Let the flailing, squeeing, sighing, drooling, and swooning commence over Gael Garcia Bernal… …now. ---

Several guys who qualify as a “thinking women’s sex symbol”… and several others whose appeal is a little more demotic! 😃 ---

Porn names are always stupid. And I hate to admit lusting for a porn actress, but I’ve come across one such person that goes by the moniker ‘Penny Flame’ and - holy fuck - she’s as hot as they come, including 2 myspace personalities (for her two personas) that’s really intesting. Too bad I’m twice her age, half way around the globe and not hung like Ron Jeremy. In a world of plastic porno, she ignites the gonzo porn heaven. ---

Digging for the Truth host [Josh Bernstein](http://www.history.com/minisites/diggingforthetruth/) wins the sexiest male documentary host award for 2006 easily crushing contenders[Bob Brier](http://www.uvm.edu/~fleming/images/press/Bob.Brier.jpg) and [Zahi Hawass](http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2002-09/15/images/pic76.jpg). [Here Josh plays Cupid.](http://www.questmagazine.com/josh_arrow.jpg) And looky here: [Josh on a camel](http://www.archaeology.org/online/reviews/thumbnails/digtruth.gif). Josh has wide shoulders and big hands. And a purty mouth. I am hopeful that in 2007 that the History channel will send Josh somewhere tropical… perhaps with an inviting waterfall for Josh to bathe and possibly cavort in. And [Vera Farmiga](http://www.illegalchuck.com/images/v/verafarmiga.jpg) was in The Departed in 2006. She has a purty mouth, too. ---

Yowzah! [/QUOTE] Big fan of Kate’s myself, and definitely think she deserves a nod for 2006 as she’s become quite the slinky sexpot as of late … I’ve always liked (her even when she had some extra weight) but lately she seems taller and leaner and more done up every time I see her. Rrrrreow. If that’s not enough, hearing that posh accent is enough to make me get all stupid. I also second Astroboy’s nomination of Lacey Chabert. You gentlemen both have some excellent taste! I like the photo you provided, Captor, but still think you could’ve done a [lot](http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Kate-Winslet/Kate-Winslet-32.JPG) [better](http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Kate-Winslet/Kate-Winslet-31.JPG) [on](http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Kate-Winslet/Kate-Winslet-22.JPG) [them](http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Kate-Winslet/Kate-Winslet-10.JPG) [though](http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Kate-Winslet/Kate-Winslet-16.JPG). 😉 Do all the hottie nominees have to be of the opposite sex or are we allowed a same-sex indiscretion? I think if I was a chick, I’d be all misty for [Michael Shanks](http://daisydownunder.com/Daniel-Art-1.htm) (of Stargate fame). In addition to his good looks and great range as an actor, he’s funny and well-spoken too. And Canadian too, ey. One of my favorite lesser-known actors. While I’m at it, his co-star [Claudia Black](http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/6558/farscapepkscifi000134sf.jpg) is smokin’ hawt too. Her voice is so sultry it makes me moist in my special places. I’ve always felt she’d have been perfectly cast as Lara Croft for some reason … I reckon it’s probably the accent and [her fondness for dressing in very tight clothes which often feature holsters for large handguns](http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/8841/farscapepkscifi000128zk.jpg).

[Ludivine Sagnier](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0756203/). You all thought I was going to say Helen Hunt , didn’t you? Not the best selection of pics in the link, but I am sure some cursory googling will find much more glamorous ones of her, some of which may emphasise her extreme amenability towards appearing in movies wearing not much more than nothing. She is gorgeous. mm ---

:::: Moderator coughs discretely :::: Look, gang, just because a picture doesn’t involve nudity doesn’t mean it’s safe for the workplace. Most of the pictures in links above are to scantily-clad persons with great bodies, and not the sort of thing I’d want my boss to walk by and see on my screen. The criteria of “not safe for workplace” is broader than just explicit nudity. There are too many links so far for me to disable them all (I’ll try if I have time), but moving forward, please, when you post a link like that, unclick the button in the section called “Additional Options” that says “Automatically parse links in text.” That way, you’re providing the link but not a direct link. (This feature is not available in the “Quick Reply.”) If you’re confused about this “workplace safe” comment, please go to [Rules for Posting on the Straight Dope Message Boards](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=384736) and note post #9. ---

[QUOTE=C K Dexter Haven] Look, gang, just because a picture doesn’t involve nudity doesn’t mean it’s safe for the workplace. [/QUOTE] You need a new job. What are you doing at work at this time of year? I think the NSFW clause should apply to links that _unexpectedly_ lead to scantily clad bodies. When it’s a thread _clearly dedicated_ to displaying hotties at their hottest, the clues are already evident that clicking links is going to lead to NSFW-ness.
