Questionable Choices: Paz De La Huerta’s Pout

We’re not huge fans of Paz De La Huerta around here. Obviously she’s beautiful. But even before we found out she flings boogers across restaurants, we’ve had trouble getting past the annoying interviews she loves to give.  We get she’s supposed to be a super sexy dirrty girl, and maybe she gets misquoted. But even in her role about as a prostitute on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, there’s something that just seems a bit odd about her. Frankly, sometimes we wonder if she thinks her character is  mentally slow. And today, we finally realized what it is: that damn pout.

When Paz plays Lucy on Boardwalk Empire, the pout is almost distracting. We get that she’s supposed to be a seductive flappertute (that’s the proper descriptor for a flapper who’s also a prostitute. Obvs), but does she also think she’s a five year old? Granted, Paz gets naked so often in Boardwalk that it’s hard to pay attention to her acting. But when we saw her pout in these Paper magazine pics, we had to wonder: Is Paz addicted to pouting?

She loves pouting so much. Check out the picture at right of Paz pouting on the red carpet (with some intense eyebrows). We get that celebrities often have a go to look that they like to pull out for the paparazzi. But considering that this one makes it look like she’s throwing a sexy tantrum, we’re rather confused.

Also, is this sexy? We know more than a few men who would say yes. But to us, acting like a toddler isn’t hot. And when you combine this and the booger flinging, that seems to be exactly what she’s doing.
