I’m going with the aforementioned Gillian Anderson (I heard some Brit describe her as “the thinking man’s tart”) and Kate Bush. A former roommate would call her “The Queen Of The Weirdos” but I don’t buy it. ---

I just realized this one while posting in another thread. I am starting to find Jay London of Last Comic Standing strangely attractive. He has a soft soothing voice. It’s not necessarily that I’d want to do him but I’d definitely want to get him into a bubble bath, scrub him down and give him a shampoo and comb out. Sort of the same way I feel about Alan Rickman as Professor Snape … except I’d definitely do Snape. 😉 ---

I think Drew Barrymore has grown up to be a very attractive and sexy actress. But my wife and several other women I have mentioned it to always give me funny looks when I say it. ---

> [@Misnomer](#): > > Funny, I just assumed she meant it in a ‘fantasy’ way…the same way the Sprint PCS guy (hi, Brian!) is my future ex-husband. 🙂 Exactly. I am not Tea Leoni, though if it meant climbing into bed with Duchovny every night I’m willing to try to pass. ---

> [@Rabid Child](#): > > I’ll second David Hyde Pierce! Glad someone else knows what I’m talkin’ about, there. 😉 I watched _Rescue Me_ last night (on tape), and now I can’t believe that I left Denis Leary off my list. Not because of the fireman thing – I’m still undecided about the show – I’ve just always had a thing for him. 🙂 ---

A few of mine have already been mentioned, but here goes… Martin Freeman from _The Office_. What a cutie. Morgan Freeman- something about him makes me so hot. He looks like he’d be an awesome lover. Mitch Pileggi- they say that the ratings went though the roof every time he took his shirt off on _The X-Files_. Tall, well-built and bald, mmmmmmm… Anthony Hopkins- not his younger self. Right now. Michael Ironside- the _Top Gun_ edition! Tori Amos- that girl oozes sensuality. My husband once said he’d pay anything to be her piano bench! 😉 BTW, I am a straight, white 37 year old mother of two, go figure. ---

> [@Misnomer](#): > > Funny, I just assumed she meant it in a ‘fantasy’ way…the same way the Sprint PCS guy (hi, Brian!) is my future ex-husband. 🙂 He’s mine, first. Ever since those commercials started airing, I’ve found him oddly attractive. He’s just so damn helpful. He’d have to wear a trenchcoat all the time. Others– Gary Sinese. I’ve had the hots for him since I was 13 or so (after watching **Of Mice and Men** of all things). I never thought about it until reading his name earlier, but Dennis Leary is rather attractive. Plus, I love a smartass. Alan Rickman, _only_ if he’s evil. ---

> [@Loopydude](#): > > Hmmm. Nobody else for Tilda Swinton. I guess I am a freak! 😉 I’ll have to join the freaky party, since I find Tilda Swinton amazingly gorgeous. Also, I have to agree with David Herman. Strangely enough, I have a thing for geeky boys, like [Jarvis Cocker](http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/entertainment/clubs/2002/06/pulp.shtml). Also, Bjork and [Beth Orton](http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1456959/20020809/orton_beth.jhtml?headlines=true). ---

Definitely Bjork. I have wanted to do her forever. There is something about her that just gives off an aggressive sexuality. I hate her music though. ---

It’s because she is both indescribeably cute - and an utter total sleaze. Second the blond with the dark eyes from The Weather Channel. Also Ms. Hannagan. ---

I’ll cast my vote for several already mentioned: Steve Buscemi Ron White (wow) Christopher Walken (just call me Sarah, Plain and Tall!) Walter Matthau Alan Rickman (especially in _Sense and Sensibility_) and I’ll add one of my own: Fred Thompson. His incredible voice and presence really get to me somehow! ---

> [@Ultraviolet](#): > > Strangely enough, I have a thing for geeky boys, like [Jarvis Cocker](http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/entertainment/clubs/2002/06/pulp.shtml) Jarvis Cocker’s a good suggestion. Weirdly, half the time I think he’s incredibly hot and the other half of the time I think he’s arse-ugly. (btw, I’m the one who named David Herman. It seems as though we have the same taste in guys. Geeks rule.)
