Eight Overrated Ladies from the Eighties (#7)


7) The Hemingway Sisters- Mariel is a handsome devil. That strong jaw line; those intense, beady blue eyes. A fella like that will make a man reconsider his sexuality. What's that? He's a she? Wheww! I really dodged that rainbow colored bullet. Now if you tell me Rob Lowe is a chick, I can reclaim my unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality.

I can't figure out what anybody ever saw in Mariel Hemingway. Besides her mannish features, she is very awkward. Mariel seems completely uncomfortable on camera. She has always looked like she just found out about her sister's suicide. Margeaux, the aforementioned sister who did the right thing, looked a bit more feminine, but was also wildly overrated.
Brooke Shields is not on this list, because her Y chromosome didn't become evident until the '90s. For most of the '80s, she was legimitately attractive.

Confession: I overplayed my whole "Mariel Hemingway is a dude" hand here. She doesn't look THAT bad. However, part of me is hoping that she googles her name on a daily basis and finds this post. Perhaps she is on the verge of offing herself and some harsh words from an obscure blog will be the straw that broke the camel's back. I would be proud to be the guy that turned the Hemingways into the mainstream Von Erichs.

(Ernest Hemingway sucked ass as writer as well. You're a worldly author and a rugged everyman. We get it.)
