After reading SingleDad’s Beautiful Women Month thread, I got to wondering:
Teeming Millions, is there anyone you find attractive who doesn’t conform to any conventional standard of beauty?
For me, it’s Janeane Garofalo. She’s not tall or leggy. She’s not a size 2. She wears glasses and dresses funny. And I think she’s gorgeous.

Patron Saint of Clever Retorts. What’s it to you?
I’ll second her, and add Lili Taylor.
I don’t know if he counts, but I’ve never seen him in the lists of the world’s most beautiful or anything:
Eric Stoltz.
MmmmmMmmmmm.
I think I just have a thing for redheads.
I’ve always been attracted to unconventional beauty. I like people with interesting, profound features, highly defined bone structure or great “character” faces (meaning people who have a lot of personality and it animates through facial features).
The Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt’s etc. are boring and flavorless to me. And I saw Ethan Hawke at a bar once - not appealing at all.
My favorite looking celebrity types who I would do in a second: (Note, I like musicians and it shows)
Crispin Glover
Mark Arm (of Mudhoney)
My Saxophone Instructor, Brian
Prince (is there a UBB code for his new name/symbol yet?)
Young Chet Baker
Young Marlon Brando
For one terrible terrible second, I read that as ‘bj0rn’.
Just thought I’d share.

I’m long over it, but I used to have a mad crush on Rick Moranis - you know, from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Something about him - he just looked so goofy and vulnerable. Like a big puppy.
Steve Buscemi
Tom Jones
Tori Amos

The funny glasses made me think of Lisa Loeb. Oh…My…Gawd.
One hot babe in my opinion. I don’t understand why she doesn’t get contacts, but then I guess my shallowness is showing through.

The world’s loneliest doper.
What, are you nucking futs? She would lose all kindsa sex appeal without those glasses.
Boy Howdy, I’d do the young Chet Baker!!! He was better lookin’ than James Dean! And that whispery little-boy voice he sang with? Chet Baker CDs are my number one gift for women 50 and older…(authors, agents, the sort of people I sometimes get gifts for), especially ones where he poses all soulfully with his trumpet.
Oh. Right. Ahem. Girls. I always kinda wanted to see if I could make Shelley Duvall’s eyes bug out MORE, if you catch my drift.
Hmmmmmm. As for famous people, one would definitely be Patrick Stewart, also Jonathan Frakes, and a couple more I won’t say right now.
As for the not-so-famous, well, one of the Dopers on this board, and I ain’t saying, 'cause he doesn’t know, and I’d better keep it that way. Also, one of the guys I used to work with, and his best friend.
You are more than a human being, you are a human becoming.

That’s my name, not a description. I am neither purple nor a bear. Okay, so I’m purple.<a true Wally original!>
Uke, I know Young Chet Baker is hot, but most of my friends think he looked like a chiseled goon. That’s why I consider him to be “unconvential beauty”.
After he lost all his teeth, though, he was still pretty cute in a grandpa-heroin-addict sort of way. And I love the way you could hear the spit sputtering from his trumpet.
I’ve always found a “rugged masculine” look to be much more attractive than “well groomed leading man”.
One guy I thought was incredibly hot was the guy who used to play saxaphone on Saturday Night Live, I don’t know his name. Everyone I’ve every told that to thinks I’m nuts.
Drink up, dear. I made it just for you.

A few people I think are cute, in an unconventional way: Rikki Lake, Janeane Garofalo, Jodie Foster, Ellen Barkin , and Kathy Najimy.
I’m drawn to all types of physical features. I place a lot of weight on a person’s intelligence and personality: This is what truly makes a person beautiful or ugly to me.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
re: Lisa Loeb
I saw an interview where she was asked this…she’s allergic to them. She said she’s never been able to wear them.
I, along with manny other female viewers of The Red Green Show, have a soft spot for Harold. Patrick McKenna, who plays him, is handsome and preppy-ish in other roles, but is a complete geek as Harold–and girls/women still swoon over him!
Dr. Drew (from Loveline). Don’t ask me what it is about him, but I think he is Oh So Sexy! Yum.
