Good girls who look like
bad girls are oddly
attractive, I've concluded. This observation was prompted by watching "
Addicted to Love," with
Meg Ryan. I usually don't find her
interesting to look at, sort of
bland, really, and she plays these very
sweet characters that are all sort of alike. In this weird movie, though, she's sort of a
bad girl, a
bohemian biker chick/
artist with
edgy makeup, a
bad attitude, and
funky clothes. And she's suddenly very
eye-catching, possibly even
sexy (I wouldn't be a good judge of that).
This immediately brought to mind
Geena Davis in "
The Long Kiss Goodnight." I kinda like Geena Davis anyway, but when she transformed from pretty
housewife into (
spoiler!) ruthless
assassin--black
eyeshadow,
bleached hair and all--she was suddenly several notches more
wow. There must be more examples... Hmm, maybe I should buy some
kohl!
