 In almost every interview with a beautiful starlet, they make some crack about how they were never asked out in High School, as they were gawky and unattractive. Us horny men think, right, I would have been right there Cindy Crawford... You would have been my prom date Jennifer Garner, and yes, Courtney Cox, I would have made you my wife. However, I have had first hand experience with this phenomenon. I went to see the film Drop Dead Gorgeous and was quite taken by the "Michelle" character. I knew I had seen her before, but I couldn't figure out from what film. ...until I realized that I smooched her in High School.
"Shit, that's Lauri Sinclair... we were in choir together, for god sakes, and she was a real beret wearing drama mutant. What happened?" (Side note: From her choice of outfits on the redcarpet pic to the upper left, I see she hasn't improved her fashion sense). Which leads us to....... The Sexual Evolution of Kate Beckinsale 
As of late, there seems to be a lot of discussion as to the hotness of Kate Beckinsale (Lindsay Lohan aside, obvs). Yesterday Uncle Grambo posted the picture to the right, which shows a, well, to be frank, kind of frumpy, girl at the party in the corner kinda Kate. So, using Grambo's image, which my research has dated somewhere in the area of December, 1993 (Kate at 20yrs) let us follow the transformation of Kate from frumpy to humpy...  One year from our base case (Kate at 21yrs), Kate appears to have gone a step backward, with a bit of a boy cut and some seriously weird eyebrow action. Definitely frumpy. At 22, our Kate was the star of the BBC produced Cold Comfort Farm. This is the first time I saw Kate on film. I really enjoyed the film at the time, and was not to know it was a precursor to a much bawdier work with Paris Hilton, entitled The Simple Life. As you can see to the right, Kate while looking a touch cuter, is still quite frumpy.  definitely a fake number make out situation if you ran into her at the pub. At this time, as Kate's career began to take off, she also starred in Haunted. Sorry boys, those nude scenes are a body double. Kate doesn't take to showing her bits.
 Ok, moving on to 1998, with Kate at 25, we find her staring in The Last Days of Disco, the final installment of Whit Stillman's Trilogy. I saw the movie, I though she was pretty cute, a bit skinny... I'd probably take her over Chloe, but, definitely not yet a hotty... If you haven't seen this film, or any in the Stillman's Trilogy (ie Cosmopolitan and Barcelona) please go and rent them now... At 26 Kate starred with my old neighbor, Claire Danes, in Brokedown Palace definitely taking the back burner. She was looking cute, but only in a Stanford student sexy kind of way.
 At 28, Kate made Titanic II, I mean, Pearl Harbor. I haven't had the time to see this film, and to be honest, if someone sat me down with a free copy of the DVD, a tub of popcorn and a giant Root Beer, I wouldn't TAKE the time to see this mockery. However, Kate is starting to look kind of sexy here, in that period piece sort of way. Not yet MEOW, but maybe a puuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrr....
...and so, as Kate was turning thirty one, the final transformations began. A bit of teeth whitening, a trip to the salon for some Tigi product and a bit of a color, vacation with English friends in Ibiza to give the pomme some colour, a few months of pilates, and finally some shopping with Carson of Queer Eye Fame, and the final woman, as produced by so many lovely and caring folks at Universal, just in time for the release of Van Helsing and ready for her Diet Coke Ad is revealed. Voila.
