oh man, this business

[rm]

Between the Craigslist ad looking for the attractive 21-28-y-o with a great body, some acting experience, the desire to finish writing a partially developed script and willing to put up the money to produce it and this article in the SMH, I wonder, what is it I am doing exactly in this business? I mean, other than poking it with sticks.

Hollywood has told Australian actor Diana Glenn she is quirky and offbeat.

She's also been informed she may be unattractive to some.

But she is determined to give Tinseltown a go.

"They think I'm weird," Glenn said in Sydney recently to promote her first feature film Oyster Farmer which opens nationally on June 30.

"They say I look offbeat, a bit quirky, unconventionally attractive, but some people could find me just unattractive.

"That is what I have been told and I have only just started auditioning."

If you go to the photo, I look nothing like her, but you'll see why I'm like, "well, I knew that, but shiiiiiiiiiit."

I really dont see how anyone could find her to be unattractive. But then, I could say the same for you. You have a classic beauty about you. I could totally see you in 20's, 30's or 40's fashion. Personally I find your pictures here stunning.

I don't find the "model of beauty" that Hollywood/pop culture is trying to purvey to be bland and not as beautiful as we're all supposed to think. It's really a shame to see some beautiful women fall into the trap of needing to change themselves into that. Variety is the spice of life, and when everyone is trying to be oregano, it's very nice to come across some sage and thyme.
