I can see Kiera wearing that to a Pirates I premiere, no problem. I can't see Halle wearing that outfit to any showbiz related real-world event ever.

Patrick Stewart defends the fandom.

That interviewer was awful! The only reason I'd publish that interview would be to show up my reporter, because she looks so bad.

heads disproportionately large for their bodies.

I've always assumed this was a side-effect of film/tv actresses having disproportionately small bodies. It's really hard to lose weight in one's head.

I think that's exactly it, Jess.

For some reason, though, that picture of Reese Witherspoon was notably disproportionate. Maybe it was the angle or something.

(Or her GREAT BIG HEAD!)

I think it's actors in general. I remember Allyson talking about the costume display at the Arclight when Brokeback came out. Leetle tiny clothes, BIG hats.

I think the big head thing must look good in close-ups, and the losing weight thing sort of came about because of that (Jessica Lange seems naturally skinny, for example). Also, currently, Patricia Arquette has a nice, normal body (although sometimes I think she needs a better bra!

It's a thing. Apparently it looks good on camera. To have a head disproportionately large for your body.

It's definitely a thing. An actor friend of mine said another friend was told by her agent that she didn't get sent out for Film/TV auditions because her head was too small.

Have any of you read the NYT article about people breaking up with people because of their literary tastes?

Would you break up with someone who read something too lowbrow?

Would you break up with someone who read something to lowbrow?

Not for that alone, but those choices can be telling enough of other issues that they should not be ignored.

Then again, my DexH read Louis L'Amore (not that there is anything wrong with that...just not my cuppa) incessantly. The upside is that I think the literature significantly contributed to his chivalrous behavior...so that was nice.

I'm not filled with love for monday. If you had to choose between a month of mondays or working every sunday (along with your usual work schedule) for 9 months, which would you choose?

God save me from Sunday's at the library - really.public libraries and Sunday - it is always my fault that someone can't finish their homework/write their report or that the internet has died. Plus, all the wanna be con artist come in and try to work their sceams on the non - regular employees. no and on

I read lowbrow books - so i guess that answers that question
