Who else used to call Marina Sirtis on ST:TNG the Booby Lady or something similar? ---

I disliked her character enough not to care what she looked like. ---

IIRC, it was the guy who played Riker who pointed out to her that the episode directors would go out of their way to have a cleavage shot of Ms. Sirtis. ---

I think she had a camel toe on at least one occasion. ---

Pepper Mill saw a picture of her at a Con before the series started and asked “What is she supposed to be? Ship’s Cleavage?” She says she heard that description (“Ship’s Cleavage”) an awful lot afterwards, and claimed it was another case of a phrase she came up with geting into the zeitgeist, and her not getting any credit. (She claims to have come up with “It;'s not the years, it’s the mileage” long before Raiders of the Lost Ark, too.) ---

[QUOTE=Two and a Half Inches of Fun] Who else used to call Marina Sirtis on ST:TNG the Booby Lady or something similar? [/QUOTE] I never heard anyone refer to her that way. I mean sure, her non-uniform-leotard/catsuits were a source of amusement and discussion, but I never heard anyone give her a nickname. ---

We always called her “The Counselor with the Bouncelors”. ---

I’m just a sucker for aliteration, I guess; she was **Counselor Cleavage**. ---

She was always know by a non-boob related nickname among my crowd Alien “You will all die!” Counselor “He feels anger” Alien “I am confused” Counselor “He is confused” We used to just call her the ship’s repeater. I do like Counselor with Bouncelors, I wish I’d heard that one back then it was in its first run. ---

My crowd used to refrain from pointing out Marina’s breastworks at all, on the basis that going all **zomg bqqbies!!11!** over her suggested that one had little or no interest in attractive females _outside_ the science fiction universe. ---
