I was really disappointed with her appearance on the cover of a women’s magazine - _Marie Claire_, I believe. They gave her the professional-supermodel-makeup artist makeover and made her look incredibly beautiful… but completely wiped out everything that is special about her face. They made her look _exactly like every other woman who appears on the covers of those magazines_. Seems like the women’s magazine industry is just bound and determined to force a certain ideal of beauty upon women. ---

> [@gouda](#): > > I just watched Love Actually on HBO, about 2 years after having first watched it. And I just wanted to say :sigh: Keira Knightley! She is what I’d describe as painfully beautiful. I like the scene when she figured out that her husband’s best friend (played by Andrew Lincoln) was in love with her. She’s about to say something and then her expression changes very slightly. And she was great in Pirates of the Caribbean. ---

> [@Excalibre](#): > > That’s when I first got the hots for her. The whole cast is great looking - Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley are beautiful. Yeah, Parminder Nagra was pretty yummy looking too. I heard a rumour that the movie was originally intended to be about a lesbian relationship between the two. Doubtless they had to change the script because the movie cameras kept melting. And Giles, thanks for the reassurance. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > The thing with Keira Knightly is, she has almost no body, and certainly no curves. But there is something indescribably sexy about the way she moves, which is more than enough to make up for that. Or it’s just not a problem to some of us. Curves are good but not necessary. ---
