I started this thread a few days ago but have tired of it, so I’m deserting it like a Frenchman at the Maginot Line. Instead I’d like an equally immature yet opposed topic: celebrities who don’t fit your formal definition of what makes someone sexually attractive to you, but who nevertheless possess an ineffable, ineluctable, undefineable something that makes you want to throw them down and shag them rotten.
I’ll begin with my usual list of six, including links which may or may not be worksafe.
This would be in IMHO if I weren’t such a doofus. Of course if I weren’t a doofus I’d be working on the article with the Monday deadline instead of surfing the net. Move it, please?
Re: Amber Benson: There’s something about the combo of sunken eyes with lots of makeup and puffed-up silicone lips that makes you think she oughtta have a hook in her cheek and a worm dangling out of her mouth.
There are a lot of women I find attractive who aren’t conventionally attractive, but that’s strictly a matter of my standards being quite low.
And my mother says ** I’m ** mean. By the way, I think you mean “collagen,” though I’d guess those were her natural lips anyway.
I’ll stand by my affection for Amber, though I know its genesis to be quite irrational. I always thought her character on Buffy was sweet and loveable; it’s a personality thing, or rather a persona thing. The real woman may be a raging harpie for allI know.
You know, it’s the damndest thing but I had a similar reaction from seeing her in “Good Neighbors” on PBS. Looking at the pictures now, it’s not just that she’s not hot, but she’s not even as “cute” as I remembered. Kinda homely, even. Even for a British actress. But on the show, at least, she’s charming.
At least we’re in good company – IIRC, there was an entire episode of “The Young Ones” where the running joke was that at least 2 of the guys were fighting over who would marry Felicity Kendal.
I’d like to enter- :eek: I mean my submission for this topic would be Lili Taylor.
Oh, and, Fabulous Creature, you must have gone completely out of your way to find such an unattractive picture of Martha Quinn, a woman who has always held a secure place on my list of all-time dolls!
