Just met her on The Hobbit premiere red carpet


She was so friendly. I was able to ask her a few questions too. One was if she still sees her Lost castmates much which she says they try to keep in contact as much as possible and some of them have get togethers every now and then which is pretty cool.

I also asked what she thought of Matthew Fox's psycho character in Alex Cross and she said she was horrified when she saw him in that role because of how totally different he acted and looked from how she knows him.

Was awesome to meet her!

That's cool, but does her hair look as bad as the pictures?

Then... speak of the devil and the devil appears.

I Actually met her the day befor the premier, lovely person.

I had just finished my morning run along oriental parade, and stopped off at the colonel for a little treat of two potato and gravey's two zinger works burgers and a longest drink in town caramel milkshake from the bakery next door.
i then headed over to my favorite book store (still a little sweaty i must admit lol) for a bit of a read and to eat my special banquet

Suddenly she walks in the store and sits down at the table next to mine, the room stops for a moment, i hear little murmur's "thats kate austen OMFG" but soon the room returns to its previous relaxed laidback atmosphere that us wellingtonians are famously known for.

i continue reading and eating when i look up and notice this sense of nervousness and unease on her face, she hasnt looked at her "Big Green Book of Recycled Crafts" book for quite some time, i decide as an independant observer, with no skin in the game that i would limp (whole nother story from the run) over to her table and find out whats troubling her.

I sit down and ask "whats wrong?" and offer her one of my potato and gravies. Immediatly i notice she has a magizine of the latest haistyles hidden inside her crafting book (like we used to do in silent reading at primary school), she tells me that she needs a change from the whole LOST look thats she's been sporting for years, she wants a change and see's the premier as a great comming out moment for the new Evie. As a former haistylest on xena and hercules I go through the magizine with her and together we picked out the style that all of you saw on her from wednesdays event.

Really made my week

oh my... her hair looks HORRIBLE. no offense, maybe it just wasn't executed well, but what in the world? The gold color is so unflattering to her cool skin tone, and the short cut ages her.

So it's your fault, then? I will hunt you down!

Kidding. :p
But her hair looks HORRIBLE, even her fans HATE it.

reply

Listen I know you were being sarcastic in relation to hunting me down so I forgive you for this, but your comments on the style we picked are hurtful.

We went through the magazine together and picked what we thought was a bold and edgy style, something that would push the boundaries of high end hair fashion, and I stand by my choice.

It was supposed to engage people .

Where's her stylist? Her long wavy hair was her trademark. Bad decision.

It might have looked great in the magazine, but you (and her stylist) should've considered how it would look on her. Emma Watson looks FABULOUS with her pixie haircut, and it's growing out fine as hell. But that haircut would never work for someone who has naturally thick and wavy hair, also someone like Evangeline who is very low maintenance -- it just looks like a bird's nest. I'm sorry if the comments are hurtful, but I like her and seeing her look that awful like someone played a prank on her is just UGH

The hair is such a disappointment.

reply

I did not make the final call on the haircut !!!

In the end she was the one who had to put the stamp of approval on the look and I commend her for making such strong and brave decision because that is exactly the type of woman who she is.

I stand behind it100%

reply

New hairdo looks great! Very attractive.
