Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I think the statement was like the ladder in Lee's office - awkwardly placed for no apparent reason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does no one believe in ineffability anymore?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Also, since it is a paraphrase, the emphasis could be on "necessarily"-- as in, he doesn't find all fat women sexually attractive as a matter of course-- some he does and dome he doesn't.

Although, I have to admit it shocked me at the end of the article.

ION, I heart today's guest-written Dinosaur Comics. Because it's so true!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And now there is someone on the ladder, but I still don't know why they are here.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Also, since it is a paraphrase

This is what I was coming back to comment on -- I think that, because it's NOT a direct quote, it's much more indicative of the reporter's/NYT's attitude towards standards of beauty (like Jess said) than it is about Nimoy's attitude.

[Note: I state the following while fervently hoping that I don't set off a debate about the definition of "art" versus "porn."]

Also, I think that Nimoy chose his words very deliberately to emphasize that, for HIM, this project is about creating art, creating something beautiful, and not creating something as disposable and detached as a stroke mag.
