As a side note I’d like to nominate Rita Moreno as the most beautiful older mom for her turn as Robert Gorens’ mom in Law and Order Criminal Intent. She has never lost her beauty. ---

Lois Griffin. Hot, from a rich family and puts up with a lot of shit without complaining. Also has low standards in men. Me likey. Then again she is pretty unstable beneath the surface. As far as real people, Julie bowen. ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > Lois Griffin. > > Hot, from a rich family and puts up with a lot of shit without complaining. Also has low standards in men. Me likey. Then again she is pretty unstable beneath the surface. I’ve seen a fair amount of, uh, “evidence” that this is a thing, but I don’t get it. It’s a poorly detailed cartoon that doesn’t exactly exude overt sex appeal (unlike, say, Wonder Woman). Do the personality traits override that? I don’t watch the show. ---

It’s a poorly detailed cartoon that doesn’t exactly exude overt sex appeal (unlike, say, Wonder Woman). Do the personality traits override that? I don’t watch the show. Yes, I too have seen that ‘evidence’ you speak of. I typed the wrong thing into my google search bar when looking for prawns one day. She doesn’t exude sex appeal. But being low maintenance and a slut in the bedroom are appealing traits. I’d take a less attractive woman who had that over a more attractive one who was high maintenance and a prude. Plus as I said, coming from a rich family is a nice bonus. ---

I’ll nominate quite an obscure choice. In the mid-'80s there was a show called _The Charmings_; Snow White and Prince Charming, rather than living happily ever after, were knocked out by a spell cast by her step-mother and awake in modern-day Los Angeles. The show only lasted two seasons, and the role of Snow was recast for the second, but the first-season Snow, Caitlin O’Heaney, was quite [stunning](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0641378/mediaviewer/rm779309568). ---
