You mean Skeletor? No, can’t say I find her the least bit attractive. ---

In the last few years she’s looked very tired, stressed out, and much too thin. Frankly, I imagine being married to Arnold would do that to a gal. Hopefully once some of her crappy personal life has settled she’ll be able to relax a little, put on a few pounds and regain a bit of the softness she had when she was younger. ---

> [@Necros](#): > > Those Kennedy women don’t seem to age well. See Eunice Shriver. Age well?! :eek: She has to that “Kennedy” look. That IMO isn’t very good on men and spells disaster for women. For most of the reasons I find her ugly, I find Caroline ugly. Straying off topic, but her cousin is uglier because Caroline suffers from being ugly and having a very beautiful and fashionable mother. At least, from what I’ve seen of her mother (never saw a picture of daddy), no one expected her (Maria) to be pretty. Also, and this is just my impression, women are born and breed from such stock (even the pretty ones) tend to have a bitchy look to them. She’s cold and ugly. ---

If they had a live version of “101 Dalmatians” she could be cast as Cruella Deville. That being said, she seems like a very nice, intelligent person. ---

Not attractive. She looks like Arnold in drag. ---

No. And that’s pretty much the case with all the Kennedy clan. Jack and Joe Jr. were the exceptions to the rule. Once you look past them, the looks plummet precipitously. ---

No, I don’t think she’s attractive. Maybe if she put on 20 lbs, but as is, she’s just scary looking. ---

I think when she was young was was moderately attractive, in an offbeat, unorthodox way, but frankly she hasn’t aged well, (putting it mildly) which may possibly be in part due to the stress of putting up with a lying, cheating, egotistical piece of filth like Arnold Schwartzenegger. I am a little shocked that a dozen other women have not come out of the woodwork to claim their 15 minutes (a la Tiger’s whores) by boasting to the wicked old world exactly what they let Arnold do to them… ---

Back in the 1980s, I found her fairly attractive, if unusual-looking. Now, another vote for way too thin, and not aging terribly well. ---

She’s not ugly, but…I think my mom was right when she said that you can’t get away with being that thin past your 30s.
