So rare.

An image from a small slide procured by a good friend at auction some time back...

Funny, years ago one of my friends asked me why I thought Ripley was "so magnificent." 

Not that her lanky, youthful sexiness is the only (or even a terribly important) reason... but I do wish I'd had this pic to show him.

Bah! If they're asking the question, they're already beyond understanding the answer.

I mean, really -- it's self-freaking-evident.

On, Ripley.
