Esquire is running one of the annoying worlds sexiest woman issues over a 4-6 month period, giving clues and partially hidden photos. Clearly it’s a waifish blond. Does anyone who has read Esquire these last few months know who it is ---

Scarlett Johansson. She cited a specific TV appearance, either **Entourage** or **Robot Chicken**. It’s her. ---

I seem to recall on of the clues put her as older, but maybe it was intentionally misleading. I don’t really follow or care about these things, so I don’t much pay attention to them. ---

Whoever it is, they’re wrong. There is no “world’s sexiest woman”. ---

Scarlett was born on November 22, 1984 (according to [Scarlett Johansson - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424060/) ), so she should certainly be old enough to legally drink by now. ---

Dag, I thought she was younger. :smack: Actually, I guess it’s good that she’s older. 😃 You had that date memorized, didn’t you? ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > You had that date memorized, didn’t you? Honestly no, I had to look it up, but I do recall hearing she was 21 or 22 by now. She’s got to be in the top two or three sexiest celebrity women out there, if not the tip-top. ---
