Hot 100, as picked by thinking, feeling people

Clearly, what straight men and lesbians find sexy in a woman is a little bit different.

For a group - lesbian - that is horribly stereotyped to stereotype another group - men - is rather sad. Frankly I find their list of 100 hot women to be far better than anything I have ever seen from the likes of Maxim and FHM. I’m glad they put the list together and highlighted women with a bit of class but there is no need to class all men under the Maxim/FHM reading banner. I find lad mags to be on par with tabloids and women’s mags that parade size 0 models as paragons of beauty.

An unavoidable though still slightly disappointing aspect of the list though is the predominance of “she is a lesbian so I’m voting for her!” results.

And to all the 16 year old boys out there; get over the lesbian thing already. Beavis and Butthead can snigger, you don’t need to.

    I agree, it's refreshing to see an alternative list with the promise of more thought having gone into it. Sadly having quickly leafed through the list (purely for research purposes ;) ) I fear that the promise may have been a pretense. The top slots are dominated by females who have either starred in the "L Word" or have been widely acknowledged to be bisexual at some time or another or have starred in lesbian-styled roles. As you say you kinda have to ignore that to an extent given the context. However, if the schedule was even slightly biased to the weighting of classic and timeless beauty then one has to question the positioning of Ellen DeGeneres above contenders such as Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman, not that I'm a great fan of either. Subjectivity, eye of the beholder and all that there are a few that I would have included in that list who don't even get a mention. Perhaps there'll never truly be a list that isn't somewhat biased to the choosing parties...
