I came to realize that Perrey Reeves (who is currently 42) the actress who plays Melissa Gold aka Mrs. Ari (Ari Gold's wife) in HBO's highly successful series Entourage may be a blueprint of how a 40-year old woman could look like. Or rather how any woman 20 years her junior should look like. I understand that her body type may be not for everyone, and she certainly could be a few pounds heavier and/or more curvier and still pull the hot, sexy look. This is not just a courtesy saying that Perrey Reeves looks incredibly younger now, but that by any universal definition she is beyond smoking hot, and her tight, lite body @40 years of age looks better than most 18 y.o. I'm sure this comes as a result of an incredible healthy lifestyle (I imagine her munching on celery sticks and doing cardio and yoga in her free time). In other words, Perrey Reeves makes a conscious effort to be and maintain to be the best incredible physical specimen she can be. But, she also never had any children. Do you think that lack of biological children is the predominant factor in her incredible looks? Or do you think her body would be nearly as flawless as it is if she had two kids like Mrs. Ari - the character she portrays.
Furthermore, here is where it gets interesting for me: Ari Gold -- a TV epitome of an alpha male if there ever was one -- is portrayed as a ruthless Hollywood player with misogynist and sexist tendencies, but at the same time as a loving father and loyal husband who after a dozen years of marriage has never strayed (despite his incredible potential pull yielded through his power player status, wealth, professional and social prestige, etc.). In other words, Mr. Ari could have pretty much any woman in Hollywood he wants (on the side, if not as main course) but he doesn't want any of them. All he wants is Mrs. Ari.
And Mrs. Ari is portrayed not only as a top physical specimen who seduces her husband in skimpy lingerie every chance she gets, but is often also shown chomping vegetables in the kitchen, or dealing with their two children. She is also never seen as a true nagging wife, the closest to it comes in the form of requests that Mr. Ari spends more time with her and their kids (his family). And isn't that a positive trait (a loving wife and mother): because we all know that many housewives in her situation would be happy to have their husbands at work as long as possible while they shop or get serviced by a pool guy.
Hence, the question: is Mrs. Ari the epitome of a perfect woman? Isn't that all we want from a LTR: a smoking hot, lingerie-clad feminine vixen in bed without an ounce of fat looking 20 years younger. A traditional, loving, supportive wife. A devoted, caring mother. Every positive female role fulfilled, exemplified and amplified.
And what does she gets in return?
Mr. Ari who not only brings home the bacon, but rules the empire. While loving only her emotionally and sexually.
Perrey Reeves agrees:
"Perrey says she wouldn’t have anyone else as her fictional one and only. “He’s really fun and spontaneous. He’s always a surprise. He has an incredibly sexy charisma,” she says. “I truly have the best on-screen husband.”
Match made in (scriptwriting) heaven, or a real-life possibility? What do you think? Would you settle with Mrs. Ari?
