OK, I know it’s just me. But this iconic picture has haunted me for years. This is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen; her eyes are absolutely amazing and burn into my soul. Wow!

If you google a bit, you should be able to find a National Geographic retrospective where they searched her down.

I wouldn’t recommend doing so though. She got ugly.

I don’t know about ugly but she sure looks hard.

Hard to believe she was only around thirteen :eek: when the first photo was taken and that she’s only around thirty in the second. She’s obvously had a very hard life.

As OP of the thread I claim the privilege of passing on my wife’s reaction to the concept of the thread when I told her how well it is going.

She asked, “Has anybody put up a picture of Barney Google?”

I replied, “No. But it’s been pictures of real people and some occasional oddities like robots and [tarsiers](http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=philippine+tarsier&fr=yfp-t-501-s&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8) and scary looking shit.”

She responded, “You ought to at least mention Barney Google.”

[Jaime Pressly](http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/04vke0S5Wi29J/340x.jpg) from My Name Is Earl, though I couldn’t find a picture that really does justice to her eyes.

IIRC, there was even a scene one episode where Joy was in jail and Catalina and her were insulting each other through the bars and Catalina makes a comment about Joy’s gigantic eyes that take up like half her face.

I thought about posting her as well, but didn’t for the reason you mentioned.

I’m amazed that it took Post #92 before [Jackie Kennedy](http://www.ohsu.edu/academic/diversity/images/women/jackiekennedy.jpg?fix) got a mention! Gotta be better pix, though.

This is really a juvenile comment and, for some reason, it really pisses me off. She did not get ugly. She got older and lived a difficult life, in hard circumstances, probably mostly out of doors and with very few modern conveniences. Could you be a little less of a superficial ass?
