Vancouver Something In The Water: Vancouver's Inordinate Number Of Beautiful People.

Warning:

---

This is probably the most frivolous [b]thread[/b] that you will ever encounter in the [b]JC[/b]. So proceed at your own peril; and always remember that beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder, while physical beauty is only skin-deep. Lastly, this is meant primarily to be a "[i]gusher[/i]," picture and light-hearted discussion [b]thread[/b]. [face_wink]
[hr][/blockquote]
For the last few months, I?ve notice that are an inordinate number of absolutely beautiful people that were either born and/or raised in the [b]Greater Vancouver area[/b]. Some have suggested that this [i]unique phenomenon[/i]" must be due to something in our [b][color=mediumblue][hl=deepskyblue]water[/b][/hl][/color]; right now, I find it hard to disagree with this suggestion. Cases in point?
[hr]
[b][color=mediumblue][hl=deepskyblue]1. Hayden Christensen.[/b][/color][/hl]
Even our beloved [b]SW Universe[/b] is not immune from the influence of Vancouver?s most beautiful people, as [b]Hayden Christensen[/b], who portrays [b]Anakin Skywalker[/b] in "[i][b]SW: AOTC[/b][/i]," was born in [b]Vancouver[/b]. Later on, he was raised in [b]Toronto[/b]: but he will always be our very own "[i]hometown-boy[/i]." [face_wink]

Also, he has starred in the film "[i]Life as a House[/i]" and garnered rave reviews for that performance. Lastly, although I can't personally verify this for myself (as I am a heterosexual male), I do believe that a significant number of people do find Hayden to be quite attractive. [face_wink] Would someone be willing to confirm this? [face_confused]

[b][color=mediumblue][hl=deepskyblue]P.S.:[/b][/color][/hl] Also, I have decided to start this [b]thread[/b] off with physical beauty, but please feel free to mention those who have interior/inspirational beauty (E.g.: [b]Rick Hansen[/b]). Lastly, please dont

 

I gained too much water-weight to look beautiful lol.

 

Didn't you forget about Pam??? I thought she was a Vancouverite?

Welcome to the Vancouver Board, Indy!

"[i]Didn't you forget about Pam??? I thought she was a Vancouverite?[/i]"

In terms of your question, [b]Pamela Anderson Lee[/b] was born and raised in the small town of [b]Ladysmith[/b] on [b]Vancouver Island[/b]; hence, [b][i]Victory Base[/i][/b] has more claim to her than we do. Nonetheless, I think [b]Pamela[/b] was [i]discovered[/i] (so to speak) here in [b]Vancouver[/b] at a [b]BC Lions[/b] game that she was attending. [face_wink]

 

The absolutely gorgeous Kristin Kreuk was born and raised in Maple Ridge,

She what?!

*faints*

 

yet another reason for you and I to hook up, obiwansbeard. (j/k) lol

 

It's true. I live in Vancouver and I'm oh-so-handsome

 

This is probably the most frivolous thread that you will ever encounter in the JC.

Ha! You've never seen the flirt thread we had in the A.C., (or even the Scottish Bordello, for that matter). But the flirt thread's closure was what started all of the friction over in my A.C. Boards.

As for beautiful people, Nova Scotia has it's fair share, however "we're"
in the minority.

 

EmperorB: ?It's true. I live in Vancouver and I'm oh-so-handsome?

I?ll just have to take your word for it, EmperorB. Also, please feel free to stop by our Tipoca City Board anytime, my friend.
