You find her attractive because hormones have taken over your body, robbing you of all common sense and taste in women. It should last 5 to 50 years. then you’ll get over it. ---

They may acquire it over time (and do, otherwise she wouldn’t be orange now, would she?) due to any number of reasons, including sunless tanner (which I believe to be the culprit here) but it isn’t natural and it sure as hell isn’t cute, sexy, attractive, or anything similar unless you’re a baboon and are into oddly colored asses. ---

Those images are obviously digitally edited, and even then, she’s not all that good-looking. The first of your links is kind of OK, but she looks, well, dense. Or high. Or brain-damaged. Or a combination. Her face is just… wrong. As for the second link, that is just horrible. She’s dreadfully skinny and her face looks terrible, like it’s been put together out of pieces the good Lord had lying around. ---

For those who are wondering how the polls are going, this is my rough estimate of how peoples’ answers tally up: rich 6 ugly 6 cute 5 skanky 5 just say ‘no’ 4 obvious beneficiary of photoshop enhancement 2 humorous, sex-movie related 1 who? 1 ---

Put me in the “hot” category. Skanky? Maybe. That is an element of her appeal. Lots of makeup? Maybe. I don’t have to live with her or look at her up close, so this doesn’t matter to me. Too much attitude? Likely. But I still think she’s hot. I think her attitude is sexy. As for the orangeness of those pictures, it is likely some sort of camera hoo doo. Touched up or filters or something. I suppose we could all argue back and forth, but we won’t come to a conclusion. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Which is why [this](http://www.mauratierney.com/maurapublicity.jpg) is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. ---

Maybe the answer is Zen-like, and the question is a paradox. I am off to fix my motorcycle. (I haven’t read the book, which makes me feel bad) ---

> [@Maus Magill](#): > > I’d like to change my vote to “Rich Bitch”… or does that still count as “rich”? Well, we’re talking about looks, here. Given her resources, it’s easier to look rich than to look like a bitch, so we’ll go with #1. ---

[Hot Paris](http://www.parishilton.tv/xmdf405986.jpg) [Not hot Paris](http://www.parishilton.tv/xheartpre3.jpg) I think she looks really good in the first picture. I don’t begrudge anyone thier money, beauty, or fame. The thing that infuriates me is that she has all that money, she could do almost anything or help almost anyone. And yet she steadfastly refuses to do ANYTHING! ---
