Evangeline Lilly Needs To Get over Herself

[Stylephox]

For some reason, upcoming actresses always sound stuckup in Elle's articles...

I realized that as well. It happened with Mischa Barton(who ok admittedly hasn't come off any better in subsequent articles) and Emmy Rossum (sp?).

Personally I think complaining about being attractive is the silliest thing in the world! If you're attractive, you get so many advantages in life. Sure there are disadvantages to being 'beautiful' but hell they're NOTHING compared to the disadvantages of being ugly.

^ Especially for women.

I remember learning in Sociology that overweight white women experience extremely bad job discrimination on the basis of their looks. You will NOT find the same thing for men.

(I won't even get into racial discrimination, it's a totally different topic, but you get what I mean). In North American society, women are judged on their looks. Period. Look how many female authority figures get torn down because of stupid sexist bullsh*t. Look how many people hate Hilary Clinton simply because she's a woman. Every time I ask "Why do people hate Hilary Clinton" I get no sufficient answer except "They just do." Yet people hold up the gorgeous, stylish Jackie O. as some sort of........ goddess? Mythical creature? I have nothing against Jackie O. but Christ.

^ I agree , but I don't think it's a picnic for overweight black women either....

The way this society is geared, if you're overweight as a woman regardless of race, you're more prone to discrimination of some kind.....you only have to get out there and see how society treats people depending on their race, size, gender.....it's not something a textbook can teach you....it comes through life experiences.....

 

[roppal222]

I think people are intimidated by Hilary Clinton becase basically she's smart as hell....

Jackie O seems to be held up more as a style icon...for some people it's easier to appreciate women for something like that rather than her brains.....

 

[sanura]

Ugh... maybe she should be "uglier" so she can focus on more important things...

I said I was going to leave racial discrimination out of it altogether because it's completely off topic. As someone who is half-Asian herself I think I understand a thing or two about race relations. I don't learn about racial discrimination through a textbook I learn about it through LIFE so please do NOT insult me.

too be honest i dont think evangeline is that pretty imo

 

[jennifer716]

I don't likeher body. She's toned and everything but a little too muscular for my liking.. I don't think her body is that feminine.

 

[jml2]

why does she need to pray to god for ugliness, it is very easy to acheive, don't wash your hair or brush your teeth ever, etc

 

[TheGlassAngel]

I think she's beautiful but she comes off as quite....into herself. I think she's really pretty on lost but awful in photographs. She has the kind of face that is naturally pretty but if you smother her with make-up, she doesn't look so great.

 

[impossibleprincess]

what i dont get is that she's not even that pretty. when mischa barton said it i was like, "yeah, you're stunning, but dont acknowledge it too much" but i think the other blonde girl in lost is prettier than her.

 

[adi]

^i don't know which blond girl you mean, but i think that emilie de ravin is prettier than evangeline. besides her character is annoying, IMO

 

[babyladybones]

She is really gorgeous. Who cares what she used to wish for? I don't think she's ungrateful. Something pretty sh*tty must have happened to make her feel that way. It's not even that big of a deal.

 

[justlooking]

She's a very strange girl. I read in the paper that her house (i think it was) was burnt down (completely or not i don't know) and it quoted her as saying she felt happy or lucky or something because she could be free and because she wasn't a material person it didn't matter. I thought that was the most ridiculous thing to say considering how fortunate she is financially.

 

[dazed&confused]

ugh for some reason when people come off as full of themselves I immediately see every single flaw in them haha
about Elle making up and coming young actresses seem conceited..I had noticed that as well

 

[dumbledore-lives]

no, Jackie O was just passive, the perfect, medieval wife who was arm candy. that's what is appreciated; that she didn't dare take away the spotlight from her husband anyway other than with a hat...
the passivity of women makes me so so so infuriated....

so maybe it is with blind rage that i say this, but i don't think people (men) are intimidated by Hilary Clinton because of her brain; it is the USE of it, the audacity of using it forcefully, aggressively in the little boys' (men's) playground. GAH. opinionated females...

sorry, that was off topic.
i am a bitter, bitter plain girl.

ah! what's that? the school year approaches...

hey i think if you're a girl and you get looked at by a guy, it doesn't mean the guy has a thing for you like i look at people on the street if they're in my way

 

[Yanka]

this is so stupid. Sexual harassement has very little to do with being exceptionally pretty. You don't need to be young, good-looking with a great body to be shouted at on the street or getting touched in public transport or become a subject of insulting jokes. Often, all it takes is to be female. I know this from my own experience and experience of people around me. It doesn't matter if I wear a short skirt with heels or walk around in trainers with greasy hair and granny glasses, there are always some rude a-holes who'd tell you what they think of you. Christ, my mother gets shouted at like that on the street and she's almost 60.

 

[silk skin paws]

I hope that this is just a misquote. The Tyra Banks talk show dedicated a full episode to women who think they're too beautiful and most of them came off as being too full of themselves.

LOSING almost everything they owned in a house fire would plunge most people into deep depression. But to Lost star Evangeline Lilly, it was both liberating andexciting.

Lilly was left possessionless last Christmas after fire gutted her Hawaiian house.

"It was a really liberating and exciting thing to happen,'' Lilly told The Sunday Telegraph on a visit to Sydney last week.

"All that I lost were the things inside. I've always believed things are more of a chain than a vehicle. To not be tied down to anything was a great feeling.

"I was at work and I was like: `So I've got the clothes on my back, my wallet and my car and that's everything I have in the world'.

It was like I was 20 again and the world was my oyster and I could go anywhere, do anything and be free.''

While articulate about the fire - the cause was later found to be an electrical fault - the 27-year-old was less forthcoming about her relationship with co-star Dominic Monaghan.

The pair jetted into Sydney together last Tuesday, but refused to be photographed or interviewed together.

And of the persistent rumours that Monaghan recently proposed to the brunette beauty?

"I'm not giving you the scoop. I won't discuss my private life,'' Lilly said.

Next week, the couple will spend time in New Zealand with director Peter Jackson, with whom Monaghan worked on The Lord Of The Rings.
