mate i reckon if a chick like that smiled at me and asked me how my day was going as a part of her job requirements id still not sleep for a week…if she asked me out for a coffee id probably just combust…not sexually, but litterally just pop…thered be a cartoon style pair of shoes on the ground with smoke whisping out of them…
edit…i mean to say, just for clarity, i find her almost as attractive looking as my wife …
For me sex symbols as such are not just (primarily?) for their looks but for what they represent. I love cerebral women who are authoritative and commanding.
I’ve never looked at actresses as fitting this category but someone like Reece (with or without) her Spoon may qualify and I do find her attractive.
Make up is so important to “sex symbol” actresses not because they are actually “normal looking”, but because cameras are incredibly unflattering. Most of the time if you saw them in person at the time these “look at these celebs without make up, they are really only a Darlington 7” pics were taken you would be recognizing them at something far closer to their sex symbol reputation, even if personally they don’t do it for you.
Men talking about the looks of famous women is also kind of like the english press and its footballers. There is a period in their career where they get a lot of positive coverage, and then a certain point of familiarity hits at which fellas down the pub engage themselves in “honestly, she’s really not that hot is she” type talk.
Cynical’s right this time. She may be a wonderful actress, I don’t know, but she’s average looking.
The ultimate winner of this dubious prize has to be Lady Di. A completely ordinary looking woman who was hilariously touted as the world’s most beautiful. Total delusion.
