Our erstwhile Shane has a quick profile in the NY Times today that’s remarkably similar to the last one, though now she’s talking about her role in Guardians instead of her role in that show we’ve erased from our memories. She’s playing a “heterosexual bumpkin” caught up in the Abu Gharib scandal, and loosely modeled after Pvt. Lynndie England. What caught our eye though was the writer’s lingering gaze on Moennig’s—what’s the word?—androgyny.

In ripped stovepipe jeans and velvet Gucci jacket, which both cling to her angular frame like a second skin, Ms. Moennig, who possesses the bone structure and metabolism of a gazelle, an angelic sulk and a smoker’s cough (her latest role demands a few antsy puffs), does not so much bend as transcend gender.

And in case you, like us, were wondering about her hair:

She smothers Shane’s trademark eye-obscuring postmodern shag haircut beneath a one-size-fits-all knitted skullcap.
