Skanky, yeah. I think she has a pretty face, but why does she always tilt her head like that in all her pictures? I also think she has a chemical imbalance. That girl ahs no assatall. ---

> [@lezlers](#): > > I think a lot of the people that are saying how grotesque she is are mostly saying it because it’s pretty damned popular to hate the girl. Also, her personality generally sucks. Mentally, there’s nothing there. She appears to be high or drunk off her ass most of the time. > > Still, the girl isn’t ugly. She’s got a wicked hot body and a nice face. If that’s your idea of ugly, well, I just don’t get it. Note, I’m not counting personality into the equation at all. I’m speaking purely on the physical level. No, I really think she’s unattractive. I’d heard of her long before I really knew what she looked like, but nothing about her personality…just that she was a heiress/socialite and that there was a sex video scandal. (I’m in Japan and have limited access to Western media, and never had any reason to want to look her up on the Web.) From what I know of the sex video it sounds like she was the victim of a jerk ex-boyfriend, so I don’t hold that against her at all. But by all reports she was good-looking, so I assumed she must be pretty if not actually stunning. I got my first good look at her when she made a cameo appearance on **Saturday Night Live** (which I can watch on TV here) and was honestly amazed that this was _the_ Paris Hilton I’d heard so much about. She was sitting behind the “Weekend Update” desk so I didn’t see her so-called hot bod, but her face and hair were not in any way appealing. She looks better in some of the photos linked to in this thread, although she also appears to be completely butt-less, and I’ll bet some skillful work went into enhancing her appearance both before and after the shoots. The woman who appeared on **SNL** wasn’t a monster or anything, but the girl working at my local McDonald’s is much better looking. ---

> [@](#): > > (I’ve still never heard her speak, and I don’t know what her personality is like.) Imagine the most vapid person possible. Imagine someone who has absolutely no consideration for the consequences of their actions; someone who is completely oblivious to how their actions impact the world and the people around them. Imagine someone whose disregard for other people is unimaginable. Then imagine them as an emaciated scarecrow who bathes in Orangeade. Multiply this by ten, and you have Paris Hilton. The shock, awe, horror and disgust I experienced watching the Simple Life is unequalled in my life. ---

Hell, yeah, Paris is ugly. It’s a different sort of ugly than Chelsea Clinton, though–I can tell you right off the bat that Chelsea’s problem is that horse-face she got from her mother. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is with Paris, though. It’s like her features fit together just exactly wrong, or like she has some obscure genetic disorder and needs an FLK workup. Whatever it is, it’s creepy as hell. ---

Paris Hilton is “old money”-her family has been rich for what, 60 years or so? Usually old money people are staid and reclusive…they prefer to mix and interact with their own kind. So why is Paris hanging out with hicks and trailer park trash? Does it boost her ego or something? We need a sociologist here! ---

I always thought she was incredibly unattractive, sadly unattractive, really funny-looking. As in, shouldn’t somebody be raising funds to help this fugly girl. Actually I just read a little blurb about her on USAToday (she’s “written” a book) & it quotes her as saying she thinks the worst thing in the world is to be boring & that’s why she never wears the same outfit twice. Now that’s really tragic. To be so uneducated and shallow as to think that a new topping on the same old hash is going to fool anyone. Definite proof that inherited wealth doesn’t do a lick of good. ---

> [@START](#): > > Shocked and confused…I don’t see it, how anyone could think she was ugly. If she was a student at my school every boy and some girls would be trying to get at her. The only people I have heard say Paris was “skanky” was girls my age who were jealous. > How any straight guy of any age could think that Paris isn’t the least bit attractive is beyond my comprehension. :smack: Speaking from my own POV. It’s not that she’s horrible. _Technically_ she has most of the elements of a beautiful woman. But imagine women are sports cars. Most sports cars as they are look good. But then start mixing and matching prominent features of different sports cars. It would look odd. It would have all the ‘bits’ of a good car but it would stil be odd. I see Paris Hilton that way. She just looks odd. And her face reminds me of a fish. And she’d probably be a really really annoying person to be with. And like someone else said most of us are beyond the peak of wanting to do anything that moves. Having said that I probably would have found her ugly when I was 18. ---

> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > Eh, I’d do her. I wouldn’t do her even with your dick. Besides the fact that she’s stupid as hell makes her deeply unattractive to me despite whatever dubious physical charms one cares to name, her unbridled promiscuity gives me skin-itching skeevies whenever I even try to imagine dipping my wick into her simmering soup of ambiguous crawlies. I mean, I haven’t clicked on any of the photo links because the seething cauldron of microbial fun that is her hoo-ha makes me wary of contracting jungle rot _through my monitor._ > [@yellowcakesolid](#): > > What makes a coked-out egret attractive? Hmm. Maybe it’s the wading and pecking at fish? This made me laugh. 🙂 ---

The Hiltons are nouveau. They’re just not as nouveau as some. Old money (generally speaking, of course - the exceptions do tend to prove the rule) does not act like that. If it did, its parents would have it taken out and shot behind the barn. ---

If she stopped bleaching her hair and baking her skin. If she wore natural colors (cosmetic, wise), and wore clothing that isn’t the latest trend. But she’s just too fake looking. ---
