Unkempt Beauty: Difference between revisions

Line 62:

** On the same note, ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' usually had Jewel Staite in homey overalls and occasionally [[Wrench Wench|covered in grease]]. As [[The Medic|Simon]] says, Kaylee looks good ''especially'' covered in engine grease.

* [[House (TV)|Dr. Gregory House]] has big bags underneath his eyes, [[Perma Stubble]], and bed hair. His rugged, unkempt look is actually ''more'' attractive than the one and only time we see him clean shaven and smartly dressed. Too bad his [[Jerkass|personality flaws]] take away from it. [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|Or not.]] Specifically a patient once said that Ashton Kutcher and House have the "same bedroom eyes."

* ''[[~~Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|~~Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'': Kara "Starbuck" Thrace wears no visible makeup, dresses in military-issue clothing, and is frequently seen bloody-faced, sweaty, and tired, with her [[Hair of Gold]] either messed up or in a utilitarian, all-business ponytail.

** [[She Cleans Up Nicely]] too, but is staggeringly gorgeous in her natural state.

* John Glover as [[Smallville|Lionel Luthor]].

* In the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' short [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCcJJfhdf_o&feature=related "Body Care and Grooming"], we are presented with two versions of the same woman--first with her hair messy, her blouse wrinkled, her socks mismatched, etc.--and then cleaned up, prim and proper, [[The Fifties|Fifties]]-style. Although the makers of the short clearly mean the "clean" woman to be more attractive, Joel and the bots (Crow especially) prefer the "sloppy" woman. Regardless, the message is lost when it's clear that the actress was incredibly attractive either way.

* Jeremy Brett's morning hair is [[Adorkable]] in ''[[The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes|The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle]]''.

* The ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)|~~Doctor Who]]'' episode ''The Doctor's Wife'' features Idris, a beautiful woman who is a mess due to having fallen through a hole in space-time. {{spoiler|She dies at the beginning of the episode and her body becomes host to the soul of the TARDIS.}}

* In [[Gilmore Girls]] Lorelai and Paris have each said that they envy Rory for being able to wake up in the morning and look great.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Faith, in a [[Betty and Veronica|deliberate contrast]] to Buffy's ever-groomed look.
