ETA it has been THREE WHOLE MINUTES and no one has responded. This is like pulling teeth.

Pretty can change to "fairly hot" based on very small, subtle changes in the makeup, etc...
Beautiful is kind of an old fart's word. I think the chick from Gone With the Wind when I hear it. It's a dead archetype, used almost exclsuively by old people to describe "classically" attractive people whose looks and image deviate from the hypersexualized standard of beauty today.
The strangest are those people who are just a shade from really hot, but the one defect they have is so important it knocks them from hot down to barely not unattractive. I knew a girl in law school who had all the classic elements of a reall European runway hottie (thin, sinewy, high Italian cheekbones). But she had a neck too long and a hockey player's nose. Queered the whole deal.
