Meh. I don’t think she’s all that. Plus my judging scale requires a three point deduction for bare legs in a dress- making her about a 5 in that outfit. ---

I prefer her when she has a more naturalistic look - I don’t think she really suits Hitchcockian ice queen. She still looks amazing. ‘Mannish,’ heh - that’s some weird men then! > [@Capitaine\_Zombie](#): > > She looks like an Image comic book’s cover, right down from the strange anatomy to the cockish pose (btw, she even manages to completely cover the guy that’s right behind her in the pic). Am I being whooshed? There’s no man behind her. ---

I’ve mentioned it before, but I met her briefly once, about 6 years ago or so. She bumped into me in LAX. I assure you; pictures do the woman no justice. In person she is _unbelievably_ sexy. Just standing there in a pair of jeans, T-shirt and jacket, she was mesmerizingly gorgeous. I’ve seen a lot of actresses and models and whatnot IRL, and Kate Winslet is absolutely, hands down the most beautiful woman I have ever met in person. ---

Eh, she’s a fine actress, and I’d like to spend time talking with her or even fucking her. The OP photo makes her look like a total skank, though, IMHO – I could go out tonight and find dozens of way hotter chicks than shown in that picture (not that I care enough to get their digits, but I’d definitely look at them twice). ---

> [@BrotherCadfael](#): > > Bingo. I can’t figure out why on earth beautiful natural redheads go blonde. Just to take a couple of examples: Laura Prepon and Lindsay Lohan (yeah, she was beautiful, once) look terrible as blondes. To add another, Diane Neal; absolutely smokin’ hot when she joined _Law & Order: SVU_, but then went blonde. I read somewhere that the producers wanted the show to have a blonde ADA, so after Stephanie March left they tried to turn her replacement into a clone of Stephanie March. Wrong in so many ways. ---

> [@Askance](#): > > [Check out this photo](http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/kate-winslet-very-curvy-and-just-perfect-20110913-1k7bi.html) … that is simply female perfection. And yes, I’m well aware of the optical tricks employed in that dress - but we men are simple creatures and are still impressed by such artfully-deployed artifice. The bod looks great, the face and hair are too plasticky looking.
