my vision & reception is fine. she looks like blossom's
mayim biyalik...long nose, small eyes, narrow
face. i also understand they played sisters on
a short-lived tv show; the casting people probably
saw the resemblance as well. try an objective
comparison - you'll see.

ok, i don't care for it, you do. the frosting is artificial,
the shortest layers are too long, and well, it
just looks shaggy in general... i much prefer jennie garth's
or arthel neville's (on extra) versions of this trendy
hairstyle. or even courtney cox's, initially, that is.
i also hate her hair swept up in one of those
topsy tail 2 gadgets. but if you like it, go ahead.

I don't consider whining + covering your mouth
after saying "ohmygod" every frickin episode = talent.
it just doesn't cut it for an actor on a hit sitcom.
lisa kudrow, matthew perry & david schwimmer
all have great comedic timing & delivery.
isn't it obvious that these 3 friends have
the comedic talent & the other 3 (CC, JA, ML) were
hired mostly if not solely for their looks/bods/sex appeal?
p.s. JA did one lousy job at acting drunk.
> Finally, I'd like to know where your "slut" argument is coming from.
the arg rests on the presumption that the first poster
is right. of course i don't know that he is, but if so,
anyone wearing tight shirts w/ no bra on national
tv belongs at hooters, not on a tv show, and in my
book may properly be called a slut...i realize
a jillion men probably disagree, but o well i
can't help that. if he's wrong, then i take it back...
