Grace Park Sexiness
Although she's relatively new to mass audiences, Grace Park is a blossoming sex symbol for a new generation. Her tough-as-nails role on Battlestar Galactica usually keeps much of her femininity hidden behind a pilot's uniform. When she slinks out of that cover and lets her hair down, however, she's all woman.
Grace Park was photographed for Maxim in 2005. She has a smallish but supple frame and her skin tone is a deep bronze. In one of the shots, she wears black thigh-high lace-up boots with matching black panties... and nothing else. In that one image, all traces of her boyish looks on Battlestar Galactica are erased. Her photo shoot proves that with makeup, her dark eyes and pouty lips are suitable for more than staring into space and belting out piloting orders. In time, she will be a siren.
