A desktop for the (straight) men

I saw this picture of Rachel Leigh Cook, and I was immediately convinced that it belonged on my desktop. Not only is it one of the sexiest pictures I've ever seen, but it's exactly 1024 pixels high!

So, with some special blending tricks in Photoshop, I made a nice, 1280x1024 desktop against a simple, black background, and I think it looks good. Download here.

I'd make a 1024x768 version, but that would involve cropping, and I can't bring myself to crop Rachael Leigh Cook. Enjoy!

Marginal actress who did some teen movies back in the day (and by back in the day I mean about 3-4 years ago) and hasn't done much since. But I'd still hit that shit.

My major problem with She's All That was that it rested on the premise that Rachael Leigh Cook could be made unattractive. That's probably one of the worst premises for a movie I can think of.

THAT'S where I've seen her before! And as far as her acting skills go, next to Freddy Prinz Jr. she was Audrey Fucking Hepburn.

If you make a proper PSD out of the original image, you don't need to crop. ;)

She also used to do the anti-drug commercial that starts off with the egg in the frying pain bit and then ends up with her trashing the kitchen with the frying pan while she explains that this is what drugs do to your family, future, self respect....etc...

She also played Josie in Josie & the Pussycats. A not all together horrible movie if you like stuff that makes fun of the music industry and commercialization. The DVD also has two music videos by fake boy ban that is so big in the movie. Now those are funny.

Sure why not. She's kind of boyish in a way too. :)

<sighs> I suppose.

verilon: It is a proper PSD, and I was too stupid to think of scaling the Rachael layer.

And yes, she was that crazy chick in the anti-drug commercial.

Didn't know that. Was just making suggestion.

Am I the only one here who thinks that image is shit? I mean, she looks like she'd be really hot if I met her, but she looks ill in the photo.

Actually, you don't need to crop at all. Just drop the resolution down a little bit at a time.

You're not the only one.

I've seen plenty of pictures where she's looks good. Something looks a little odd with her skin texture in this one. :?
