Equal time and all that… Women I consider just ridiculously beautiful include: Juliana Margulies Hmm, this is hard. Very pretty isn’t that big a deal, extremely cute is easy – but ridiculously beautiful? Hmm. Having started the thread, I’m gonna go take a shower and drive to work – I’ll be back. ---

Grace Kelly Ingrid Berman (and her daughter, Isabella Rosallini) Elizabeth Taylor (in her prime) Lucy Lui (I just saw her in “Shanghai Noon.”) I can’t speak for her other films, but I thought she was beautiful in that one. I’m thinking about some more names. These are a good start. ---

Halle Berry, hands down. ---

Brook Sheilds… hey I’m male and was almost 12 when Blue Lagoon came out in 1980. 🙂 ---

Cameron Diaz. And I’ll second Halle Berry and Grace Kelly (whose family home is just a few blocks from casa de twicks). ---

Third for Halle Berry. And I would add [Yamila Diaz](http://www.aclasscelebs.com/yamilad/images/70_jpg.jpg) of Victoria’s Secret fame. ---

As Victoria’s Secret models go, I’m partial to[Laetitia Casta](http://www.kmmod.com/lcasta/runway/original/ru20.jpg). I like it that she has big (non-fake) boobs and crooked teeth. But speaking of crooked teeth . . . I find as I get older that I am still operating under the same 70s-aesthetic standards of beauty that I had when I was five. I mean sure, I think that, for example, Halle Berry is a hot tamale, but honey, give me Cher, circa 1974 any day! The big honker, the crooked teeth, the stick-straight, long-ass hair, and the love of Bob Mackie. That’s what makes a woman. 😉 (Cher NOW can take her plastic surgery and shove it.) ---

Kate Blanchet (?Spelling) Angelina of course… I never really knew what others saw in her, but the more I see photo’s of her the more I’m falling for her. Does it have to be someone famous because there is this woman who I’ve met a few times and when ever she walks in the room I can’t take my eye’s off her. She has the most amazing eyes and beautiful skin and a great fit body… stop me someone please! I don’t know her very well but I turn into a bumbling baboon whenever I’m around her… and everything she say’s I agree with. Totally pathetic. When someone makes you act like that, that a clue she’s beautiful. ---
