Did this creep into Firefly, or was it a genuine and interesting plot device to keep Mal & Inara "Moonlighting?"

Which begs the question: are there obese or ugly Companions?

Ugly is fetishized in some circles, for an escort to a classy social event a client might want a plain Companion so they're not outshone by the arm candy, and you can't tell me you've seen dollhouse and say that a heavy girl can't be gorgeous in her own right.

As for Inara's job, in the writing it's a plot device. Whenever Joss uses her job to springboard into risque or steamy territory, though, that's Author Appeal. Hey, they all have it, even the girls. I'm surprised Jane Espensen didn't treat herself to some eye candy in the episodes she wrote.

She does have nice red hair and green eyes, though.

I mean, pretty is relative. Like, Felicia Day. She's not a classic beauty, like face structure wise.

But she's Felicia Day, there's something about the way she looks that's refreshing, you know? She has some kind of quality. I'd call her pretty even if she doesn't fit the usual definition.

You mean forced to whore in that barren rock of Hollywood.
