I had a farm in Africa

I hung out with my friend Edward Krupka this evening—he’s in the same lines of work as me, in marketing and media. He mentioned he interviewed Charlize Theron in 2003 and I found his interview here. It’s darned good, and it was an interview that his editor did not think he would get. Still, Edward is nothing if not resourceful. Now, if I were single, I would have been very envious of this interview opportunity! Miss Theron is very pleasant on the eyes and back in 2003, you would have been careful to not trip over my tongue.
Funny, now that I am spoken for, I just can’t access that part of me that would have the “hots” for someone else—though there’s still no denying that Charlize is one pretty lady.
Might share a bit more about my chats with Edward on the main blog when I get a chance, since they are relevant to the branding and marketing topics.

She is a very beautiful woman but I hear you on the "once taken" affect.

Yep, I’ve been bitten good!

Charlize scared the living daylights out of me in 'Monster'. She's a good actress. I've never thought of her as beautiful; probably because the first time I saw her was as that character in 'Monster'. That movie was traumatic for me.

I didn’t half fancy her when I first saw her in a L’Oréal campaign in 2002—I thought she was beautiful. But as she became exposed through movies, her face lost novelty. A cruel thing for me to say! It’s strange how our perceptions change when these people are just faces on magazine covers.

Well, she is beautiful and I have no doubt if she were to walk into any room she would carry a "presence" with her. She is favored. At the same time, the world is looking for exotic beauty on the covers. She, to me, is a classic beauty and not exotic. I like that she has done characters that are more the every day or even bizarre. It shows she does have acting talent.

Yes, she is conventionally beautiful, and I think that is what makes her a little dull if one were looking at a fashion magazine cover. However, she is still incredibly easy on the eyes!

She definitely has presence. I don't think you can be a good actor without presence and I have a lot of respect for her acting. I've only seen her in the 'Monster' role...when I see her picture I am reminded of that movie.

Who would be considered an exotic beauty?

I think Cate Blanchett is stunning; also an incredible actor.

Third time lucky: Vox really hates me and I can’t comment on my own post!
I was saying, in summary: I like Cate—reminds me of Katharine Hepburn; we usually pick a model who is not classically beautiful; just used Theodora Richards, who is not exotic but unique.
