New Lara Croft model Karima Adebibe "interview"/photo shoot part 1

[Everlost_MI]

Xbox.IGN (http://xbox.ign.com/) has posted part one of an interview (http://xbox.ign.com/articles/690/690420p1.html) with Karima Adebibe, the new spokesmodel for Lara Croft. Honestly, it's eleven pictures of her in the studio during the interview, the interview is supposed to be posted tomorrow.

Is it news? No. But it's another chance to see more of the new model.

And I, for one, am not complaining. :D

[UnderHero5]

And I, for one, am not complaining. :D
I second that!

[fitbabits]

I second that!
Thirded! :)

[PIPBoy3000]

It'll be great to see more of her at E3! Oh, wait . . .

[LilAbner]

I'd hit that.

She looks kind of weird but yeah, I'd hit that to.

yeah shes a fatty alright.

/sarcasm

[Morratut]

The new girl is indeed a very yummy individual.

[jeffbax]

I think she fits Lara Croft way better than Angelina (and no, I'm not saying Angelina isn't amazing).

I'm also very excited for the new game.

[Montolio]

Everlost_MI,

You rock. Like many others here, I have zero to complain about hahaha.

Do you have any idea how many sizes too small that shirt is for her?

[UnderHero5]

Do you have any idea how many sizes too small that shirt is for her?
Who cares anyway. She's far from "fat" either way. I personally like a girl with a little meat on her bones anyway. Not a fatty, but girls who have NO fat just look... TOO skinny for my taste. I like a little something to grab on to ; )

[fitbabits]

Okay, so the reasons I wholeheartedly approve of Ms. Adebibe are as follows:

1. She's very pretty
2. She's realistically pretty without being made up to be so
3. She's not some skinny rake-of-a-girl
4. She actually seems to be *gasp* intelligent
5. She has curves in all the right places.
6. (For Zeal) - She's a perfectly healthy weight. I'm not worried about her dashing to the bog to throw up after the photo shoot.
7. She seems to be enjoying her new role.

[Schnoogs]

I bet you she gives great helmet

Yep! I love that movie!

I second all those reasons, and will add:

8. She looks like the type of girl you can bring home to your mom and/or sister(s) without them asking, "Is she a hooker?"
9. She looks "real" in a not-hung-up-on-her looks sort of way, UNlike most of the women here in Scottsdale, AZ.

[OldeWolf]

Would be a nice turn of events if she becomes the permanent role of Lara Croft in all modeling shoots and the movie itself. Truely hope she can kick ass as shes kicking all of our hearts (and hormones) out of our chest.

[Borys]

A fine looking woman might I add.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Hmmm, too many woman parts. I think we should replace those pics with some of Jake Gyllenhaal instead and call it a day.

Any takers?

[Grimmjow]

lol. shes a hottie

YICK! Jake Gyllenhaal is pot ugly and downright glaikit to boot.

[Felonous]

Sorry, this girl does not fit the role of Lara Croft. From these and other pictures found on the web I doubt should could even finish a one mile sprint. She has no muscle tone at all.

Yes she is pretty. But I doubt very much that she could do any of the athletic feats that the Lara Croft character can do in the games.

[Nite_Moogle]

I bet by the time she's done training she will be able to do anything that a real-world counterpart of LC would be able to do. She's worked at basically a desk job before she got this part :P

[DeviousMiscreant]

But I doubt very much that she could do any of the athletic feats that the Lara Croft character can do in the games.

I somehow doubt that there are many more than three people in the world who can actually do half of the stuff that Lara Croft pulls off in the games, to the level that she does.

Just stay quiet and carry on searching for higher resolution photos like the rest of us. :D

Like those?

[Grimmjow]

DeviousMiscreant: i agree jus chilax and watch the scenary
Neosho: yes EXACTLY like those :)

[EGO]

A bit skinny, but really hot! Of course, it's just another chick to look at, since she really doesn't mean anything to the games or movies (if there ever is another one).

Skinny? Wow...then you must think professional models are skeletons.

[Grimmjow]

lol, majority of models are skins and bones....see i can tell just like me Assassin like lil bit if meat on the models we like :D

[Everlost_MI]

Hehe...I couldn't pass up the chance to share the eye candy goodness with all of you.

Double edit: http://www.karimaadebibepictures.com/ omgs more pictars!

[xcalibur]

She's ok. Jolie fit the role better, IMO. And I am no fan of Jolie.

[GrinR]

I am so glad I am no longer working in the games publishing industry. That shot of the sad bastard under this chick's boot made me cringe.

Yeah, yeah, she's hot. *yawn* So's my gf.

[Voodoo]

This gal rules! Woooo! :)

[Atorak]

You just wish this new girl had Angelina Jolie's lips don't you. DON'T YOU?!

Angelina's Lips + Karima's Face & Body = Lara Croft v2.0

[Megalith]

I wonder how these models even feel about their job.

I mean, walking around as a video game character. Why.

Sometimes I just walk around campus as Luigi.

[Liquidize105]

She's the poor man's Croft. Still, daddy approves!

Hey I can see her bras, Croft shouldn't wear candy wrappers!

[Ravenlock]

Those boots (http://img19.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc190&image=52206_celebrity_city_Karima_Adebibe_13.jpg) look ridiculous. They look like snow boots for a small child to go out sledding in, spray-painted black.

...She manages to almost make them work, though.

Impressive.

[Sion]

Shes so ugly Id kick her out of bed.

[xcalibur]

You just wish this new girl had Angelina Jolie's lips don't you. DON'T YOU?!

Actually, no. I am quite happy with my wife, who is better looking than both Jolie or this chic.
