The Women Of Dollhouse: 5 Things You Didn't Know

This article is sponsored in part by Dollhouse (What's this?)

Dollhouse, by TV virtuoso Joss Whedon, features some of the most beautiful women on television. They play "Dolls" whose memory can be wiped clean and programmed to do any deeds customers need. While the seedy possibilities of such a storyline turn our pysches into fantasy overload, we’d rather hang out with the actresses themselves.

While Hollywood is notorious for being full of animated mannequins that call themselves actors and pretend to be real people, the women of Dollhouse do things like hunt, track bears, cover “Tin Man” with tiny guitars, and live in Nepal. As if being amazingly beautiful weren’t enough, they have to be cool as well.

1- Eliza Dushku goes bow hunting

We’re not sure how Brad “Fat Stuff” Penny did it, but he landed the goddess Eliza Dushku for a while. The pitching ace even convinced the self-described New England liberal to take up bow hunting. She talked about it on Jimmy Kimmel Live, to the audience’s horror. Dushku argued she eats what she kills and PETA responded: “Eliza, please meet Jeffrey Dahmer. He ate those he killed, too.” We hope Dushku teaches her new boyfriend Rick Fox to hunt, he’d look hilarious stalking through the woods in bright orange.

2- Dichen Lachman was conceived in Japan and born in Kathmandu

Her mother is Tibetan and her father is Australian. The world-traveling, international-banging couple raised their daughter in both Kathmandu and Australia. Living in Nepal for the first seven years of her life, her family relocated to Adelaide, Australia. Lachman is a walking argument against racism. Just parade her in front of any KKK rally and argue: “Look, idiots, this is what you get when different races mate, super hot chicks! Interracial beauties with accents! Don’t we want more of Dichen?” They would take off their sheets, drape them back over their mattresses, and head to the first nearby hostel to meet international ladies.

3- Miracle Laurie plays the ukulele

Growing up around the Hawaiian community in Huntington Beach, California, Laurie learned hula and Polynesian dance. Her mother, sisters and she began an all-female Hawaiian group. At first, she just danced, but then her sister taught her the ukulele. Falling in love with the instrument, she went home and taught her man, Christopher May, to play. They decided to start a ukulele cover band called Uke Box Heroes. On their MySpace page, they have covers of “Tin Man,” “Falling Slowly” and “You Belong to Me.” Who knew nerds can be so hot?
