The pretty people are here for your socks

[andygates]

The internet is aflutter with images of this woman, a French newsbody called Mélissa Theuriau.  I'm sure you'll already have been spambarded by people sticking her clear, balanced, symmetrical visage across your screens with various flavours of squee attached.  Tritalk have her in the Phwoar! thread; other places have OMGZ I <3 Melissa!!!! froth.

Can I be alone in crying out "Uncanny Valley!" ?  She's too damn pretty, she's a robot or an angel or CGI or something in a dream sent to steal my odd socks! Flee! Flee!

Just when Halle Berry was starting to age and show some decent (and indeed likeable) human traits, this damn creature has to come along.  The world just isn't safe.

Does her skin even breathe?

She's lovely, but untouchable-looking.

It's not skin. It's a polygon mesh.
