That’s actually very true PERIT. One of the barmen in my local is from Arizona or Arkansas or summat like that and to see the local wenches drooling and slobbering over his bloody accent [not to mention his tan and pearly whites and muscles and pigging infuriating always happy smiling face] really pisses us English rampant studs off.
We wouldn’t mind but he must have been through half the unmarried ones [and a few married] and shows no sign of slowing down.
Actually, she’s not doing the hoovering, she’s doing the Swiffering. As the commercials keep telling us, Swiffering is like nothing you’ve ever done before.
On the subject of accents it was surprising how many Americans thought I was an Aussie whilst holidaying in your fair land last year, fair but not as fair as Merrie England, gadzooks and a hey nonny nonny!
You don’t have to be smart to be pretty, but it helps. On balance, I would say it is better to be pretty than to be smart – in the U.S. where we put quite a premium on looks and the economic competition isn’t quite so Darwinian as in the Third World.
But in any event, I would take lucky over smart or pretty, or pretty AND smart, any day.
She isn’t that good-looking, it took a hairstylist and a makeup artist a couple hours at least. Then it took a wardrobe specialist to pick clothes and a pro photograpper to set up lighting and (probably) retouch the photo.
There used to be a website out there that had photos of TV and movie stars without makeup. Many of them were not that impressive-looking.

Funny you should say that ** DougC ** my brother has a business that specialises in colour photographic layouts for mail order cats/womens mags etc and I went to one of the shoots some years back.
I kid you not some of those models when they arrived at the studio looked dog rough but after a few hours with the stylists/hairdressers/make up artists looked good enough to eat…yes well!
No? I can’t?..Well sorry, I’m a female, therefore I WILL !!! I believe what makes a woman (or man for that matter) is NOT their looks, but their own self-confidence in themselves. As spogga said, a 40-45 year old woman was obviously appreciated as being attractive NOT because she was young, nubile, blonde and willowly thin - but perhaps because she portrayed a comfortable aura of self-confidence within herself… at ease with her own attitudes, behaviour, body and presentation. Not having to rely on the teeny-bopper perspex aura that all the “fine young thangs seem to ooze” just to receive some kind of sexual attention.
To be at ease with one’s self is the sexiest attribute that any Human Being can portray, I reckon.
