    She and her husband lived in a neighbouring suburb in Sydney back in the early '00s. There was a campaign to stop our local government merging with a corrupt neighbouring local government and we attended a residents meeting that they also attended.

    Just based on her movies, she's reasonably attractive, but in person...sometimes you come across people who are just at that level that they seem descended from the gods themselves, you can't look away.

    I've heard this before with celebrities. Like obviously you know they're attractive people, you see them in magazines on TV and movies blah blah blah. But then you see them in real life and their presence is a bit ethereal because they're so attractive. 

    I heard a story about someone seeing Jason Sudeikis at a party in real life in New York City. He's talking about how Jason Sudeikis is not really considered top-tier attractive as far as Hollywood standards go, but then you see him in real life and he's remarkably attractive especially compared to everyone else.

    Similar story- I was at lollapalooza music festival at the front of the gen pop crowd - and in the front before the stage there is an area for VIPs. I’m a straight lady but Megan Fox walked past into that area with her crew, and I just could not believe the absolute aura and fixation she brought being that attractive. Unreal, it really is a thing.

    i can't imagine honestly. there was once where i put a friend's friend pic on a game profile pic cos i thought she was super hot. i forgot about it. i started to have loads of invites and people coming to talk to me sweetly. everything was peachy and i advanced fast because of it.

    after a while some girl said 'we girls gotta stick together' and i go like huh? i'm not a chick. and she says your profile pic is! and i took it down.

    right after that gaming suddenly went back to normal. people being nasty, cussing. random kicking out of quickplay games. and i didnt change a single thing i was doing except i didnt have a hot chick pic on my profile anymore.

    i really can't imagine going thru life 100% like that. completely different experience especially if it happens at the workplace.
