4. Not long at all--
You bring up such interesting points. Like you, those outside of television and film that I find 'beautiful' don't all into any sort of category that the advertisers can utilize.

What becomes of a 'hot' woman? I actually thought about starting a thread about this a day or so ago. In terms of what becomes of women when that 'it' factor starts to fade away. Of course, women that have developed other aspects of themselves always seem to triumph and fare quite well. The others concern me.

Think about women like Mamie Van Doren, who was part of that 'blonde bombshell' era of Hollywood. She's still around, but sadly she seems to be one of those women that desperately clings to what was--wearing too much makeup, has had too much plastic surgery--doesn't seem to look real anymore. Former pin-up queens that can't let go of that old glory of being a fantasy of beauty and desire.

Makes me wonder what's to become of today's pin-ups such as Pamela Anderson or Carmen Electra...
