Not a flattering picture of Amy Winehouse

Yeah, exactly. That one surprised me by how not-awful it was.

Sussex’s finest! “FRESHEN YOUR DRINK LUV???”

Yeah, that’s it.

Also like this and this.
Here, the wastage hadn’t set in yet but the 'hive and prison tats were already in place. Her 20 minutes were about up.

I thought this was going to be your linked picture, Tripler. eeYIKES!

(That’s from 20 Ugliest Celebrities. Just a little bit of bad-spirited fun.)

I think that is the Simpsons line I’ve said with my friends (and once-upon-a-time, wife) more than any other, so I feel sort of compelled to nitpick, I’m afraid:

That is all. Carry on. :slight_smile:

No, sexy.

There’s a lot of women who are attractive without being particularly sexy, and vise-versa. Crumb can draw beautiful women, and can draw women beautifully. Devil Girl was something dragged up from Crumb’s subconscious to serve as an obsession for his alter-ego Flakey Foont.

I really do enjoy many of the songs I’ve heard from Ms. Winehouse, but the pictures you post here are fairly hard to dispute. I suspect there was a time when she could have been quite lovely, before the extended trainwreck that is her rise to fame began…

She was very pretty before the trainwreck.

At least it took Whitney Houston a few years to go from gorgeous diva to the cover of Crack Whore magazine. It’s like Amy got a visit from her fairy godmother, except that unlike Cinderella, hers is an abusive bitch.

I guess I can sort of see someone who might be sexy without being attractive (though by definition it seems kind of a weird thing to say), but how can a woman be attractive and not sexy?

I’m surprised they didn’t include Pete Burns!

Ick, That’s the worst, with the scar from her lost tooth showing. Skanky…

And yet, pre-psychotic break, she was quite cute.

Really? I suppose it’s the ultimate in personal taste, but for instance I find Gweneth Paltrow to be attractive, but not at all sexy. Even rolling around in the sheets in “Shakespeare In Love”, she did nothing for me. Most models fall into that category for me as well. “Attractive” is the body…“sexy” is the spirit in the body.

Might this be worthy of a separate discussion in IMHO?

I notice that the “nice” pictures all have her with her mouth closed.

She did have braces once, so at some point her parents did care about her teeth. My brother is friends with her cousin, and he’s mentioned seeing childhood pictures of the two of them together, with Amy in braces.

What is this Simpsons you talk about?

I think most people fail to appreciate the discipline it takes to slowly poison or starve oneself.

She looked pretty in the pre-beehive/rat nest pictures.

Not to deprecate her accomplishment, but the right poisons can make the starvation part a whole lot easier.

Let me be the first to say “Who gives a shit?”
