Stop Looking at Evangeline's Ass

Submitted by Alyk

Edited by Alyk

“Lost” actress Evangeline Lilly claims that she was so uncomfortable being wicked-ass hot as a teenager, she prayed to God to make her ugly…or something.

"I spent many nights crying myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered and disrespected me, because they assumed things about my mental capacity or my physical willingness based on the way I looked."


She also says she quit her job as a waitress because of the evil ogling by male patrons.

"I felt like a whore. You feel like they're paying to stare at your ass when you're walking away from the table."

No, I understand the point exactly.

the problem with her statement...


There's nothing "wrong" with the statement (how can there possibly be something wrong with someone expressing their life experiences and their reactions to them?); it's an opportunity for you celeb worsippers to bash someone for no particular reason.

This isn't a feminist critique thread


That's for damned sure. This thread is precisely the kind of thing that feminism is supposed to be fighting.

Poor thing.

Of course, starring in Lost has nothing to do with her good looks that have made her life "hell".

Could someone assemble "actresses" like that and shoot them once & for all?

You know, there's a really intelligent way to criticize something(such as say a male-dominated image-centric culture) and still be a part of it(say by being a sex symbol and young actress trading on her good looks while making millions). There is. Hand to god.

Complaining about men staring at your ass while you wait tables and praying to god to make you ugly. That's just not it.

I saw that quote in big bold type on my latest Elle mag - and I thought, how fucking full of yourself could you be? I don't even know who the hell she is, she only made her mark on me as being one stupid bitch. She's NOT that great!

Wants to have her cake and eat it too. It ain't that hard to de-sexify yourself, if that is in fact yr goal.

The games don't change...

FYI: I'm actually Evangeline Lily. I got soooooo sick of people ass-oggling me I shaved my head, and had some surgery to look like a guy. Now people just oggle my BF from LOTR. Don't worry tho, it'll all be worked into the Lost script.

God forbid someone have body images as a teenage. Oh, but she's white and pretty. Those people don't have feelings, never mind.
