Word-Text-CommuniMIRROR: Picspam: Tricia frakkin' Helfer

There's an iconic image that made me consider picking up Battlestar Galactica, despite the silly name, or the lasting reputation of the craptastic 1970s Mormon-inspired sci-fi vehicle. That iconic image was Tricia Helfer as the Cylon Number Six in her iconic — yes, you're going to hate that word soon — red dress.

I fell in love, right there. The previous picspam had me hailing Scarlett Johannsen as one of the most, if not the most, beautiful women in the world. Tricia Helfer is all that, but with a deadly femme fatale demeanor she perfected on Galactica. Later on, the transforming persona of Six saw her take on many different types of the role. In Burn Notice, her recurring stint as primary antagonist Carla made Season Two a real spy's cat-and-mouse game, saving the show from sophomore syndrome.

She's a fantastic actor, but her original background is in modelling: the pictures in this picspam will make it rather obvious, I'm sure. In her spare time, Tricia is actively caring for animals — she's a noted cat lover, and has run advertisements for PETA against the cruel act of seal clubbing (something I'm strongly against as well). She also is a Harley Davidson enthusiast. She's the perfect woman, there. Enjoy the picspam.
