Mark Steyn: Wasn't Julia more intriguing with unshaven armpits?

Your comments resonate with me. Julia Roberts is supposed to be a sex symbol, but to me she is a freak. Every once in a while my wife, in a fit of jealousy, will ask if I find one woman or another attractive. I know what to say, but in the case of Julia Roberts, my reply is honest.

[summer]

I never understood her appeal at all. She is somewhat attractive, but, frankly, I can think of MANY other women who I think are FAR more attractive than she is.

[kampeska]

I have unshaven armpits. I'm so intriguing.

Correct; as on the cover of any given issue of Maxim!

[summer]

LOL...well, those women do attract quite a bit of attention; that's true.

[Revolting cat!]

But why Prince Harry and not Richard Reid?

Well, Mark that's the way of the shoe business!

And who would the cat nominate, you ask holding your breath? That's easy - Al Jazeera himself!

. . . George Lazenby, the James Bond no one remembers, the one between Sean Connery and Roger Moore . . .

Uh-uh! Lazenby (On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 1969) came between Connery (You Only Live Twice, 1967) and Connery (Diamonds are Forever, 1971).

Ugh....I can't believe she didn't shave...

[Lizavetta]

Can someone please tell me what the attraction is about Jennifer Aniston? She's ok, not pretty. And when she opens her mouth - remember her classic "Bush is a f***ing idiot"? - she sounds like a snippy 16 yr. old. Her marriage to Pitt is portrayed as the love story of the century, the one that will last, they're so perfect for each other, blah blah blah that it's sickening. Let's see them together in 25 years - then she'll have accomplished something.

Whitney must be airing out those tonsils again.

Who can ever forget: "And I-ee-yah-ee-yah-ee-yah willalways l-l-l-ove yew-eyooooo-eyoooooo-eyooooo..."?

Best reason for a mute button since Dick Vitale...

And to think of all the time I have wasted by shaving.....

LOL Ain't it the truth?!!! Same here!! :)

I was going to suggest we start a trend....then I saw Julia's armpit.....yuk!

[I_be_tc]

Julia's there because she "won her first Oscar, starred in three movies and weathered a turbulent year on the romantic front."

Lately it seems like as soon as one of the hollywood prima donna's get an oscar, they have a split in their love life. Julia Roberts, Helen Hunt to name a couple.

As far as chick flick's go, I cannot take them. The only Julia Robert's film I have been able to stomach is Conspiracy Theory, and only because of Mel. (Hopefully he never does that to me again!) I have never bothered to see Pretty Woman. Can't take the teeth.

Maybe we should send her some of that stuff they advertise on tv from Australia - you know the stuff you put on then place a strip across it and then RIP it off to get the hair?! HA HA!!!!

Now that's an intriguing idea.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Are y'all being catty?

But on behalf of all husbands

SHAVE!
