No links? No jokes about "In Touch" magazine talking about boobies? I have taught you nothing?

My only objection: Halle Berry. Awesome boobs, but I wouldn't really call that "cleavage." In my head "cleavage" means that the boobs have to be big enough to touch and cleave.

Wow, my list would look very different.

For starters, Lacy Chabert needs some recognition.

I agree, Lacey Chabert should be on that list. This coming from a leg man. It's rare if I notice a woman's chest, but yeah, Lacey is stacked.

At least 3, and possibly more on that list are silicone sisters. I know it's a petty objection, but I think it cheapens it somehow.

What? You think my brain is working right now?

As for links; I dunno...maybe you should try Google - you might get lucky and someone on the internet might have posted something about breasts.

Personally, I was shocked by Tyra Banks' absense on this list. We're talking a Victoria Secrets model with two major league ... television series.

Kick ass that Susan Sarandon still makes the grade -- she's 59, and still got a nice set.

Scarlett Johansson is one lovely young woman, but "cleavage" is not a term I associate with her. Catherine Zeta-Jones's cleavage is currently starring in a Zorro movie with some Spanish guy; she belongs on the list.

Jessica Simpson doesn't really have boobs anymore.They used to be glorious though!

I also think that Mariah's funbags of fakey goodness are much nicer than Carmen's.

Am I the only one who thought that first shot of Ms. Simpson from the waist up was taken during an especially difficult bowel movement? I believe the cylindrical object in her hand might be some kind of fancy toilet paper holder.

Interesting how television stars get short shrift on that list, except Nicollette Sheridan's ridiculously fake chest.

Nikki Cox, currently starring on Las Vegas, should be number one. GIS comes up with better pictures, but they can't be directly linked to.

Laura Prepon. Lucy Lawless. There should be a television top ten all by itself.

I have lusted after Nikki for many a year. She is smokin' hot.

I also think Laura Prepon is hot, but not as. Nikki really does it for me though.

I was all set to hop on a soapbox about not calling it 'cleavage' if they're not touching when I thought to check the definition first.

Something called WordNet agrees with me, specifically "the line formed by a groove between two parts (especially the separation between a woman's breasts)" but American Heritage defines it as "The hollow between a woman's breasts, especially as revealed by a low neckline."

I've always used it as line, not hollow, I'm so confused!

I suppose one uses the one definition of cleave and the other uses the other definition of cleave. The English language makes my head aplode.

You know... that list of impossible to have people who, if they show up at your door and demand to have sex with you, your spouse can't say 'NO'.

Actually, I've told GrizzWife that I wouldn't mind being the beef in a Tilly-Sisters-Sandwich.

Not that it matters AT ALL to men today, but I'd wager a good 80 percent of the chestier gals are silicon or saline enhanced.

Again, nobody seems to care. Real or fake, just so long as they're big.

Easy. You'll put an eye out with that broad brush.

I personally prefer naturals, but there are some women with darn good doctors. If you ask me the risks and consequences outweigh the benefits, but tell that to my A-cup best friend. But that's another thread.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd be Ken to Nicolette Sheridan's Barbie anyday.

My observation is based on dozens of SDMB threads on this topic. The great majority of guys seem not to care much if any.

Okay, I have a few problems with this list, but Jessica Simpson and Salma Hayek definately deserve to be at the top. They both exhibit the qualities we desire. Likewise, Halle, Angelina, and JLH are hot and love to put *them* out there.

But as mentioned previously, Carmen Electra and Nicollette Sheridan seem like bad choices. Not just because they're fake, but because they're so obviously fake. I don't see why they would make the list when Pamela Anderson was left off, or some freaky pornstar with EEEcups. And seriously, why was Pam left off, she's the standard cleavage girl. And why Carmen Electra and not Jenny McCarthy?

Mariah Carey is also another strange choice because she's gotten so sickeningly fat. She doesn't deserve to be on this list any more than
Star Jones.

I also think Scarlett Johansson was a bad choice. She's a nice girl, but I would never consider her hot, since she's never played an attractive character. From what I can tell, she's got one good photo where she showed up at the Oscars. On the other hand, Jennifer Garner, despite those little A cups, more frequently shows up with them choaking her.

Lastly, Susan Sarandon shouldn't be on the list because, well, yick, she's old. It reminds me of that scene from "Something about Mary." I'm impressed that she can look good at her age, but there's a point where you have to put them away.

A huge chest does not necessarily = nice cleavage. It seems this thread has turned into who has the biggest chesticles, rather than who has the nicest cleavage. To me, cleavage is meant to be more of a tease than an overt display.

For my money, Shania Twain, Ashley Judd and Kate Winslet have some of the nicest cleavage going.

It is a crime against humanity that Jennifer Tilly was left off of the list. I'm amazed that no one has mentioned Elizabeth Shue yet. She and her breasts are starring in the new movie Dreamer . One of my friends is just hopping that they aren't teasing him in the commercial with the one shot of her leaning forward in a low cut dress. He wants more!

As a side note, I'd like to thank the leg guys out there. You rock.

I just nice to see actresses with hips and chests that don't look like twelve year old boys. Particularly ones that are carrying a relatively normal amount of weight to go along with the hips and chest. The Twiggy thing has gone on too long!

Sickeningly fat? I imagine we must have totally different ideas regarding what constitutes "sickeningly fat". Mariah is far from a waif, but the girl has a flat stomach and slim legs. Oh and here are some cites from the last month or two: Cite Cite Cite And Cite

Star Jones is (or was, she's lost a lot of weight) "fat", Mariah- not so much. Hell, if Mariah is sickeningly fat, I would like to give my right leg to be that fat

This is sickeningly fat? Maybe she just has a really good photographer, but that looks just fine, to me. In fact, to damn with faint praise, she probably looks the best of any of the folks in that original list (ordinarily, I'm a fan of Halle Berry, but the photo they have up of her doesn't do her justice).

It looks to me, though, that this is less about the mammaries, and more about the clothes. Heck, in some of those dresses, I'd have cleavage.

Gotta go with Diosa. Mariah is many things (dumb as a stump comes to mind first), but fat is not one of them. emack, your taste in women is wanting. Skeletons with breasts are not attractive.

Wow. It's funny, most of the women brought up in this thread aren't terribly busty, IMHO. Heck, I see better on an average trip to the grocery store.

My wife's packing more than these chicks, and I actually get to see them! Woohoo!









Why, yes, I AM happily married!
