House Of Kate

There’s no shortage of things to like about Netflix’s new original series House of Cards, but so far our favorite part of the new show is (surprise, surprise) actress Kate Mara.

The 29-year-old hottie portrays Washington, D.C. reporter/ blogger Zoe Barnes – a feisty up-and-coming journalist who is every bit as ambitious and unscrupulous as the politicians she writes about/ sleeps with. In fact Barnes’ secret alliance/ love affair with scheming South Carolina Congressman Francis Underwood (portrayed by two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey) is one of the central themes of the series’ first season – which was uploaded in its entirety to Netflix earlier this month.

A native of Bedford, New York, Mara is the elder sister of actress Rooney Mara – a.k.a. “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”

Kate has plenty of prior experience on top television shows (network, cable and pay-per-view) as well as the silver screen, but this could be the role that catapults her to the next level of stardom … and Netflix to the “next level” of entertainment providers.

Why? Because House of Cards is that good … and Mara is one reason why.

Speaking of “levels,” Mara’s character has plenty of them. In fact it’s this very depth/ mutability of character – i.e. power-hungry sex kitten meets vulnerable lost daughter – which makes Zoe Barnes stand out in a series dominated by Spacey’s portrayal of Underwood (which we’ll be writing on more extensively later this week).

In the meantime, enjoy …

Pretty, with rare freckles and matching lush natural reddish-brown hair and dark brown eyes.
Cute, turned-up nose.
However, her lips are not full. 2 points.
Natural, friendly smile.
However, ears protrude; in several photos she looks “goofy.” 2 points.
Nice arms and hands.
Nice hour-glass shape (34-24-34), but she’s on the skinny side. 5 points.
Breasts seem real, heavy, hanging, excellent though not robust (C cup). 5 points.
This girl will not age well.

86, or B+

No objections.

I am guessing that anything over a 50 is hittable?

Yeah, it’s not bad, but something’s off. Kinda reminds me of the chick that played the mayor’s 13-year-old daughter in Animal House.

I just saw google photos of her. She appears mannish, emaciated, aged and very unattractive.

Nice.

Thanks for not mentioning your freckle fetish, Sic. That was getting old.

The very user-friendly slide-show feature must be a part of the new site roll-out. Works better than The Superficial’s and those of other such sites/blogs.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!

Kemosabe, freckles are highly prized. They cover all the woman’s body that is exposed to sun. Very exciting to watch freckle-girls disrobe and see white tails and titties. We love freckle girls, say WillFolk has good taste in tail.

As the black pimp said of one of his best ho’s who worked a well-to-do, caucasian, part of town, “she could eat crackers in my bed any time”.

Seriously, she is quite beautiful!!!! In some of the pics, the combination of her hair style and facial contours reminds me quite a bit of the late Elizabeth Montgomery, of Bewitched fame.

Beauty, huge natural jugs and great musical talent, that’s Heather Masse.

And she’s not a movie star or lingere model.
