I don’t have any particular feelings about her acting one way or the other, however I just saw her photo on the cover of GQ and yowza. > **[Dotdash Meredith - America's Largest Digital & Print Publisher](https://www.dotdashmeredith.com)** > > Dotdash Meredith is America's largest digital and print publisher, with brands including PEOPLE, Better Homes & Gardens, Allrecipes, Investopedia, Verywell, and more! Learn about career opportunities, our leadership team, and how we can help you... Depending where you work this might be NSFW; it’s a national magazine cover and not explicit (due to strategically placed limbs and necktie) but it’s mighty suggestive so use your best judgement. I’m having me some lusty thoughts and it’s Friday so that’s a perfect way to start the weekend. ---

She has a pretty face. ---

There is something fundamentally wrong about the way her face looks. Distorted, out of place, something. Some combination of her expression, the lighting, the angle, and who knows what else makes it not look like her face. Add that to the fact that it doesn’t look like that face connects to the neck … actually, it almost looks like they took Stephen Colbert’s face and pasted it in. It all pings my “that’s not right” sensor, uncanny valley style. Whatever composite or edited entity it is that appears in that photo, it ain’t human. ---

Whatever composite or edited entity it is that appears in that photo, it ain’t human. Don’t harsh my horny. For the life of me I can’t see what you’re talking about. So she’s leaning her head towards the camera a bit and her long silky hair (yum) is hiding her neck. Everything looks quite properly put together. ---

And no, I intend to make this last a nice long time. I also bought a lottery ticket, a man’s got to have dreams 😃 ---

Oh yeah, you’re right. The second photo doesn’t look anything like the first, but if that’s her in the second one, it does look like the photo on the cover. > [@Valgard](#): > > And no, I intend to make this last a nice long time. I also bought a lottery ticket, a man’s got to have dreams 😃 Good for you! Keep hope alive! You never know. You might meet her look-alike at the place you bought your lottery ticket when you stop in to pick up your $$ millions. ---

I don’t know about that, but I daresay she has a manly chin in this photo, strikes me as somewhat of a tugboat hull of a chin. On inspection of some _gooogly moogly_ images, maybe not so much a tugboat, but _some_ kind of boat nonetheless. ---
