Well look, to me, implies your fashion. A little easier to change than your face.

Well that's just nonsense, you're a very pretty young lady. (I'll stop there before I really start sounding like an internet perve. 
)
Perve.
(It's a fair cop, I suppose. 
)
Not that I would have a clue, but it seems like with actors, casting type people don't describe them as just 'pretty' or 'not pretty'.
People seem to be pigeon holed for roles sometimes, like posh, common, Victorian prozzie! Mental stuff like that.
Or not. :/
I am just doing my usual unsubstantiated pontificating.
Closing in on 8000 there Tim Tim Timmany Timbob.
Basically the jist of it was that I would *maybe* be alright enough looking to do the role if I had a TONNE of make-up on and the role wasn't even asking for someone that good looking in the first place.
Anyway you guys have cheered me up so thank you. I'll be laughing about it in a bit.
Bloody hell.
a) rudeness, and b) blindness.
Unless the role was indeed for a Victorian prozzie, and they wanted you to wear uglifying makeup...?

I was sort-of hoping nobody would notice...
You lot are so lovely, I felt rubbish before I came on here and I didn't feel comfortable speaking to anyone about it here at home. Now I feel all happy again. Thank you

Reminds me a little of the Extras special where Maggie was being talked about disparagingly by Clive Owen and the production manager, right in front of her.
But, similar to what zooo says, they must be blind/mad to make that comment about you.
(P.S. As proof, your new avatar is one of the nicest I've ever smelt!)

Status: Sammy is going to bed, feeling a lot happier after speaking to the lovely BSGers.
Night Night
Nighty-night.

I used to too, but it gets easier. I look forward to the day when it's all water of a ducks back. It's just harder when it's appearence stuff - not much you can do about that! At least if it's to do with a performance or something I can work hard on changing it. I can see why so many actors get cosmetic surgery.
It gets easier. Still hurts but you will get to a point it has a rubber effect.
It's the problem with being a young female in the arts. Guys tend to be able to look as ugly as sin and still play amazing parts but women get it quite hard. You can look like Scarlett Johanson and someone will call you generic.
I don't want to repeat the worse thing I was told it haunts and mocks me! 
I feel for you hun, I have been there!
Not that I wish to steal Sammy's thunder but I too was turned down for a role because of my looks. To be fair it was the Gary Coleman biopic What The F**k Happened Willis?.
They said a 6' 2" white English bloke couldn't play an African-American midget. Racist bastards.
Commiserations Sammy, I have actor friends who get turned down for roles on a regular basis and really admire the way they keep bouncing back. One mate of mine got turned down by an agent because and I quote 'We already have someone on our books who looks a bit like you'. 
If they're casting the role based on looks and not acting talent, sounds like a shit gig anyway, so you're better off not being involved.
Hang in there kiddo and other platitudes that convey optimism / support, etc.
