Sorry for the double callout. :o

I didn't think the first one was going through and it sounded asshatish upon further reflection, so I put up the second one, which was better worded.

I've deleted the first one.

Yep, Catwoman is ineligible.

[Mustang]

Sorry, Matthew McConaughey was in the Navy in U-571... that means Lathum's pick is illegal.

I have no idea where to go with this category so....

In 83, at the age of 30, did a memerable Playboy shoot that launcher her acting carrer.
(reversing the usual order)
Looked smoking hot in 9 1/2 weeks at the age of 33 or so.
She holds the distinction of being the only actress who has both posed nude in Playboy magazine and won an Academy Award.

Not a bad pick, she was on my short list for my last pick as well.

[Dr. Sak]

Good pick Wade! My grandfather looked just like a young Paul Newman.

[Lathum]

[st.cronin]

This concludes the FOFC Sex Symbol Draft! Thanks to everybody for participating. I will be creating a thread shortly for the board to vote on the winning team.

A couple of notes: My intent for the categories was as follows. Celebrity no-talent, I had in mind obviously Paris Hilton, also maybe somebody like Tara Reid, possibly somebody like Jenna Bush or Jackie O. Appeals to younger/older men/women - For younger men and women I really meant underage men and women, teenyboppers. I maybe should have clarified the categories better before the draft. Also fictional (literary) I thought would get 8-10 comic book characters instead of just 1.

[BrianD]

Should the voters do their pre-voting analysis here or wait for the voting thread?

[Castlerock]

Surprised that Gabrielle Reese wasn't in the top 2/3 for Athlete.

[Radii]

When I took Amanda Beard I said that there were 2 athletes I was considering that both clearly have sex symbol status, Amanda Beard + 1 other that I can't stand at all and have zero attraction to... Reese was the other option there.


In hindsight, I wish I had taken Sasha Cohen, just so I could have posted this picture:

[PurdueBrad]

I considered her but ultimately put Gina Carrano and Katarina Witt ahead of her. I was surprised to see that Gina didn't get picked as she is the female face to one of the fastest growing sports.

[BrianD]

I was wondering if we would see Brandi Chastain, Summer Sanders, Misty May, or Kerri Walsh...or the recent figure skater whose picture keeps popping up around here.

Edit: Radii has me covered here.

[Warhammer]

I just want to say that Jenna Jameson certainly does not belong in the Celebrity No Talent category, she does have some talent.

[Castlerock]

Sasha Cohen looks great but I don't think she is really a sex symbol. I think Amanda Beard was your only blown pick.

[lordscarlet]

I can't believe I didn't think of Gabrielle Reese, and I did consider Chastain.

[cuervo72]

Tanith Belbin is better looking, though not as well known. I'm a little surprised nobody selected any of the golf hotties (Gublis or Creamer). If you wanted to go back a ways, Chris Evert might have been solid. If you wanted to stretch the definition, go wrestling with someone like Stacy Keibler.

Other thoughts on ones that were missed.

No-Talent: Anna Nicole Smith might have qualified, and folks like Kim Kardashian.

Singers: Alizee, anyone? For male, maybe types like Julio Iglesisas, Tom Jones, even Sinatra in his prime. Susanna Hoffs and Janet Jackson would have been better than Cher.

Literary: well, as for comic books, yeah you could have picked Starfire, or better Vampirella. Cleopatra or Fanny Hill if you want to get really literary. Or going way back, Salome (seven veils, etc).

On the young side as women go, Kristin Bell is pretty cute. As for all-time, maybe Jane Fonda, Ann-Margret. Oh, and HAS ANYONE NEVER HEARD OF FRIGGIN BRIGITTE BARDOT??? I mean come on, people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_God...man_(1956_film)

When the film was released in the United States by distributor Kingsley-International Pictures in 1957, it pushed the boundaries of the representation of sexuality in American cinema, making Bardot an overnight sensation. It was condemned by the Catholic League of Decency. To this day, the scene of Bardot dancing barefoot on a table is considered by some to be one of the most erotic scenes in the history of cinema.[1]

Go either the starlet or the role, either one. Other roles that might have worked? Could have used Cleopatra here too (or Liz Taylor). Or Sherilyn Fenn in Two Moon Junction, a couple of Pam Grier roles, maybe even Henstridge in Species. I think the obvious choice was Emmanuelle.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuelle

The name Emmanuelle (and its various spelling permutations) has gone on to become synonymous with erotic film.

I know it's Wiki...but SYNONYMOUS. WITH. EROTIC. FILM. Good grief.

[Dr. Sak]

I thought of Emmanuelle after I made my pick for that category.

[Mustang]

I thought of Bardot and surprised she was not taken. I think 1/2 the voters are going to go with the 'Who would I like to bang right here, right now' and didn't think.. 'Ok.. who did my Dad want to bang 25 years ago...'

I don't know who Belbin, Gublis or Creamer are.

Both were on my list. Anna Nicole-Smith took too much of a plunge later in life for me to pick her. Kim Kardashian just seems like the "latest and greatest" Paris Hilton, and I did not want to split the "Rich but talentless" sex symbol vote.

I have no idea who Alizee is. I agree on the other points. I think for men Prince is a great selection for our generation, but maybe I'm biased.

Another biased opinion, but I think Wonder Woman was the clear top comic book character and after that you're just riding the coattails of a great selection.

Liz Taylor was also on my list, but I think Sophia Loren has held up better over time.

My interpretation of the category is "Who would my Dad like to bang right now that is in his generation."

[Dr. Sak]

cuervo I was also going to go with Gublis (she was my first thought) but I figured not many would know her as a woman golfer.

[Mustang]

As for going with what pre-teens might find sexy, I think that would have been too uhh... potentially creepy. I just used 2 ages.. around age 25 and then all-time for the older.
