zooey deschanel - damn, damn, damn does this woman look good

She doesn't seem to dress quite so hideously as she does in the opening titles and did in the first few episodes, when she wore clothes that seemed specially designed to make her look gawky and terrible, like Harrison Ford's clothes in Mosquito Coast.

Now I feel like creating a Harrison Ford in "Mosquito Coast - damn, damn, damn does this man look good" thread but I will abstain.

they really need to ditch those opening titles

or at least play the whole thing so it's clear the guys are very obviously being put upon

Yeah, that's the thing: the show initially seemed to be making the bold move of casting a popular attractive actress as a fairly unattractive character who was almost painfully awkward. ("Bold" != "fun to watch") The character seems much more comfortable and conventionally feminine in some ways now, more of a 'cute girl who likes ribbons and cupcakes'. (And it happened too fast to fall into an 'ugly duckling' narrative arc.)

awesome photoshop action, folks:

Alessandra Rizzotti is a former child model who currently works for the R-rated cartoon show Family Guy. She’s written for Smith, Heeb and Neave's online magazines, and has been published in two Harper Perennial books. Alessandra lives in Silverlake where she makes terrariums and spends time with her five animals, Maude the dog, cats Hunter, Max and Princess Bunny Buttons, as well as her boyfriend, who she affectionately calls "Bear". You can see more of her work here and there, but maybe just follow her everywhere.

I can't.

i know! i too was terribly bothered by the missing animal. maude, hunter, max and princess bb = four, only four!

slipshod imo

the fifth animal is her boyfriend

"Bear"

It's confusing.

I would say "...spends time her five animals: Maude the dog; cats Hunter, Max, and Princess Bunny Buttons; and her boyfriend, whom she affectionately calls 'Bear.'"

what a surprisingly horribly formed joke from someone who thinks it's funny to name their pet "princess bunny buttons"

can I just say, byline photos like hers are one of my biggest pet peeves

like, if that's what you're going to go with, why don't you just put up a picture of smiley face and rainbows wrapped around a unicorn and call it day

i like adventure time, am not above "princess bunny buttons"

lol the text box that pops up if you scroll your mouse over the picture is 'AlessandraRizzotti_childmodel_familyguy'

"Alessandra lives in Silverlake where she makes terrariums"

Why point out that Family Guy is R-rated?

especially since it isn't

b/c she's "naughty"

it kind of is

i mean TV 14 is probably the closest analogue to an R rating if we're comparing TV content ratings and movie content ratings (xpost)

there's nothing on non-cable network television that wouldn't appear in a PG-13 movie

where she makes terrariums

How does someone 'make' a terranium? You fling a load of soil and plants into a fishbowl, that's it!

yeah, i've always been bothered when people say they "made" a painting or drawing. you didn't make shit. you just put some crap on some other crap. you put a painting.

It's like the horticulture equiv of Sandra Lee.

if every terrarium came with a matching theme cocktail, the world would be much improved

how can people make anything if the atoms already existed, really only god can make

xp The cocktail would have to be green. A pint of Absinthe served with a twig and sprayed with pine air freshner? "I call this my Forest Glade cocktail"

I really want to make a terrarium but I keep forgetting to get the stuff I need. It's a standing item on my to do list. It says:

terrarium!
succulents!

earth!

tiny ceramic skeleton!

I actually already have earth! it's the one component I have. I also need a container but I'm still shopping around for one of those.

This is the one I want but it's insanely overpriced: secret forest

nice. my gf has been researching terrarium containers recently...

$160 yargh

wtf

This is the dawning of the age of terrariums, apparently.

Sorry.

that $160 seems like a bargain compared to the "large danish terrarium" at $225

this is why i can't have nice things

The one I want is $160? Yeah, that sounds about right. :/ WHY?? It is so nice.

damn, damn, damn does that terrarium look good

^^ will never get old
