I believe her looks can be called _"Picassoesque_". If you want to talk"who is she blowing to be on t.v." fugly, you’ve got to talk about the ferret-faced Jennifer Love Hewitt (no offense to ferrets). ---

Hey, Shannon’s appearance has improved a lot … both eyes USED to be on the same side of her face. ---

Have to say I think she’s a pretty actress. I know there’s a theory that beauty is a product of symmetry but none the less I think she’s cute. ---

No one has a perfectly symmetrical face, but hers is a bit on the extreme side. Check out this site for more info and pics of other symmetrically challenged celebs.

Now, now, folks, aren’t we being a little hard on her?

It’s still a funny expression though. Wow, you’ve got a funny idea of what constitutes a “normal” looking face. :eek: In the original picture, the eyebrow is higher up because she’s… wait for it… RAISING HER EYEBROW. :wally Spock used to do the eyebrow raise all the time on Star Trek, and nobody accused him of having fake eyebrows for it. It looks like you not only lowered the raised eyebrow, but lowered the un-raised one too, for no readily apparant reason. ---

Aw, come now! I was just going off of **MaceMan** ’s premise that her eyebrows were painted on, and just replaced them on both sides following the lines he suggested, which may or may not actually be a true interpretation of what we see, but was fun to do. And, I only meant _more_ normal, not normal normal. 🙂 ---

Here’s my quick attempt to “uncock” her eyebrow. I simply drew in a new one to mirror her other eyebrow.
