The New Lara Croft is Ridiculously Sexy
Lara Croft - Tomb Raider (DVD)
Attention nerds: Boobies.
Now that I have your attention, hit the jump to for some titillating pictures of Alison Carroll, the new face of real-life iconic adventurer Lara Croft.
Ok, now that we’re safely off the main page, take a gander at Alison Carroll, a 23 year-old gymnast and the new face of the Tomb Raider franchise.

Eidos is reinventing Lara Croft with a little more realism (in some places, anyway) by making her a more lithe, graceful gymnast type to match her personality as an adventuresome archeologist, so Carroll fits the bill.
“Tomb Raider: Underworld depicts Lara as we have never seen her before with movements and skills reminiscent of a highly skilled gymnast. Sharing Lara’s strength and grace, Alison is an experienced competitive gymnast who has performed and competed across the globe. Her more than 12 years of gymnastics training align perfectly with the game’s enhanced movement set.”
Plus, she has the “essential characteristics…” giggity!
“Featuring the essential characteristics at the core of Lara Croft’s personality — brawn, brains and beauty — Alison Carroll particularly compliments this iteration of Ms. Croft.”
I can just see the meeting where they wrote that press release:
PR Writer 1: Hey… um… what are the essential characteristics of Lara Croft?
PR Writer 2: Dur. Boobies man. Everyone knows that.
PR 1: No, I mean beyond that. We can’t just come out and say “ZOMG BOOBIES!!1!”
PR 2: Why not?
PR 1: … Good question.
PR 2: Ok, well lets see. She kicks ass, solves puzzles and is every nerd’s wet dream.
PR 1: So… brawn, brains and beauty?
PR 2: Perfect. Now let’s head down to that photo shoot. Bring your camera phone.
In addition to being completely and utterly sexy, Carroll is flexible, personable, has eyes you could lose yourself in, and to top it all off, a British accent. Check the video interview, but be wary, you may fall in love enough to actually buy the game.
