the photos there is Shania's aoutograph. ;)

I would guess that this item was auctioned off.  They were having an auction so if she signed it I'll bet that's what they did to raise money.

Of course Shania looks 'relaxed and at home' - she is at home (Switzerland) and she's among friends. She said in the video that this is her fave thing to do ALL year! So there you go - she's relaxed and literally 'having a ball'

I definitely think Shania is still with Fred, probably more committed than ever, but I doubt she wants to get married again...especially so soon after Mutt. She is at an event that is, in part, sponsored by a jewellery company, and she is likely wearing their necklace, bracelet and ****tail rings.

More pictures here, from page 5-19:

Yes women do wear rings on their ring finger even if they are not married but the reason I said that was becasue she was holding it up and showing it off as to send a message.  I am not sure what the message was as there are only pictures.  Look at the picture and tell me what you would get out of seeing this picture.  Women don't normally flash this hand and show that ring unless it means something.  I mean it is easy to see in the picture that she is pointing out something she is saying about her ring.  Check it out and then see what you think.
Warmest regards as always,
Tonto

It does look like she is showing off her ring, but i think she is just gesturing with her hands.Their was a lot of people there and i think if shania had said she was engaged someone would have spilled the beans.Im wondering if she isn't down playing the relationship.No pictures of the two of them and no mention of Fred in her letter.If they have been dating 6-10 months, she knows now if Fred is the right guy or not.

If Shania was enagaged, don't you think the press would have got wind of it by now? Just because Frederic was present at the same event, Shania probably didn't want to flaunt their relationship in front of everybody because she likes to keep her private life separate to he public life. The ring looks like it's part of the necklace and bracelet set and maybe her marriage finger was the only finger that it would fit.

I do not recall her publicly posing for photogs with him - they were unauthorized papparrazzi photos were't they?

I don't have the capability of reading her mind.

Kevy, I see that your proud and can't stand to see that something you said may not hold up, at least halfway.  I won't say that you are totally wrong, but you are half wrong because you are missing the point.  My understanding of race and culture are very different from you because I am a Hispanic American.  I see so many faces and colors all across our great country that I've become adept at seeing the subtleties that others may miss.  Don't forget that we all come from Africa so we as humans are all bound to have a little bit of this or that.  It's as if your trying to hang on to the notion that Shania is white.  She may be mostly white, but she's not WASP white just in the same way that most Afro Americans are a mix of different races, but fall into the black category because of their skin colors and features.  I'm mostly white (I know my family tree quite well) myself even though my African and Asian features are what predominate.  I don't deny those parts of myself because my black family raised me.  I could for all purposes call myself an Afro Hispanic because the black side of my family raised me.  But when people look at me they don't see black unless I go out with my hair au naturel (i.e. not fixing it and letting my hair fro out).  It's the same thing with these people that you speak of that you say look 'Spanish'.  I hope that when you say Spanish that you are referring to people from Spain and not Hispanics or Latinos or else I will say that you need a 101 on anthropology.  If there's something that I can't stand is when people refer to us as Spanish.  We freed ourselves from the Spanish a long time ago thank you very much.

That's informative.  So she is partially Native by ancestry and by virtue of adoption she became half Native once more, so to speak.  I think being biracial, multicultural, whatever you are mixed with presents its challenges.  I speak from personal experience.  On one hand you want to honor the people who raised you, but if you do not bear a strong resemblence to the race of the people who raised you then you are not seen as Native enough, black enough, white enough, etc.  I do think that the Native background has colored her music even if it contemporary fare and doesn't indulge in traditional hymns.  I always thought that there was something unique, special about her for a country singer when she first came out, a je ne sais quois.  I never faulted her for discussing her Native heritage, but it came across like she was trying to cash in on her background in order to gain more publicity and that irritated me.  Perhaps it was not Shania's intention, but I guess what Shania had in mind and how it came out were two different things.  You know, you think that you have just created a masterpiece and when the public sees it they don't get it or even dislike it.  That's just life.  

I'm just glad to see her out and about.

Yes one can only hope, but I do realize that we are all at different stages mentally, spiritually and emotionally.  I let go and let God.  At this point in my life it's what I have learned to do.
