Inspired by [thread=308974]Firefly fans: Zoe, Inara or Kaylee?[/thread]. Whereas that was a high school test, this is college mid-terms.

Which lady do you prefer from Wisteria Lane?  
**Susan, Bree, Lynette, Gabrielle or Edie?** Feel free to add your own like Mrs. Huber or Mama Solis.

To say these are flawed individuals is an understatement. You could go on looks alone, but it might bite you on the ass.

My pick is Gabrielle. I think she’s the hottest but she’ll break my heart. ☹

Ack! So much hottness! And I have to choose?

I suppose Edie for a fling and Susan to settle down with. Or maybe Lynette.

Having never seen the show (so I’m going on looks alone):

1. The redhead (Bree?).
2. That Mexican girl (Eva Longoria) from Corpus Christi.  
The rest of them do nothing for me.

I’m not a big fan of \*\*DH[b/] but Gabby has my attention.

I’ve never seen the show, but Teri Hatcher is hot hot hot, so whichever one she plays.

I’d have to go on looks alone, because none of them has a personality that appeals to me.

And I’m a suburban male.

I’m going to have to agree there…

And if I can’t get him, then Gabrielle is the hottest, but I’d get along best as friends with Susan.

Gabby, because she’s such a hard (tho small) body.  
Susan, because she’s such a klutz. (who doesn’t love a klutz?)  
Edie, because she’s so blatantly sexual. Probably only once.  
Lynette, because she’s basically wholesome - maybe a sleeping volcano under the surface?.  
Bree, I don’t think so - she’s kinda creepy. Maybe with someone else’s pole.

And so what is Maisy, chopped liver?

My faves:

Bree, I think she is just the greatest looking woman. So trim yet shapely…a Nicole Kidman for grown-ups.

Gabby, tiny little critter but muy gorgeous.

Maisy, despite her profession, a beautiful, classy woman. I think she is fabulous.
