She's really pretty, but also, she's not - it's weird

It's hard to put my finger on it. All the parts are pretty - gorgeous blue eyes, shiny blonde hair, nice skin, it's all there.

But all together, they don't combine exactly right. There's something off.

I'm watching The Majestic, and sure, she's a doll. But also, she's not.

I kinda felt the same way about her in The Walking Dead, too.

Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers, but that's not my point. There's something "un-pretty" about her. What is it?

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

I think it's maybe her face shape, it's kind of un-delicate, like a bit squarish/rounded and thick with a heavy brow, a little kind of neanderthally, which sounds horrible to say. She is still really pretty, like more pretty than most people, but maybe that's what you mean about being off?

That's as good an explanation as any.

She has something simian about her face as well. She's pretty, but there's something big and oafish about her face that is magnified by aging. Still nice looking though.

Yes, a big, oafish pretty face :-)

Hahaha i love this thread man. All of these back handed compliments, oh yeah man shes so pretty, like wow shes a doll, but she is like a neanderthal, a big oafish face. I'm cracking up reading this.

I first saw her over 20 years ago in Highlander where she played Duncan McLeod's first true love, Debra Campbell.

Don't know if it was a wig or not, but her hair was huge and red. Total goddess. She hasn't changed much since then with the exception of the hair color. Call it botox or whatever you want, but her face was always "full" back then as well.

Same here  legitimately laughing out loud at this stuff.

It is the most bizarrely polite insulting thread I've ever encountered.
