No, unnatural skin color looks good only in comics but on TV it doesn't. Mystique looked great on the pages of the comics but not on the screen of TV. But I do like unnatural hair colors, though. And the eye ones, too. I'd love to have such cat-like golden eyes like the alien girl from the clip for "Fell in Love With an Alien" by Kelly Family had or such blue all over ones, like in Dune and I often indeed imagine a pair of such ones shines in my face.

I think some of that maybe due to the changes they made in the movie concerning Mystique's look. They made her kind of scaly and snake-like, plus they decided to keep her unclothed in her 'real' form. In the comics, she at least forms the white robe with the skull chain. I think it would have helped a bit if the movie kept a bit closer to the comics and simply coloured Rebecca Romeijn's skin blue while also giving her the iconic white costume.

Don't you think Nightcrawler worked out a bit better in X2?

Someone else remembers that song? Huh.

But it's just about the fact she had her skin so dark - maybe she'd generally look much better if she was light blue and not navy blue, scales have nothing to do with her ugliness in the movies. Generally colors not existing in nature don't look good on people in movies, the same as comic heroes' costumes.

In Poland of the 90's, the Kelly Family was very popular then. I remember at one point, one of the teen mags, "Bravo", published a profile of one of the members of the band in every issue (the same was about Backstreet Boys) - I don't remember if it came out once a week or once a month, though.

I would never dye my hair, but I like unnatural hair colors on other people. I find blue hair especially pretty.
As for abnormal skin color, I find it just disgusting.

I like to see the odd pea head every now and again. :P
