Well, he’d be not bad on the eyes with a leave-in conditioner treatment, maybe.
My grandpa was pretty hot back in the day. Picture blue eyes.
Wow, no kidding. Can anybody put a name to this picture, or at least a nationality?
Alison Stokke
Turkish oil wrestler? Are any of them not hot??
I recall reading an article about her and how much that photo disrupted her life. When the photo was taken at age 17, she was a serious high school athlete in SoCal and the unwanted fame from that photo was very distracting to her (because it shows up on the web like in this thread).
Doesn’t the fact that an article was written about her and that people know her by name sorta make her a low-tier celebrity?
The view is even better from the rear three-quarters.
The actual controversy was about her father, who, IIRC, was an Internet celebrity due to the fact that he defended, adamantly, a rapist under the auspices that “she dressed like she was askin for it,” or something to that effect.

Thanks. Somewhat apropos that you would have the answer 
Well, googling her (heh) would suggest that she has become a sort of internet celebrity. She seems to have her fans, in any case.
The plot thickens. (off to read the article).
As I said in the OP, the working definition of ‘celebrity’ is anyone who depends upon or cultivates some kind of image for their job: actresses, actors, musicians, models. I don’t count athletes because they look all kind of tore up and still be proficient atheletes, and no one cares much.
In order to contribute, I’ll share my thoughts on a couple of the most gorgeous men I’ve met IRL. I think the handsomest man I’ve ever laid eyes on in the flesh was named Adam, and I got to wait on him at my job when I lived in MD. I have never forgotten his name or his face. I remember it very clearly because it was not long after that cruise ship was hijacked by IIRC Somali pirates, and he told me that his parents had been on that cruise!
The other guy was in Americorps with me last year. He looked a lot like a better-looking Jake Gyllenhaal. I was originally not going to post a photo in order to protect his privacy, but then I realized that his Facebook photos were all set to public, so its not like any random person can’t view them anyway. So with that being said, here’s a photo of him.
Several dozen women I went to college with would fit the bill, but I don’t have photos.
The butt is too manly. And those calves… shudders
Here’s a similar thread I started a while ago.
Sadly, bank girl is gone, but she’s been replaced by receptionist hottie. I’ve been doing some client work at a site near my job, so I’ve been visiting once a week for the last few months, and RH immediately struck me as sweet, radiant, and incredibly pretty (plus, she’s got the most amazing rack I’ve seen in ages). Again, nothing would or could ever happen, but my contract with them ends this week so it’ll be the last time I see her…possibly ever. :sigh:
Jeez, I read the linked Washington Post article, too. Way to make us all feel like scum.
Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of Uzbekistan’s President Islam Karimov: gulnara karimova - Google Search At one time, it was thought that she might be Uzbekistan’s next president, though RFERL has been suggesting that she may be falling from favor. Shame - if she got the job, she’d be the world’s hottest head of state by a considerable margin. Of course, Uzbekistan is a fairly brutal dictatorship, and there’s no reason at all to think Karimova would be a reformer. But still - hot! She could charge me with slander and have me sentenced to hard labor any time …
Also - she’s no longer in power, but Yulia Tymoshenko was at one time the world’s hottest head of government, serving as Ukraine’s prime minister after the Orange Revolution brought Yushchenko into the presidency. In fact, the revolution was probably more Tymoshenko’s baby than anyone else’s. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d certainly occupy Kiev if she asked me nicely: http://www.oldfashionedpretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Ukrainian+Prime+Minister+Yulia+Tymoshenko.jpg
Finally - I give you Samantha Power, the world’s most highly smoking international security wonk: http://www.edrants.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/samanthapower.jpg A fine writer (I’ve got a copy of her “A Problem from Hell” on my shelf), and I think she’s currently serving on Obama’s National Security Council.
Seeing as the first photo I found on Googling her was this photo from a shoot, I’d say she’s over that now.
That’s Alina Vacariu, an entirely different person.
Fine - this one is listed as Stokke.
And is it just me or does “Turkish Oil Wrestler” sound like the straight gal’s equivalent of the Swedish Bikini Team? 
Okay - I’ll play. I was researching Venture Capital firms - the ones that invest in Silicon Valley startups and biotech companies and the like - and came across this photo of one of a VC firm’s managing directors. Look for a woman with the first name Camille with long hair and glasses.
So she’s a Managing Director at a highly-regarded VC firm - which means she probably has a Harvard or Stanford MBA or a Master’s in Engineering or something - and makes HUGE amounts of cash if she’s even remotely good at what she does…and she looks like that.
Oy.
