Alyson Hannigan’s a nice looking girl, but really, it’s just celebrity worship. I knew a hundred girls in college who were better looking than her. ---

You’ve worked very hard at cultivating that “look” (and it works quite well on you I might add). ---

Maybe not in the forcefed “bottle blonde” image that the media feeds on, but she is that attractive. That said, those pictures don’t do alot for her. ---

> [@](#): > > It’s strange that no one in threads about Spike is jammering about how James Marsters needs a double cheese whopper with x-tra mayo and large order of fries. I guess it’s ugly in a woman, but a gaunt man shows discipline and determination… You know when you mention my favorite subject, I come running. Personally, I was very concerned about him last year when he lost so much weight, and very much relieved this year when he gained some of it back. Then disgusted when he said that he hated the way he looked this season because he “let himself go so” Marti wouldn’t make him “take his shirt off.” _sigh_ I hope he doesn’t get all thin and gaunt again on Angel next year. ---

Re; Marsters going gaunt. I bet it’s that evil no-carbs thing everyone is doing. It’s making everyone look like Skeletor. Ah well, lets see how happy they are with their appearance when they’re older and dying of kidney failure (thsoe diets are very hard on your kidneys). ---

Shouldn’t an undead guy look gaunt? ---

Yeah, he should **Revtim** , and indeed, when he was initially cast for the role, he did drop a lot of weight. (I think when he moved to Los Angeles he weight a litle over 200.) But there is a marked difference in S5, to S6, and then to S7. Somehow, James has got it in his head that he has to look like he’s starving in order to look good–this attitude is reflected in some of the comments he makes at cons. Especially when he said he “let himself go” in S7… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/alyson-hannigan-in-fhm-oh-my-sweet-god/185159.md?page=4)
