OK jayburner. Here’s the deal. In your next post in this thread, you will name all women/men/goats that you think are cute/hot/foxes. Yeah, that includes goats you think are foxes.

Then, you will tell us how old you are and whether or not you are fully clothed at the time of posting.

Just to get a little background, and to take away the need to post ANOTHER 20 “Don’t y’all think so-and-so is a babe” threads.

M’kay?

Hey, at least he’s right this time. Jennifer looked like she was made out of plastic.

Ah…Bailey, the Mary Ann of WKRP. She was definitely a hottie.

Jayburner— pay no attention to Coldfire. He’s a total grump without his morning enema. 😉

I used to work with Lonnie Anderson’s cousin. Even he thought Bailey was cuter, but then again, his views might have been prejudiced by what he knew of Lonnie’s personality.

    - I thought she was cute, but it always seemed like her hairstyle was a bit flat. - I don’t know what she looks like now. What we _really_ need is a “Where Are They Now” site that has current pictures/info of (somewhat) past stars - and we need it done by someone who is not me, because I don’t have that kind of time. A co-corker tells me that Tiffany doesn’t look nearly as adorable now (I told him that IMHO, she didn’t look that adorable then, but jailbait always does have that allure of youth). - MC

I used to like (and still do) Marcia Strassman, who played Gabe Kotter’s wife in _Welcome Back, Kotter_. She’s very similar to Jan Smithers in many ways.

I’m not a guy, but I think she was WAY better looking than Loni Anderson. Bailey and Andy Travis (Gary Sandy) were the best looking couple on television, they had the best hair and looked fabulous in jeans.

Definately! Jan Smithers was a total babe! So was Marcia Strassman. And Dawn Wells. And Holly Hunter. Uh… excuse me… I have to go take care of something. 😉

Bailey, all the way, 110% babe.

Jennifer…manufactured, typical - nice to look at but not as … _inspiring_ as Ms. Quarters.

And frankly, gals with glasses really do something for me, and blondes…::Shrug:: Nothin’ special.

I dated a girl in high school who looked a lot like her.

She dumped me.
