I don't know if I agree that she got her fame because she looks like Bardot...yes, the facial features are all in similar positions....but I liked Lara first & foremost for LARA....Only later did it occur to me that she looked so much like BB...& she is still one of the most different models out there. Because of personality included. She doesn't look like an alien or an eel and doesn't stand out because of that........she's got something real about her, she brings back what is real about beauty.....her ****ed up walk, her ****ed up cute lil nose, her teeth....everything.....her curves.........she has essence and magnetism and with her you see WHY she is doing what she is doing. You look at her in a magazine & she pulsates with a warmth & a life, sensuality.....that is different. She is one of a kind...and it cannot be held against her that she was born looking like someone else....the way she uses it though is what makes her stand out on her own, because she is still very much an individual...in personal life she looks almost an opposite to BB...
But yes, opinions are opinions & I just wanted to share mine....because I understand where u are coming from saying copies aren't better...but she is no impersonater I'm afraid so that cannot apply here.
