Who's Sexy Who Shouldn't Be Considered Sexy?

[KevinCarr]

I just saw an ad for that Orbit gum. You know the one with the British blonde girl who says "Fabulous" at the end. Does anyone else find her sexy as hell, or is it just me?

And for some strange reason, I also find Melanie Deanne Moore (the "Voice of Reason" from the GLAD ads - the one who says, "Sugar Ray Leonard is MAD!") really sexy.

And although I hate the show, Paige Davis from "Trading Spaces" is really hot too. And don't get me started on Tina Fey from SNL. Those glasses are sexy!

Am I just weird?

[Eric Campos]

I think Rocky Dennis is sexy!

[Rory L. Aronsky]

"Fabulous! Orbit cleans another dirty mouth."

Yeah, I'll let her clean something off of me. Ummm...what post was this again?

[Doug_Brunell]

... feeling a nice sensation in my lap, looking down and seeing the top of Arnold Schwarzennegger's head. Now that is sexy.

[Seedy Edgewick]

Kirsten Dunst, man. When the trailer for Spider-Man came out, I paused it one this one particularly delicious frame. It's right after the "upside down" kiss, when Spidey hoists himself skyward and Kirsten smiles up at him. It's raining, she's soaked, and we all know what happens to certain parts of the female anatomy upon exposure to cold, wet conditions.

Man.

[Pete Vonder Haar]

Caroline Rhea in "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch." I can't explain it.

Pete

[El Duderino Diablo]

Kim Cattrall in Big Trouble in Little China.
:sigh:
I think I need therapy.

[KevinCarr]

Another confession...

Megan Mulalley on Will & Grace.

Can't explain why.

[Furious D]

This is a list of women who I find sexy.

1. .Allyson Hannigan ex-Willow, what can I say? I have a weakness for redheads.

2. Leah Pinsent Canadian actress last seen on the Canadian satire of the movie business called "Made in Canada" or "The Industry" in the USA. Sexy, but in a classical old-Hollywood kind of way.

3. Molly Parker Another Canadian actress, and another redhead. God I need help.

4. Amber Benson Her unique beauty enlivened the old Buffy show when she was on it. She was missed after they killed her character off.

[BradleyGibson]

Eliza Dushku.... the dark haired Slayer rocks... she stomps Buffy in every category.

Also, whoever said Fairuza Balk: Amen Brother.

Oh yeah, and for the absolutely most obvious pick: Salma Hayek. She was so amazing in Frida. Talent and amzing good looks... and we wonder why Edward Norton has that smirk on his face....

[Gabitsch]

The question is, "Who's sexy who shouldn't be considered sexy?" So, who looks really good, but we shouldn't admit it? Some weird, puritanical loathing of our own bodies? I don't get it.

Elsa Lanchester. Hubba hubba. ESPECIALLY as Mary Shelley.

I think what Kevin's getting at is those who aren't normally considered sexy in real life or played a part not meant to be sexy in reel life, like your choice of Elsa Lanchester.
:tup:

Seems most are singling out women who would still be considered smokin' hot whilst seen wearing a pair of stained boxers and wife beater, gnoshing on a foot long tuna fish sub, scratching at their crotch and recovering from a week long drinking binge.

Seriously, Eliza Dushku and Fairuza Balk? How could they not be scorching hot?
On second thought don't answer that, this thread could get really gross.
;)

[Gabitsch]

Elsa Lanchester as Mary Shelley: Absolutely, drop-dead gorgeous.

Elsa Lanchester as the Bride of Frankenstein: A honey, even with the hair and scars. I'd risk a beating from Karloff for some of that.

Elsa Lanchester now: Why yes, I do believe I WILL "go there." This is a joke, of course.

You know who looks great? That chick from "Freddy vs. Jason." Couldn't act her way into the line at Luby's, but she's super nice to look at.

B-movie queens Debbie Rochon and Tiffany Shepis get a vote from me as well.

[Gabitsch]

Sarah Silverman, who used to be on "Mr. Show." Funny as hell, which makes her twice as attractive. Funny women are kryptonite to smart dudes. Unless they're ugly. I don't care if she can recite all of "Rant in E Minor," if she's missing half her face, it's not happening.

Unless she's Elsa Lanchester, because that is to be expected.

[fortunesfool]

Kathleen Quinlan. Theres just something about her. When she's all dusty in 'Breakdown'. GRRR!

[Ricky Retardo]

Man, hands down (down where? ) Gabrielle Union is one of the hottest ladies in film today. And with all her choices she's made (Cradle 2 Th' Grave, Bad Boys 2, Deliver Us From Eva) she seems content to be a A list B Queen.

Overrated? Where to begin? How about with Carmen Electra for one and Denise Richards for another.

[KevinCarr]

Yeah, but you gotta admit that Denise Richards was GREAT in "Wild Things." She gave us the two biggest reasons to see that movie.

[El Duderino Diablo]

Damn skippy! Wild Things would've been so much better if only Neve Campbell had followed Richards' example.
:sigh:

[automanic]

I think we could all agree that Naomi Watts is sexy, but she seems to get most of her press from Mulholland Falls and The Ring. I'd say she never looked better than she did in Tank Girl, playing the part of Jet Girl. (She's all skinny now, dammit! Why does Hollywood make its leading ladies into sacks of bones with eyeliner?)

I gots two...

Lauren Graham-- "Gilmour Girls" is actually a decently written show, but when a friend of mine began to torment me for watching a "chix show" I pointed out how she looks in a pair of tight jeans and he fell silent for the rest of the program.

Ellen Muth-- She plays the lead in "Dead Like Me". She doesn't strike you initially, but when she smiles in spite of herself I can see licking popcorn off her belly while lying on the floor as we both heckle "The English Patient".

Granted, my fantasies won't appear in Penthouse Forumn....

[El Duderino Diablo]

Crystal Bernard (Wings). Don't ask.

I find this question far more interesting - Why is Britney Spears (BS for short) considered sexy? Because she kissed Madonna? (not even that would help Dennis Rodman) Has anyone seen that clip from Scary Movie 3 with Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy (I saw on home page of tvguide.com today). All I can say is B:eek: :eek: BS. You know, it's an attempt at forced sexiness- very unsexy IMO.

[C J Hyatt]

I don't know what it was about her, but something about her changed that show from "amusing" to "must see".

Also, Sofia Coppola. That long face and those kind of buck teeth turn me on.

And also that gal in the "progressive insurance" commercial who shrinks her cheating boyfriend's head with voodoo ... damn, that gal is hot!

[Westerken]

Lois Griffin.
