She’ll paint your face and use you like a fool
Last fall, Esquire did their annual “Sexiest Woman Alive” feature on Kate Beckinsale, during the interview for which she quipped: “If you’re any kind of a human, you know the title is utterly ludicrous.”
Which of course is true. And then I found this shot from late-night TV:
Scratch that word “utterly.”
The title is explained after the jump.
From that Esquire piece:
“You know that gray in your eyebrow?” she says, breathing on my cheek. “If I had a Sharpie, I could take that right out for you.”
Katarina, from The Taming of the Shrew, Act I, Scene 1:
I’faith, sir, you shall never need to fear:
I wis it is not half way to her heart;
But if it were, doubt not her care should be
To comb your noddle with a three-legg’d stool
And paint your face and use you like a fool.
You think I’m going to resist an opportunity like that? Why came I hither but to that intent? (Besides Kate’s birthday, I mean.)

Mother of three, well into her thirties, and utterly gorgeous. However much work it takes to stay that way, Miss Beckinsale, we of the Y-chromosome set salute you!

Left unspoken, of course, is the title of the musical based on that Shakespeare play.
