The F Word

In the battle of beauty vs. brains the new show Drop Dead Diva is a winner on both fronts. This show is cute, clever and witty.

I have to keep reminding myself that inside the buxom body is a blond ditzy model. Brooke Elliot plays the role so well it is easy to forget. With a sexy swagger you are reminded that there is a sexy size 2 model inside a bigger frame.

When Deb/Jane comes out with a really wise notion I love that she is in awe of her own knowledge. You can see that she is battling between her old and new life. Coming to terms with her new body and the F word (Fat) is not easy for her. I am also very fond of the back story between Grayson (Deb's ex boyfriend) and the undeniable connection that he is feeling towards "Jane."

For the record, it has not gone unnoticed that the writers named this character Jane. When I think of the name Jane I can't help but think Jane/John Doe, an unidentified person who doesn't know who they are. Verrry Clever.

Now the only question on my mind if if you had to choose between having beauty or brains, what would you choose to have? It seems like the answer should be simple but with the society that we live in where beauty is held so high and brains sometimes fall to the way side I will leave the question unanswered because I am really not sure what I would choose. I think it's easier choosing Vampire or Shape Shifter. ;-)
