The girl is very pretty, but she is not seemed with Kristin. The thread is look-like and we don´t have to analyze beauty here and yes if "the girl" is seemed or not. Agreed? | |

Well, let's see... She's both amazingly beautiful and a _very_ talented and promising actress. In that, yes!, she and Kristin sure bear a lot in common! Yet apart from that, I'm afraid I can't back you up really -- very sorry! (^_-) Look-wise (since this is what this particular thread's all about) Kristin and Zhang are just quite different from each other, I guess. Well, there's this kind of peaceful/graceful charm side to both of them, right?! But that's really just as far as I can go on this matter! (...Oh yeah: and of course both have gorgeous long dark hair, ok (^___^) !) More generally speaking, I'd be willing to make some comments about this whole thread (nothing silly, don't worry ^^): a big part of the pictures posted here (actually even the most part, I guess ^^) are asian females (or -- talking about Kristin, for instance -- of asian descent). No offense meant to anyone, but I've been somewhat amused at times to see how vague and utterly subjective the many comparisons proposed between various young asian women and Kristin actually are. Which could well explain why some member may _really_ see likeness to Kristin in one particular asian-looking face when it'll just appear totally irrelevant to some other... Though hailing from Paris, France, myself, I've already spent quite some time in north Japan as well for the past few years (planning to eventually go and live there for good in the near future, actually). I'm therefore very well aware of how uneasy it may be _at first_ for we, westerners, to really tell one face from another since we're just not familiar with the way they look, quite obviously (/familiar/ that is, to the point when you're surrounded by and living with people of a given race every day of your life, of course). You most certainly all know the feeling: when surrounded by strangers in a foreign (also ethnically-speaking) country, and it almost feels like every people look much the same in your eyes... Nothing racist or so about it, really!! The brain just _need time_ to get used to people's unusual (to oneself) appearence -- in fact one gets used pretty fast! The more and longer you're surrounded by people from another race, the faster you obviously become more and more aware of their uniqueness and able to pay attention to how much one face differs from another. Eventually, you may even be able to distinguish with assurance chinese people from japanese or korean people, for instance, just by looking at how they look (once you're aware of them, the differences are quite obvious I must say. Though no rule here, of course, as there's always some people whose origin it's harder to really guess -- not mentioning halfcaste person like Kristin, he he ^_- !!)... So basically I can say according to own experience, that you most certainly _have_ to get used maybe to the very asian people look first, in order to be able to actually discriminate one asian-looking face from another in a more /effective/ and /objective/ way (well, as far as such words have any real meaning here, you know ^^). Unless you have the possibility to achieve this, I'm afraid you're more or less bound to find resemblance between MANY slant-eyed/asian women one with another (all of them sort of /Lucy LIU/-style to you, I guess ^___^ !), and even with Kristin though she's quite obviously of half-european descent. I expect I could thus come up with several j-pop/k-pop female artists and seiyuu, and most likely someone among the members would possibly find a likeness of sort with Kristin... Let's try BoA-san for example -- here's some piccies: BoA_1 BoA_2 BoA_3 BoA_4 BoA_5 BoA_6 BoA_7 BoA_8 So, what do you think? Is there any possible resemblance to be found between BoA and Kristin, anyone? Well, I don't exactly think so myself, but I wouldn't be that surprised if it may look so at least to some among you... Once again there's really no offense in my words, as I consider it being just plain natural process. I experienced by myself how much the way I look at japanese (and ultimately at every people from the Far-East) did change a whole lot when progressively getting used to them look-wise (and also spiritual/culture-wise obviously, but that's another story ^_-)! But to bring up your message again Guesswhosback, Zhang Zihi being of genuine asian kind, I don't really think her kind of beauty can be regarded as matching Kristin's which combines obvious western features as well. They're both incredibly fair in their own way for sure though (plus strong, very clever young women, earning respect through their talent and dedication instead of relying on this beauty of theirs only).

| ^That is the longest post I have ever seen in the Kreuk forum. :D That BoA girl just doesn't look anything like Kristin if you ask me, and to be honest I don't actually think that Kristin looks that asian. There is only a hint of asian in her look. [ February 22, 2005, 08:55 PM: Message edited by: KingPin ] |

Although more of the silent kind in the flesh, I just appear to be such a damn chatterbox when writing you know... Don't ask, that's total mystery, even to myself ^^. Quote:
Now I certainly do think that there's a very unique side to Kristin's beauty, and I guess her part-western/part-eastern inheritance has obviously something to do with it -- though not expecting to define it all here with such reductive and simplistic explanation, of course. Beauty by definition is something one never can really reduce to logic and facts -- a mystic matter, maybe?? (^________-) [ February 22, 2005, 10:12 PM: Message edited by: GeKKo ] | ||

"I've been around oriental females and I am able to tell them apart while most of you obiously can't judging from the comparisons that've been drawn in this thread." It would look good on resume. Might want to reword it though a bit, to create a more marketable appeal. Many western corporations are trying to get into asian market. I am sure you'd be considered a valuable asset.

Guess I just like the sound of... Well, of my pressing the keys! ;) Actually the unsuitable length of this post was also justified by trying to explain my opinion without sounding like I had any superiority (or worse, legitimacy) to judge on this "likeness to Kristin" matter than any other, hell no! I only sincerely think this likeness thing is mostly subjective and as KP pointed out that Kristin just doesn't look that asian after all, so was wondering about the amount of oriental girls compared to Kristin up to now... Plus the very goal of this thread is of course Impossible Mission [img]smile.gif[/img] , but that I guess everyone here is fully aware of, and still it doesn't prevent to try for the fun of it. (I'd sure have been much more brief but also sounded kinda rude using the simple line you suggest. « I am able...while most of you obviously can't... », you know: a way to put things that would've seemed somewhat arrogant, I assume, which I obviously did try to avoid). Either way, I apologize to you and everyone else for having wasted a lot more of your time than my post really needed I'm afraid! (^^) ...As I said already that's alas a very regular shortcoming of mine. ~~((;-__-) Quote:

Anyway, this is just not the right thread to talk about Norway's charms, he he (nor the right forum actually! ;) Guess you could say Kristin's a northern beauty ^^, but from North-America, not Scandinavia...). That said, well it's a bit late here in Paris, so God natt "Kristin K" (^_-), and 'night everyone... [ February 23, 2005, 05:45 PM: Message edited by: GeKKo ] | |

| When I said Some of them will blow out your eye sockets, I meant they're really pretty, in oriental ways. I'm sure every race has their own 'pretty gal'. Check out Tomiko Van, she used to be one of my favourites. But that all changed after Kristin came into my life haha~ EDIT : Fix some HTML codings :D [ February 23, 2005, 06:00 PM: Message edited by: Tinker ] |

If you wanted to say that everyone here is too subjective to be able to arrive to a consensus, you would have said that. Kreuk has explicit features of a far-eastern female. It is silly to claim that a female without oriental ethnicity can resemble her. So, you are either silly or using this as a tactic to present a certain image or even evoke animosity.
