Miss Olyve, I agree with you absolutely that " she's not just a pretty face. For such a beautiful woman, she sure seems down to earth and passionate about her animals and charities."
However, I don't think that truth is particularly relevant as a response to, oh, "have you heard Lyle Lovett's new album?"
In her own right she is all of those things. But I wasn't talking about Julia Roberts at all. That's what I was aiming at - not putting her down, just not bringing her into the conversation.
Which appears to be impossible when talking with men about...oh, I've been there before
