Up until now, we may have neglected Natalie Zea’s Dirty Sexy Charms . . . Let’s explore them shall we?
First of all, she’s hot:
Second, she’s actually kind of amazing as Karen Darling. In her role as bride-to-be, Natalie is the perfect swooning lovebird. Although who wouldn’t be convincing lying underneath Blair ‘Dirty Sexy’ Underwood (Blair, if you’re reading this, we’d be convincing).
Karen is rapidly becoming one of our favorite characters. She’s somehow calculating, and slightly naive, and desperately romantic, and funny. When little Jeremy Darling invites the recently separated Lisa George to the ill-fated wedding, Karen tells Nick:
“See ya at the We-Ding, Oh and don’t worry, I didn’t put Lisa at your table, cause I figured sitting next to your wife and her date could get kinda . . . Awk-ward, so”
Unforch, seating-chart awkwardness is not really the issue at her ceremony. The blissfully smitten Karen is traded by her delicious fiancé Simon Elder for ownership of Darling enterprises. Elder promises to leave Karen for a company worth over twenty million. Nick, Karen’s first love, breaks the news to her.
After questioning his involvement in bartering away her marriage (of course Nick was involved, homeboy is always involved), Karen bitch slaps Nick so hard we’re sure Peter Krause tasted palm for weeks after filming.
We. Love. Her. How have we overlooked dirty sexy Natalie for so long? Could be that she plays opposite Blair, and sometimes it’s hard to see past his dirty sexy everything.
Although, maybe we could slide the dirty sexy thigh back under the sheets, no?
