[quote=Anonymous]The thing that's annoying about the emphasis on her being a stinky frump is that, even bare-faced and greasy, she looks like KERI RUSSELL, a freaking gorgeous celebrity, so yeah, we can kinda find it charming.

If she looked like an average woman (much less an average MIDDLE-AGED woman), greasy hair and stinky pits would effectively KILL a career, because society ain't got no time or patience for it.

So, these details are all, beneath the surface, suppose to make us relate to and care for her because she's not like other girls, when in fact the tacit logic that persuades us that her character could get away with this BS is because we KNOW she isn't like other girls, because she's Keri freaking Russell.

You wanna create a truly novel female protagonist? Cast someone looks like an average, ordinary, BMI-25 48 year old woman. I would suggest an actress here but we don't see women like that on American TV, not even reality TV! I'm sure some British soap opera has a couple of likely prospects though. [/quote]
