What's up with her face? Sometimes it looks good. Other times, it seems as if she has a ton of water retention under her skin, making her face look fat and pudgy. Especially that face up there ^^^ reminds me of yoda

uh, I just read up there that she is/was recently pregnant.

so....dude.

I'm referring to her photos from back when she wasn't pregnant. There's also a face morph of hers in the HBO documentary "The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley".

She wasn't pregnant on these dates. It's like at times she starts consuming too much sodium containing foods and that leads to her looking bloated.

She is mix of French and English descent. Not exactly something that usually turns out photogenic. With French lineage....they happen to be their most attractive come 16 through 20 years of age.

The best scam artists are those who don't show a crack in their veneer. She is just the one of many convincing humans, both male and female, that have walked this planet. Just that she suckered big fishes. She is in essence, no different from any other worker in a profession that values sales. Car salesmen, real estate agents, life insurance. She just wooed venture capitalists.

Probably the best part of armory was indeed both dressing down and changing her voice in a manner to deflect the "dumb, hot blonde" stereotype that gets triggered when they dress in the more normal and common fashions. Smart and "in tune" there.

(This is not praise, just an evaluation.)
Did she actually change her voice?

In school. she was always the last girl on the running track in races. That might have psychologically damaged her brain patterns to think about winning at any cost, even if it meant deception at a grand scale. She likely even now thinks of her current troubles with the law as just a snag in her road to great fame and fortune. I read somewhere that she already has her next world-changing plan ready to execute, as long as annoying law people stop bothering her and let her get on with doing good for the world (/sarcasm).
Well, there's also genetics and unconscious "schooling" by the parents own tendencies. The parents were in the rich yet scum lands. Mom was a congressional staffer and dad and Enron exec. Having a façade of steel and exploiting human presumption gets well practiced by people in such occupations, and other similar occupations like law, real estate.

I personally have come across two children of real estate agents and boy, are they pieces of shit who know how to do oratory. Presents themselves very well. Look you in the eye, say things without hesitation, and are total pieces of destructive, immoral shit on the inside.

I've always wondered about her voice. I wonder how she fakes it so well, I don't think my wife could talk that low at all, much less through a full interview.
My mother and sister have low registers in which they have been mistaken for a male over the phone.

But Holmes literally sounds like a bassoon, and neither my sis or mom sound like that.

Holmes recounts sexual, emotional abuse by Theranos exec Balwani | Ars Technica

Holmes’ attorney Kevin Downey then showed the court a text message thread between Holmes and Balwani from November 30, 2013, two days after Thanksgiving. In it, Balwani told Holmes, “when ur family is here I feel very lonely.”
“He’s angry with me because he felt when my family came for Thanksgiving, he felt neglected,” she said. “This is one of the nights where he, crying, came upstairs and did things to me that I didn’t want and hurt me.”
After another time she said Balwani raped her, she wrote a note on her iPhone, which said, “Don’t enjoy literally anything about it or who I am if I did it. Hurts so much. So so much. Can’t focus on anything except why? Why hurting myself? Can’t even move let alone do sit-ups or actually sit up. Lying swollen. Literally.
Later, she texted Balwani, “My job is to love you when you’re stressed.”
“I know,” he replied.

She's a very, very disturbed person. Definitely an immature little girl trapped in a woman's body, who was groomed by Balwani to be who she became. Or at least, that's what she and her lawyers want us to believe. I'm truly torn on my feelings about her now. Can't really decide if she's the victim or the cunning fox who can lie her way through anything. I wonder if the jury is going through these exact thoughts...

Not sure how any of that has to do with the case.

She knew she was seeking snake water, doesn't matter if she had terrible things happen to her before hand.

Maybe it's her father's talents at work. You know, he was able to get free rent from a neighbor after falling on some allegedly hard times. She outdid her father by a mile and got billions from suckers.

I know the Mclean area even though I've never lived there. It's across the Potomac and it's full of wealthy people who tend to lean "blue". Very nice pickings when searching on craigslist free, btw. Those neighbors were you nice guy wealthy people and likely got fooled by daddy Holmes' quasi-sociopathic tendencies(being a corporate exec usually develops that).

Just listened to the American Scandal: Theranos podcast. Definitely comes across as a manipulative fraud. Just hoping the jury sees thru her acting.
