I wonder if she screen tests her clothes before going on air?

Why is this thread running to 143 pages?
Aye she's pretty but she's hardly Eleanor of Aquitaine.

She's not as pretty as someone whose appearance is largely conjecture due to the incredibly crude portraiture techniques of the time? OK then. Jon

 | | | | Quote: Contemporary sources praise Eleanor's beauty. Even in an era when ladies of the nobility were excessively praised, their praise of her was undoubtedly sincere. When she was young, she was described as perpulchra – more than beautiful. When she was around 30, Bernard de Ventadour, a noted troubadour, called her "gracious, lovely, the embodiment of charm," extolling her "lovely eyes and noble countenance" and declaring that she was "one meet to crown the state of any king." William of Newburgh emphasized the charms of her person, and even in her old age, Richard of Devizes described her as beautiful, while Matthew Paris, writing in the 13th century, recalled her "admirable beauty." | | | | |

Fair enough like, but they were also saying the world was flat and leeches were a medical miracle.

No, it's not - most cultures at one time or another have pondered the possibility of a flat earth. I see your wiki and raise you a wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth

And yet you wouldn't say that in this day and age "we" believe the Earth is flat.
