All right, once again in the spirit of Ginger vs. Mary Ann and Bailey vs Jennifer, it is time to inquire as to which of the many babes of Buffy-verse (ie from the tv shows \* Buffy the Vampire Slayer\* and/or _Angel_) float your boat. The nominees are - and feel free to add others I’ve forgotten about or neglected- are:

Buffy Anne Summers  
Willow Rosenberg (either before or after she discovered her sexual orientation 😉 )  
Cordelia Chase  
Anya Jenkins  
Tara Maclay  
Harmony Kendall  
Fred Burckle  
Illyria  
Glory  
Dawn “Jailbait” Summers  
Joyce Summers  
Faith the Vampire Slayer  
Kendra the Vampire Slayer  
Darla  
Drusilla  
Jenny Calendar  
Amy Madison  
Chantrelle  
Lilly  
Anne  
Either of the girls that defeated Buffy and Cordy to become homecoming queen  
Lilah Morgan  
Detective Kate Lockley  
Eve  
Jasmine  
Alonna (Gunn’s vamped sister)  
(the Buffy-verse suffers from a lack of good looking sistas, I’m suddenly noticing)  
Any of he potential slayers who are all a big blur to me.

I’ve got to go with Cordelia, from season 2 of Angel, back when she was living with Phantom Dennis and before she got all demony.

And because I don’t want to be too sexist, if you prefer one of the males, then don’t let me stop you.

Well, I’ve definitely got the hots for bad-boy Spike. Not mushy good-boy Spike; he’s boring.

Willow Rosenberg, pre-lesbian of course. She’s just so damn cute. Steals my heart. 😃

Definitely Cordy, although I wouldn’t kick Faith or Lilah out of bed for eating crackers.

Cordy always struck me as the only really sensible Scooby, who _appeared_ to have an “it’s all about me” complex but (unlike most of the other characters, IMO) knew where she stood in the grand scheme of things when the chips were down. Most of the other women: too whiny for me.

It’s a tie between Willow and vamp-Willow - it would have to depend on whether I was feeling dominant or submissive I think 😉

Oh why isn’t there a Homer Simpson drooling smiley?

mmmm… Willow…

Excuse me… I’m just… errrr… I think… I might have… a lie down… yes, that’s right. Don’t disturb me.

Well… Faith is the hottest woman alive.

Willow, Oz, Anya, and Angel. Preferably all together. I’m all about equal opportunity here.

I’ve only ever seen season 1 of Buffy (and very recently, at that), so I don’t know who most of those characters are. I liked it enough to continue watching, though.

I’ll rank Willow the highest, followed by Cordelia (a total bitch, but my friend assures me she gets cooler and even becomes an ally), then Buffy, then Darla as a distant fourth.

1. Faith (Mmmm…had a girlfriend who dressed up as her for Halloween one year. Funny thing as, GF’s name was Kendra…)
2. Cordellia
3. Willow (I think she was hottest after becoming al esbian…so season 5 looks with season 1 sexual preferance ;))
4. Anya
5. Miss Calender
