Well, there doesn’t appear to be a sexist, objectifying thread active in CS right now, and that certainly isn’t natural, so I’ll start one!
What celebrities do you find possessed of a significant disconnect between the beauty of their faces and the quality of their bodies, or the other way around? In other words, you see her (or him) and say, “Nice body–but her FACE?” Or the reverse.
Links, of course, are welcome, as long as they’re safe for work.
I’ll start with two:
Keira Knightley. Face beautiful beyond belief. Body not unlike that of my 13-year-old nephew.
Illeana Douglas. Kick-ass bod. But that face–well, the best we can say is that she’s not actually ugly.
The queen of the butterfaces is Fergie, from the Black Eyes Peas. One of the most killer, sexiest bdoes I have ver seen, but damn, her face is not attractive. Also, from some stills I’ve seen taken of her in concert, she either sweats a lot from her crotch, or has incontinence issues. :eek: (I’m thinking most likely the former.)
Wow, I gotta disagree with you about Juliette Lewis. I think she’s beautiful all around.
My vote for the OP would be Salma Hayek (although I’m sure many will disagree with me) and Renee Zellweger (during the Bridget Jones craze, when she had a healthy and very attractive body, IMO).
You may want to take that kid to the doctor, because he must have some serious estrogen issues. “No, no, that’s my nephew. Yeah, the goddess in the bikini, that’s him.”
The actress who plays Vic Mackey’s wife on the Shield. Not that we’ve ever seen any skin on her but from the looks of it she has a really nice body… but her face… It has character.
She might be skinny, but goddamn that’s one perfect face. She is stunningly beautiful.
I’ve always loved Illeana Douglas’ face. I’m not certain that my judgment is worth a lot in these matters, but she has a fascinating, beautiful face. Maybe she’s not sexy, but her face is magnetic.
Oddly enough, I can’t really think of any guys. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a woman say she was attracted to a man for his body, despite his ugly face. Maybe it’s because their clothing tends to be less revealing.
This is going into my quips and off-the-cuff remarks file. I can see all kinds of havoc if a pregnant pause in inserted between “ithas” and “character.”
