Day 276 of 365 days.
About a year ago, I was having a conversation with people about the annual sexiest women/men alive surveys that a lot of magazines do. I decided to run my own version of the contest on my blog. I gave people one week to vote on who they believe the top 10 sexiest women in the world were. I used a weighted scoring system. If you ranked a woman #10 she got one point. #9 gave her two points. And so on, all the way up to #1 which was worth ten points. In all 437 votes were collected on 53 ballots for 218 women and as I had predicted we ended up with a Top 10 Sexiest Women that was quite similar to the ones being offered by Maxim, FHM, and Stuff magazines, but different as well.
My version of the list was so successful and good in fact, that I managed to drive the US version of FHM magazine out of business. (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it).
Now, I’m doing it again. I’d like the survey to be even more successful this year, so I figure I might as well get votes from all my flickr friends as well. So here’s what I need you to do. Comment on this picture. Or comment in my blog. Tell me whatever you want about the picture, but also, vote. Tell me the top 10 sexiest women alive today. You can judge on whatever criteria you want. Just pick ten and list them in order. Voting closes at 12:01AM eastern on Tuesday, May 22nd. I’ll tabulate the results and post them. It should be very fun.
Oh, and tell all your friends to come vote too. This should be fun.
In other news, did another Tarot shoot today. Hopefully I’ll get the card up soon.
Wow…first.
I like this idea, I want to play but I will have to come back. This is serious business ya know.
Oh yeah, nice shot.
@PhotoKat: hehehe… are you gonna vote too? — oh, you must have editted. Sounds cool. Don’t forget. I’d love to hear what your votes are.
I’ll vote. I have to put my list together though. funny shot mav!

All right, all right! I’m here with the TRUTH now! The true test of truly sexy is when you can hold onto the sexy into maturity and old age! Now THAT’S a sexy woman! Here’s my list of 10 in all of it’s diversity… all ages, colors, shapes and sizes – and ALL sexy!
1. Lena Horne – if you don’t know, go check her out!
2. Halle Berry – you ought to know
3. Lauren Bacall – you don’t even have to see her, just hear her voice!
4. Sade – I guarantee you she can sing you out of anything you’ve got
5. Angelina Jolie – the girl is just hot
6. Sophia Loren – classic classy
7. Beyonce Knowles – bootilicious of course
8. Queen Latifah – if any of you thought bigger girls couldn’t be sexy, shame on you!
9. Mary J. Blige – ditto # 5 and just coming into herself
10. Christina Aguilera – ditto #s 9 & 5
thank you all for your votes. Please keep sending other people here to vote for the next week. I’m off to a slow start this time, but I’d really like to see 100 votes this time around.
Do men really find rib bones attractive?
@beststephi: you still haven’t voted. And it depends on the guy. In general, men like skinnier women and that would be a side effect of that, so yeah. For me, its more about the stomach though. As a general rule, when modelling, the more in tension the body is, the more attractive it will be. For female models, this involves streetching and elongating the body to get the right curve. The visible ribs accentuate that.
Steph, visible ribs are unattractive, IMO, and the chick on that cover is too skinny. Obviously, different men have different tastes in women. Don’t let the media fool you into thinking that thin women are universally attractive.
@MegaBee: it’s not us, it’s the media. it’s not us, it’s the media. Oh look, Mike Wallace!
@Mav: Damn, I’m on MLK again!
@MegaBee: one, two, fo’, five. I can count too. Countin’ these biotch.
