rachg82I have a special spammy treat for you guys tonight. My friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lytab5 has been doing her own Hot 25 list (based on afterellen.com's annual Hot 100), and seeing as there are few things I love more than staring at pretty pictures of pretty women, I decided to be a copycat & make one too. Since I also enjoy being difficult, however, I'm making it a Hot 26--for one, because it's my favorite number (what? Hee), and two, because I'm a cheating cheater. I may or may not have also squeezed in two or three women in the place of one for a couple of the numbers. WHAT. They're connected!
I could've done a bigger list, too, but even I hold myself to limits here SOMETIMES. Heh.
…that being said, my limits are kinda weak when faced with OMGGORGEOUSWOMEN, so I'm totes providing two pictures for each hottie. Aaand I'm posting all 26(-ish, haha) winnahs right now, all in one go. It'll be a ~smorgasbord of sexy~.
P.S. Some of these pics approach NSFW, as a heads-up. God bless photographers.
Oh, and before we get started, I feel I should add that I refuse to rank these in any particular order. Heh. Yes, I know I'm supposed to. Remember how I said I'm difficult? I CANNOT CHOOSE BETWEEN MY BABIES. I will at least make up for that though byagonizing over designating a top 10, which will come at the end, along with a #1.
AND AWAY WE GO:
Aishwarya Rai
This woman is just ridiculously pretty. Any hot list without her would be seriously remiss.auroura76 would probably smack me upside the head, too.
Eliza Dushku
Everyone who's imagining her in that second outfit, curled up in a bed with Buffy, right now, raise your hand.
…mmm-hmm. I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.
I'm still sad btw that we didn't get a cameo from SMG on Dollhouse. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Speaking of! Oh, Buffy. I had the hots for you before I even admitted I was bi. Remember that dress you wore in the desert in "Restless"? I know I do. Remember teaching Selma Blair how to kiss? Oh, wait, that was a different character. STILL.
Paula Patton
I first discovered her in "Precious" a couple years back & instantly fell in love. Not only was she great in the film, but she played gay & did that wonderfully as well. Seriously, if I'd been one of the kids in that class, I most def would've been hot for teacher.
*psst: credit for the second pic goes toicedteainthebag, who created that macro for a comment over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
rememberlaura a while back. I hope you don't mind, bb! I couldn't resist it.
Mary McDonnell
I know, I'm ashamed for not putting her in my top 10 too. She will always be the #1 hottest Space Mom around, though. Trufax. And if you don't know who she is, WTF, start watching BSG already. What are you waiting for? LOOK AT THOSE LEGS.
And while I'm on the subject of BSG, here's one of those "watch as Rachael cheats & smuggles three more women in, muahaha"-moments I mentioned above. 'Cause, like, the thing is, EVERY WOMAN ON THAT SHOW IS HOT. What am I supposed to do?
As a compromise, I let myself pick three other BSG hotties to join Mary for this spot. Think of it as a four-way tie. (Mmm, four-way.)
(Grace Park, Tricia Helfer, & Katee Sackhoff)
Sweet Lords of Kobol. The best part? Not only are all three hot--their characters can also open up a can of epic whoop-ass should the need ever arise. Which it usually does. And Laura? Well, I think you'll find that your answer is right here:
YEP, STILL AWESOME. NOT EVEN TERMINAL CANCER CAN STOP THIS WOMAN FROM WINNING ALL THAT THERE IS TO WIN.
Regina King
For those of you still not watching Southland, let me explain three reasons why she makes Det. Lydia Adams one hot-ass HBIC:
1. She's good at her job.
2. She's too serious & a smart-ass all at the same time. Lethal combination.
3. When I say that she doesn't take any shit, I mean she will chase you down with a muthafrakkin' shotgun if you cross her. LIKE A BOSS.
Annie Erin Clark (a.k.a. St. Vincent)
This woman has the most oddly beautiful face--so delicate & enigmatic. On top of that, she clearly has a great mind, going by the versatility, skill, & innovation of her music. I adore her.
Marion Cotillard
C'mon: the face, the accent? I don't think I even need to explain this one. Unlike most people I know online, I enjoyed "Inception" without going all fangirl-crazy over it; however, I probably would watch it again just for her.
Cate Blanchett
I've had a crush on her ever since "Elizabeth." That film basically owned me as a teenager (not the sequel though--that one was horrible). It doesn't get much more HBIC-licious than a freakin' queen. And, you know, she said "I am no man's Elizabeth," not "I am no woman's Elizabeth," SO. I'm just sayin'. KEEP HOPE ALIVE.[/Jesse Jackson] Haha.
Cat Deeley
I don't so much have the lusty hots for my girl here, but she IS objectively hot, and more importantly, I lovelovelove her. I want to squish her at least once an episode on So You Think You Can Dance. It is a cruel, cruel injustice that she still hasn't won an Emmy for hosting that show.
Freida Pinto
Some of you will remember her from "Slumdog Millionaire", which is where I discovered her as well. Not a lot to say about this one other than, hello: pretty.
Emma Caulfield
Most of my love for this woman is centered around her role as Anya (in Buffy), but that's okay because my love for Anya is big enough to go around. Straight-up, she was & still is my favorite character on that show. The fact that I don't have any icons for her is yet another cruel injustice.
