That's true - had she been born in a better society she could have done great things, instead of being boxed into the insulting role that she was and eventually committing suicide. She had the ambition, the intelligence, and the work ethic to do it.

Ironically, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was originally a heavy satire of those kinds of girls. The book, I mean.

Really? Wow, I kind of want to read the original now.

It's funny and a quick read, probably won't set you back more than 2-3 hours.

I never could shake the feeling that, were Megan Fox a talented actress who only did indie movies, the internet would talk about how studios can't except someone who's as unconventionally attractive as her.

I'm not entirely convinced that Megan Fox's body type being considered optimal means that there aren't people of different body types who can be considered just as widely attractive. - kashchei
My point was that Hollywood doesn't look at, "Is she attractive?" they look at, "Is she attractive enough to sell more tickets than X?" Most actresses seem to have very similar body types/proportions, regardless of what their actual weights are.

Personally, I usually find women more attractive in dresses than in pants.

That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - Silasw

Megan Fox is incredibly attractive; end of discussion.

@Kashchei: I had no idea who that chick was until now.

Myrmy: I almost agree. She has a weird face.

Megan Fox's face just... frightening. I don't care for how she looks, she just sort of a another person in the sea of generic-ness that is "Hollywood Attractiveness" which is probably part of why my sister and I cannot distinguish actresses at all.

So, Marylin Munore, a legendary character who like many shall be marginalized and idolized by the smart and stupid alike all around.

Next candidate?

[up][up] That is very fascinating and I hope to find a way to read it in the near future, but I question the relevance of you bringing it up.

I believe the line he was talking about was "why me and my sister cannot distinguish actresses at all".

And Myrm can.

I'm convinced that our modern day analogues to ancient scholars are comedians. -0dd1

Hardly. I also couldn't tell Halle Berry from Beyonce. I just looked at their pictures separately and assumed one was the other or "Generic light skinned black chick what will they think of next?"

The issue is I really don't care. I can barely tell actresses apart unless there's some reason for me to remember that they're different.
