[QUOTE=DigitalC] Plus she wears size 12 shoes, thats just scary. [/QUOTE] Well, you know what they say: Big feet, big…boots. ETA: I still don’t know how that got on Saturday Morning TV. And wasn’t that the last time Larry Fishburne was the least bit not-repulsive-looking? ---

[QUOTE=Little Nemo] She’s a young willowy blonde who’s apparently pretty loose sexually. We’re not a gender that needs depth. [/QUOTE] Well, I do. I honestly find a woman’s attractiveness number rising with my respect for her mind. I’ve turned down women more than once because I couldn’t deal with the ignorance or inability to think/learn. ---

1.) She’s thin 2.) Her face is attractive, in a wierd kinda way 3.) She carries herself with an air of self-confidence/conceit #'s 2 and 3 are attractive or repulsive, depending on your mood at the moment. BTW, big boobies are SO 1980’s. Nowadays Kate Hudson can go on Leno or Letterman braless wearing a T-shirt, to say to the world “Hey, look at my tiny titties! Ain’t they perky!” ---

All hetero males, please raise your right hand to signify you would not accept Paris Hilton’s invitation to go to bed with her. ::looks around:: Thought so. ---

Re the she’s “dumb like a fox” comments some have made, based on what I’ve read about about her history she is genuinely pretty limited in the intellect department. There was a story in Vanity Fair a few years ago where her parents had to send her to some remedial private school because she couldn’t/wouldn’t make it in regular school, and she even flunked out of that. Apparently she went into some sort of depressive near catatonic state because the school did not allow her to bring her makeup, and her parents finally had to come to pull her out and bring her home. So no… not “like a fox”. ---

[This was amusing](http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56168) > [@](#): > > White told WND that one day during practice, Hilton kept complaining her head was hurting. White thought there might be a problem with Paris’ helmet, so she helped her take it off. > > “When I removed her helmet, I saw she had a banana clip [keeping her hair in place]. They’re rather big underneath the helmet. I told her, ‘We need to take the banana clip out.’ Paris responded, ‘What am I supposed to do about my hair?’ She clearly didn’t understand how this all worked.” ---

**astro** , from your [very same article](http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56168): > [@](#): > > As far as Hilton’s smarts, her dorm parent, who also is a faculty member, said, “She’s no dummy. That’s all an act. She was fairly intelligent and probably would have been a fine student.” Matches my impression. She’s not an idiot. ---

[QUOTE=JThunder] … I still value my health. [/QUOTE] Why would your health be at risk? For all any of us know, she can count her sexual partners on one hand (and I doubt that any of them were heroin addicts). It wasn’t very smart to allow herself to be filmed while having sex, but that doesn’t mean that she’s had any more sex, or any more sex partners, than the average woman her age. People have sex with their SO’s. It happens. In fact, it’s almost a given that couple outside of their late teens will be having sex with each other on a regular basis. It doesn’t make a girl a slut to fuck her boyfriend. (OK, I’ll get off my soapbox now. I swear I’m not related to her. It just annoys me that so many people act like she’s promiscuous just because we know for a fact that she fucks.) ---

I’m a girl and I think she’s very beautiful when she’s smiling. I think she looks rather boring when she’s pouting. Her tall stature and overall polish don’t hurt. ---

I like Paris Hilton. I do not want to sleep with her (not really my type) bu I think she’s attractive enough, and I don’t think she’s any sluttier than a lot of girls her age that I know who flaunt their sexuality but are just teases about it, really. Nor do I think she’s just a parasitic heiress. Put me in the “hidden intelligence, play-acting dumb” camp. ---

[QUOTE=Sam Stone] Doesn’t do a thing for me. Too skinny, strange looking, and stupid. The trifecta of unsexiness. [/QUOTE] This sounds like my concept. Of course, I can give stupid a pass. But, she did look a. scrawny, and b. misshapen. I also had a close friend talking about how hot she was, and I was shocked. Then, I remembered what his wife looked like. That being said, I have to say that her anti-McCain video made her look a little better to me. Her head seemed more proportionate to her body, and her scrawniness seemed to have changed into mere skinnines. From the beginning, tho, I always believed she had extremely perfect skin.
