BarbWire Duquesne
Back in 2002 when we started watching CSI Miami we were kind of enamored with the young blonde girl whose character was named "Calleigh Duquesne" . One thing that stood out was her oh so funny voice. It was high pitched and kind of squeaky - so we dubbed it "Mickey Mouse" voice. Emily Procter -who plays Calleigh Duqesne - wore blouses nobody had worn since 1890: all ruffled and buttoned up. And her hair-styles! Braids in all shapes and sizes. Brrr....
In season 4 a noticeable change happened. Gone were the blouses and the little girl voice. Calleigh "was allowed" to wear her hair open more often in a more becoming style.
In season 5 the docile character has all but vanished. The necklines plunged with every episode. The "new Calleigh" shows an open sexiness which is nice but also can be distracting sometimes. Further, a (uncalled for) toughness has emerged. Here is where we scratch our heads.
Calleigh is a character who hasn't suffered too many hardships (as compared to HoCaine and Eric Delko) which would warrant such a change of behavior.
We think the reason behind this very noticeable change is that the writers had to make Emily Procter's character more peculiar so that she won't be overshadowed by luscious Eva la Rue as Natalia Boa Vista.
Hopefully, the writers will tone it down a bit again. Calleigh Duquesne stands out as a character - WITHOUT boobs, leather and Latex.