Jennifer Connelly
I've crushed on this woman ever since she played a lesbian in "Higher Learning." I fell in love with her all over again in "Requiem For a Dream" and "A Beautiful Mind." She's just--gah.
Tamara Taylor
As if I wouldn't include Catwoman. Girl, please. My inner child would never forgive me (on a side-note? I was pretty much obsessed with Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman as a kid. If this list were longer, she'd certainly be on it too).
Also: Cam is awesomesauce. Fresh dead; long-time dead. HOMIES 4 LIFE, SON!
Rachel McAdams
She's gorgeous even if she doesn't spell her name right (hee.[/biased]). Also, I hear her hair is insured for $10,000.
…tied with:
Julia Ormond & Karina Lombard
Like I said--a cheating cheater. Heh. But COME ON, they were both in "Legends of the Fall" together! I have to add though that I mainly love Karina for her role in The L Word. Ngh, Marina.
And, finally:
THE TOP TEN:
*drumroll*
Hee. All right, I'm not gonna do these in any particular order either (aside from #1. She'll come last), but at least I picked a top 10! God knows that was hard enough.
Parker Posey
Ohhh, Parker Posey. I have wanted you ever since "Dazed & Confused." I even liked you & your funky braces in "Best in Show." YOU ARE FABULICIOUS.
P.S. "AIR RAID, YOU LITTLE FRESHMAN BITCHES!"
Haha. One of my favorite movies ever, for reals. It played on cable the other day, before my TV went out, and I got SO EXCITED. I hadn't seen it in forever.
Portia de Rossi
My infatuation with Portia goes back a loooong time. First, my little teenaged self couldn't stop gazing (complete with cartoon hearts floating all around my head. Y'know. The usual) at her pretty pulled-back hair & severe black suits on Ally McBeal. Then I found out she was gay & just about lost my shit. THEN I saw her on Arrested Development, which…yeah. BEST. If you don't know, you'd better ask somebody!
Zooey Deschanel
I can't imagine anyone NOT thinking she's hot. The big blue eyes, the cute voice, the quirky personality? Seriously. Fold already.
Julianne Moore
Okay, that second picture is so pretty it's ridonkeykongulous. My God.
Anyway, so: Julianne Moore. You know you love her. You could be straight for all I know & still love her. She's JULIANNE MOORE. Lovely & talented & elegant & aging like a block of fine cheese: getting better & better with every year.
Also, she kisses ladies in her movies a lot. We like that 'round these parts. Aaand she kinda looks like Scully. I'm just sayin'.
Olivia Williams
Oh, GOD, do I love this woman. She rocked it hard as an HBIC on Dollhouse, and I'm still not quite over the fact that I don't get to watch her on my TV screen every week anymore. COME BACK TO ME, ADELLE.
Famke Janssen
Thanks to this woman, I will never be able to hear a fake Russian accent again without going weak in the knees. DAMN YOU, GOLDENEYE.
I will also apparently be forever doomed to watch crappy movies like this on the Chiller network in the middle of the night, much as I did last week. Heh. She gets it on with Chuck from Gossip Girl in that one!
Lauren Graham
First off, this woman is hilarious. Smart & hilarious. Smart & hilarious & talented & goofy AAAND sexy. SO MANY THINGS. HOW DOES SHE FIT THEM ALL IN ONE BODY? And yet? She does.
Honestly, I dare you to watch this interview & not laugh.
JAUNTY WOODLAND PATHS. Hahaha.
Gillian Anderson
What kind of self-respecting X-Phile would I be if I didn't put my homegirl here in the top 10? She is sassy, pint-sized (the shorty in me appreciates that), intelligent, strong-willed, & beautiful. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Mary Louise Parker
This woman has been on my hot list since "Fried Green Tomatoes." I still ship Idgie & Ruth to this day. Then, as if that weren't enough, she did Weeds. Now, I'm not one to throw around the word "MILF", but, hey--I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
More than anything else though, I'll always love her for this vid:
Try & tell me you've ever heard someone say "flip flop" with a cuter accent. YOU CAN'T.
And, at last, here's your Captain of the Hot Tamale Train…
#1:
Emily Deschanel!
Do I even NEED to explain this one? A. She plays Brennan, B. I love Brennan, and C. the following:
-her eyes
-her voice
-her ears (what? They're cute)
-her adorbs personality
-her intellect
-her talent
-her crazy laugh
-her smile
-her breasts (I'M JUST SAYING)
-her legs
-her MAGNIFICENT hips
…should I continue?
No? I didn't think so. *waves smelling salts under all your noses* Heh.
THANK YOU & GOOD NIGHT.
Hope you guys enjoyed! If you want to make your own Hot 25 (or 26, hee) list, please do. It'd be fun to see everyone's picks.
For my Vid of the Day, let's do an Arrested Development one (by saxmankk) since I'm rewatching season 1 right now on teh interwebz (blessed Hulu) & thus spent most of last night giggling like a fool. Then I checked to see if there was any news about a possible movie & watched recent interviews on YouTube with the creator/cast confirming everyone's on board now & A SCRIPT IS CURRENTLY BEING WRITTEN. I don't want to get too excited before it's actually green-lit, BUT: STEVE HOLT!
