illustrious beginnings

I was going to find a picture of Ali Larter wearing something interesting and cute so that I could then tangent my way over to the Esquire cover. Unfortunately, it turns out Larter is bland incarnate so I'm gonna have to just go with cover.

Didyaknow before she was an actress, Larter posed as Allegra Coleman, a fictitious starlet invented by Esquire? Sadly, nothing about here career has been remotely interesting since.
