A really hot girl works in Guggenheim, the building next door to us. I pass her on the stairs several times a week, and sometimes see her working in her office at ungodly hours; this morning I ran into her leaving the Cats. Everytime I see her, even if she’s sitting at her computer, she looks like she just got back from doing something healthy to the n-th degree (like a 27K marathon), followed by a quick shower. I can’t put my finger on what makes her so attractive– yes, she’s definitely got the physical aspect: she’s somewhere between Lexa Doig (brunette and similar size and mannerisms and that fresh-out-of-the-shower-and-all-put-together look) and Ali Larter (body type)– but I suspect it has to do with the specific combination of brains, beauty, and especially strength-in-action that she represents. She seems to have it all, in the right proportions.
