You remember the new Lara, Alison Carrol, right? Miss Look At My Short Pants And Everything Else was chosen to be the face of Tomb Raider: Underworld for not only her looks, but her gymnastic abilities. In an interview with OXM, she does not hesitate to say how she's a better Lara than the other ladies from the past:
Well, previously the models have been very static and I've been taken on because of my gymnastic ability. In the game she's been motion captured, so her movements are more fluid and more believable, so as the model I'm doing that as well. I'm bringing the athletic side as well as the model, so I've got my own little Lara routine that I do, I don't know if you saw it earlier?
Yeah, we saw it earlier. Wow. On that topic, here's the best part of the interview:
And because this is the role of an attractive female character and there may be, you know, some crude remarks on the internet, how are you going to deal with that?
(Eidos PR) Don't even go there
Sorry, we already did.

100% guaranteed fap-worthy.
Cockblocked.
I will go there, Eidos. I live there.
Eidos, if she looks like a slut, walks like a slut, and acts like a slut (with her legs unnecessarily spread for all to see. Do women actually JUMP like that?), then you can bet I'll talk about her like the slut you treat her as.
However, I'm sure she's a lovely woman, and at the off chance that she happens to read this comment, my phone number is 555 555 6384 and I would love to go on a walk on the beach sometime.
...I'd probably let her anyway though
Yet again, sack the photographer.
You can tell she just had a full waxing and you can see where the sun don't shine... but ffs it looks terrible.
I thought these days they could kinda give her a tan and photoshop that stuble out.
but what it sells is not always good.
i'll reserve my judgment until the game's released.
why do people feel the need to make negative comments about vag? her crotch isnt tan enough? dude come on. its vag. learn to appreciate all its beauty. even pastey white and with beard stubble, its still sweeeet sweet vag.
it really doesnt look good on your part to make comments like that.
goddammit. lawl
So you banged the producer in ways he's never seen before. I suppose if it gets the job done...
who cares, women flap their mouths all the time and half the time all i hear blah blah blah. Anyway, that is one fine piece of gymnastics, full leg split wow!
Plus she as the moves to boot.
Though I do so how a real life model compared to a superior 3D model can be kinda disapointing.....
Nope, shes good.
At least I'll always have these embarrassing photos of her to fap to.
