Joe Millionaire bad. Oh yes. I love me some baaaaaad TV. And this show sounds like it's right up my alley.<BR/><BR/>And I haven't figured out what makes somebody photogenic and somebody else not. I have a gorgeous friend who's 5'7", 120 lbs. (on a bad day), the perfect figure, a really pretty face... and she takes bad pictures. In real life she's HOT and has men falling all over themselves trying to get her phone number, but you look at her pictures and it's like "Eh." And then there's this guy I know who's pretty cute in real life, but HOLY FREAKING HELL REALLY GODDAMN HOT on film. It's weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261740.post-1110907675751781192005-03-15T11:27:00.000-06:002005-03-15T11:27:00.000-06:00Know what's really odd to me?

I also watched the Bravo show <A HREF="http://www.bravotv.com/Manhunt/" REL="nofollow">"Manhunt: The Search for America's Most Gorgeous Male Model"</A> and through the entire show I kept thinking that none of these guys looked anything like a model. But then, after the various photoshoots were taken, I couldn't believe how attractive the photos were. Kind of like the lighting and the camera angles do some magic that turns these blah guys into not-so-bad. <BR/><BR/>Same thing here - not a one of them would I cross the street to take a second look. But surprisingly, some of them put out pretty good photos. I have no explanation. Maybe it's that their personalities don't show up on film.Lynn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444488890483608914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261740.post-1110906956950493912005-03-15T11:15:00.000-06:002005-03-15T11:15:00.000-06:00My. God.Never seen the programme, never want to. B...My. God.<BR/><BR/>Never seen the programme, never want to. But I just went to the RT website and saw the photos of those guys. And <B>YUCK!</B> If a single one of those were on a book cover, I'd never buy the book. Attractive? No way. Smarmy, full of themselves, most of them looking annoyingly juvenile, reminding me of the kind of boy student I'd have to take down several pegs. <BR/><BR/>And, as you said in an earlier blog, Lynn, who the hell actually <I>likes</I> those posed covers anyway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261740.post-1110901986426125302005-03-15T09:53:00.000-06:002005-03-15T09:53:00.000-06:00You watched it!
