It's funny how they choose people as models. I see many many women on the streets of DC who are better to look at than her. And that's based on seeing her hang out at his show. Not to say she's bad looking or anything, but neither her face or body do anything for me. Too skinny, and her facial features are just too generic.
Of course I'll take to chatboards Mrs. Rhett any day.

You have to remember that a model's job is considered to be a 'hanger'. That's not my term, it's what's used in the Fashion industry. The goal is to sell the clothing (etc) and not the person. The clothing is supposed to 'hang' on the person rather than show off the person. Also, film often gives the illusion of adding weight to people so they compensate by selecting extra skinny people who don't look as good very often in person.
Also, models MUST be very photogenic (even though not all model work is photographic). Not all attractive people are photogenic. In fact, some very photogenic people are a big let down in person for that very reason. Then there are those who look bad in film but are very attractive in person. We see this phenomena all the time with Rock stars.
All in all, whether in film or in person, I still usually go for skinny blondes. Oddly though, most of the men I've been attracted to lately have had dark hair...but they were all medium to thin.
