Miracle plays "Millie" on Joss Whedon's new series, Dollhouse. Joss Whedon has always been more interested in pushing boundaries with his characters that other TV writers/directors. Buffy featured lesbian witches, quite progressive for a teen show, especially with the amount of sexual innuendo between the ladies. Why is this character so special? Well, as you can see, Miracle is freakin' hot. But, she is industry standard "plus size". This concept isn't revolutionary, but it's how Whedon portrays the character that makes me swoon! Not once has he made reference through any character about her size, nor has she ever been treated as "unattractive". She's had sexual relations with the "studly" main character without hesitation, nor indication that she's anything but a fierce, gorgeous lady! In one of the episodes, many characters have to change together in a close setting. They all pause with hesitation, but she starts undressing without batting an eyelash...that's what I'm talking about! I'm so excited to see where he goes with her and I'm seriously hoping that she doesn't take a plunge into the world of the "fat" character.
Awesome Pink Addict!
