Not Just for Lighting Barbeques

Posted by Dave

Hello World.

Long-time readers will be aware that I like to dabble in Photoshop, despite my severe lack of artistic talent. You will also be aware that I like to show off my “art” at every opportunity.

A few weeks ago, I was browsing through the forums over at ComicVine, when I found a thread discussing possible replacements for Kirsten Dunst in the Spider-Man movies. The commenters were wondering what various actresses would look like with Mary Jane’s trademark red hair. I couldn’t resist the challenge, and started my own digital hair salon. Below are the results.

First, someone proposed that Eliza Dushku (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame) would make a very attractive red-head indeed. They were correct:

Next, someone proposed that Hayden Panettiere of Heroes would make Spidey a very happy man. Again, right on the money:

Lastly was the suggestion of Lost’s Evangeline Lilly. Not the best manipulation I’ve done, but certainly not an unattractive lass:

So there you go - three alternatives, as decided by comic-book nerds, should Ms. Dunst ever decide that getting multi-million dollar paychecks for looking distressed in the arms of a guy in a rubber suit is not for her.

Share and Enjoy:

Only one of those is a convincing and attractive red head I’m afraid, and its the Eliza one.

Hayden Pannetiere has been portrayed as a ranga. There is a difference between ginger (ranga) and red head, one which Rhys Cohen will explain I’m sure.
Also, Evangeline Lilly has got the sort of 4-wash dye lesbian thing going … it’s too much of a blood red to be convincing.

Oh, and can I just say, that Hayden Pannetiere (in original spec) is just about the hottest woman on TV at the moment? I used to think Evangeline Lilly was cute, but she can stay on the showerless island for all I care…

I’d walk over hot coals for Hayden, but I’d never watch Heroes. I hope that puts things in perspective.
