Regardless of whether or not I agree with their picks, the sheer meanness of that list is off-putting. Perhaps the editors would like to run their pictures in a sidebar and let us rank their sexiness.
I gotta agree with Miko. A similar list of women would provoke outrage (and be equally inaccurate to some). Plus they put Lemmy on the list. Fuckin' Lemmy.
And of course this kind of thing is totally subjective. I know for me looks have very little to do with sexiness. Steve Buscemi = sexy. Tom Cruise/Mel Gibson = absolute total unsexiness.
I think the only truly handsome man I find sexy is George Clooney, and much of that is because he's intelligent, smart, sharp and doesn't appear to take himself too seriously.
There are similar women, essex. Kirsten Vangsness and Marisa Jarett Winokur, conventionally speaking, aren't the prettiest woman out there, but they radiate friendliness, smarts and confidence, which trumps all the fluffy soft focus Julia Roberts/Pam Anderson femme fatale shit.
me, too, but they're a) not skinny and b)geeky and goofy which kind of locks them out of the conventional 'sex symbol' box, sadly.
and signal, I don't think that Julia & Pam look at all similar, I just think they are both overrated as sex symbols, even though I think Pamela has come a long way as a comic actress, since she seems to have a sense of humor about her image.
I would do probably about 60 percent of that list (Mike Mills? Mike D? Hell yeah.). And the 40 percent would be rejected because they are Republicans or have some other fundamental moral flaw.
And despite the fact that Dennis Miller has joined the dark side, I would probably still do him. But in an angry way.
Thank you very much dgaicun. I looked at that picture just as I'm about to go off to bed. I have never heard of carrot top before but he will haunt my nightmares now.
And he was probably making bad puns the whole time, like "you've heard of a Karate chop", and had dumb visual props, like one of those beanie propeller hats while flying. I feel you, that's terrifying on so many levels.
