Please excuse the horniness of this post

Like many people I am currently rewatching Seinfeld for the first time in a long while

I don't know why but Julia Louis Dreyfus as Elaine never really struck me as particularly attractive growing up

But holy hell, what a smokeshow. I think the show often downplays her hotness for humor/relatability but gotdam

Maybe it's helpful if I mention that the last time I watched the show regularly, I was a kid. She just seemed like a grown-up lady with funny hair. That perception somehow stuck around through every other time I watched an episode into my 20s.

Now I'm more or less the same age as the Elaine character was depicted, and I'm thinking "damn she's a smokeshow, I'd totally date her"

I don't understand you

I'm just saying she's hot, and the show depicts her as such much more than I remembered

Trag, embrace your severe heterosexuality. It's ok to admit that Elaine is a cutie
