I think Katerina Witt is a spectacular choice. Just a stunningly beautiful woman, her playboy spread was one that I looked forward to more than any other ever when I heard about it.

Shania was a heck of a pick, and Witt was solid too. Still have another in mind for singer.

And...Seka? Really?? You'd think you might have...oh right, I guess I can't name them yet. But at least pick an American here.

Anyone covered by The Superficial.

[Buccaneer]

I was going to say something about the Seka pick but that would be TMI.

[lordscarlet]

In an era when sex appeal was defined by classiness, she was the classiest of them all.

2. Celebrity Actor, 8.8, Audrey Hepburn
3. Celebrity No-Talent, 6.8, Vanna White
4. Celebrity Athlete, 2.8, Jennie Finch
5. Appeals to Younger Men
6. Appeals to Younger Women
7. Appeals to Older Men, 7.3, Sophia Loren
8. Appeals to Older Women, 3.3, Ashton Kutcher
9. Fictional (Literary), 5.3, Wonder Woman
10. Fictional (Theatrical), 1.3, Princess Leia Organa

You have to consider her in her prime.
She was a huge star and sex symbol in her day.

A lot of these picks are not looking so hot anymore.

No, sorry.

Cher is enough to make a guy's balls go back up in his stomach.

I hope you do not consider her as she currently looks.

Because that would basically make her a duplicate of the Madonna pick.

[Radii]

damn wade, that is one of the best pictures of selma hayek I've ever seen, and I've certainly google'd for her before! Need a couple on my next pick.

She just has a flesh wound.

[Buccaneer]

Not one of your best picks. How does she fit in that category?

[Maple Leafs]

This has been a strange draft.

Put it this way: somebody picked a cartoon rabbit, and that isn't even the discussion for top ten oddest picks.

[Radii]

depends on your interpretaton of the category I guess? My interpretation is "old school hotties" not "old women"

Just like Madonna has extra appeal to me no matter what she does now because of when I grew up, someone who was in movies in the 50s and 60s would have extra appeal to someone in my parents generation... at least that is what I envisioned that category intending.

Danica? She's 4'11" and bow legged. There's nothing hot about her. Maybe it's sexy when he hair's blowing in the wind as she's in last place.[/Daniel Tosh]

[Lathum]

as yes, Jessica Rabbit voiced by....

[IMG][/IMG]

[korme]

Danica Patrick is very overrated I will agree.

Elisha Cuthbert was a good pick, and I can't wait to see Lathum's last two picks lol

I interpret that to be completely different, as in older men now (and how one defines 'old'). I think you can pick anyone that guys over 30 would like, including boomers (like Farrah), as oppose to what the kids like (Scarlett). Going back to the 40s or 50s would be really old men, which means nothing to nearly everyone here - including me, dammit. Like in all drafts, if you want to win, you go with what will get the votes here.

From reading other threads I was under the impression most FOFCers considered her hot and I expected her to be the 3rd athlete taken.

[wade moore]

I had to flip a coin to choose between Fox and Cuthbert.

[lordscarlet]

Yeah, I definitely considered Fox. I think I made a number of timing mistakes in my picks, but that's life.

[KWhit]

She's definitely a bigger sex symbol right now than many of the other athletes taken, IMO. A lot of that is marketing and media creation, sure, but such is life.

I had her at #2 behind Kournikova. I think Sharapova is hotter, but not as big a sex symbol as Danica.

But YMMV.

Paris Hilton is much the same. No doubt she is a "sex symbol" but it is largely fabricated and most men I know do not find her appealing.

[Radii]

1. Celebrity Singer, 7.2 - Shania Twain
2. Celebrity Actor, 1.2, Marilyn Monroe
3. Celebrity No-Talent 6.9 - Elle MacPherson
4. Celebrity Athlete, 5.2 - Amanda Beard

5. Appeals to Younger Women, 3.2 - Brad Pitt
7. Appeals to Older Men - 8.9 - Jayne Mansfield
8. Appeals to Older Women - 9.2 - Burt Reynolds
9. Fictional (Literary)
10. Fictional (Theatrical) 4.9 - Catherine Tramell, Basic Instinct

no pics.

I think sex symbols are media creations by definition.

I expected it to go:Kournikova, Sharapova, Danica.

[lordscarlet]

The latest sensation among teens and early twenty-somethings.

1. Celebrity Singer, 4.8, Prince
2. Celebrity Actor, 8.8, Audrey Hepburn
3. Celebrity No-Talent, 6.8, Vanna White

5. Appeals to Younger Men
6. Appeals to Younger Women, 9.3 Zac Efron

8. Appeals to Older Women, 3.3, Ashton Kutcher
9. Fictional (Literary), 5.3, Wonder Woman
10. Fictional (Theatrical), 1.3, Princess Leia Organa

[wade moore]

I was considering Efron with my pick here but eliminated him because I think he more appropriately fits in:

Appeals to Pre-Teen girls

[Buccaneer]

I agree but you can't go wrong with any of them.

[Lathum]

I almost took Efron but went with Timberlake instead

[wade moore]

Matt Damon - someone older (in his late 30's) but I think he appeals to "Younger Women" in their mid to late 20's. He was named People's 2007 Sexiest Man of the Year.

*shurg*

1. Celebrity Singer, 3.4, Beyonce
2. Celebrity Actor, 8.6, Salma Hayek
3. Celebrity No-Talent, 1.4, Venus de Milo
4. Celebrity Athlete, 2.6, Allison Stokke
5. Appeals to Younger Men, 7.4, Elisha Cuthbert
6. Appeals to Younger Women, 9.4, Matt Damon
7. Appeals to Older Men, 4.6, Raquel Welch
8. Appeals to Older Women
9. Fictional (Literary) - 6.6, Hester Prynne
10. Fictional (Theatrical), 5.4, Linda Barrett Fast Times at Ridgemont High

This draft has been crazy.
People I thought would go early, go late.
People I thought would last, went early.

Looking back at my draft list, I think I screwed up every pick.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!



Actually, the shocker of the draft for me has been that Lathum didn't pick Cher, to fit in with his all-male theme.

[Izulde]

Now watch, Lathum is going to swerve us by taking a female with his last pick.
