Swept me, too. > [@atimnie](#): > > _Considered a beauty?_ > Take another DQ, I refuse to answer subjective questions like this anymore. I think she’s good looking, but you may have a different opinion. Objective DQs only. Can we make this a new rule going forward? I wouldn’t. It’s really no more subjective a point than “more famous in other medium than as an actress” or “equally or better known as a singer than an actress.” Some famous women are widely, even universally considered beauties; some famous men are likewise considered handsome. DQ: Has won a Grammy? IQs: Were you Diego Rivera’s long-suffering wife? Did you play the heroine in _Slumdog Millionaire_? Were you a noted roboticist and politician on Aurora? ---
