Incidentally, local newswoman [Tara McCool](http://www.greatwest.ca/ffwd/Issues/2002/0801/in.html) has won the Sexiest Calgarian Woman award five times in a row(as presented by local entertainment rag Fast Forward). She’s not my type, but she is attractive. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by js\_africanus \* > \*\*Which link? \*\* The original one for the woman who is the subject of this thread. But I checked the other links too, and I don’t much care for any of these women. I think there is a large contingent of men who go for the overly made-up, severe looking carreer woman type. But I’m not one of them. ---

She’s a babe, no doubt. But she’s not the top newsbabe. That honor goes to Fox’s Patty Ann Brown, who I just discovered the other day, watching at an hour I usually don’t. I would bow down before her and worship at her feet, she is a Goddess. Of course, Ms. Brown is the top newsbabe for _serious_ news. For the fake news, it’s Tina Fey, all the way. ---

I’ve decided Ashleigh Banfield looks especially hot wearing helmets. Also, I was looking at the site she was on and on the top of the second photo gallery page there is an image commemorating september eleventh that consists of a candle with a ribbon tied in a bow at the base. Now, it may be the influence of the “gutterballin’” sequence in **The Big Lebowski** , but it looks kind of phallic to me. [Check it out](http://www.ashleighbanfieldlive.com/photo2.html). ---
