I always figured that guys who claimed to like Ginger were actually gay and trying to pass, going with the “she must be the sexy one” theory, and secretly drawn to her show-biz persona. Or not. ---

Mary Ann – surely it’s obvious that under that girl-next-door exterior lies an insatiable vixen kinkier than a dozen miles of barbed wire. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Maryann by far. Ginger may do you, but it would be because she wanted something. Mercenary bitch. Maryann would do you because she likes you, is horny, and wants to get kinky with some bananas. Exactly. Mary Ann looks built for some action, while Ginger looks to be strictly decorative, for display purposes only. ---

Betty Rubble. She’s got a great personality, tiny waistline, and never gets old. But only voted Betty because for some unknown reason Wilma F. was not included.

Ginger hands down. I wouldn’t kick Maryann out of my hammock, but Ginger reminds me of Paris Hilton a bit. She’s got a look, she’s got a great body, and she’s very sexual. But I toss both of them for Ellie May. And I toss all three for Jeannie. ---

Also, I find Paris fairly repulsive. It is her personality but also her looks are not desirable to me compared to most any Hollywood beauty. ---

I’ll go for Maryann in the universe where they casted Raquel Welch to play her (as they thought of doing, according to the “E True Story” on this cultural masterpiece). I wonder what Lovey looked like when she was younger. She kept her age a secret at the time but apparently Natalie Schafer was born in 1900. I am assuming assuming she’d get a huge settlement from Thurston.
