I saw that magazine cover on Dlisted. I think Nicole Kidman is a beautiful woman (especially when she’s laying off the botox) but it made me think of this exchange on Arrested Development where Michael and GOB were talking about their mother’s driver’s license. (She’s a woman in her 60s) Michael: I can’t believe she got that driver’s license renewed. Gob: She didn’t. I dummied her up a new one. Not my best work, though. She wanted to look 48. I nearly airbrushed her into oblivion. Ended up checking “albino” in the form. Her license: [Tumblr: Image](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj3rohnjkz1qbz2cio1_500.png) ---

Not that I’m blind to that fact that she has breasts, clearly she does. I’m saying that minus the breast, she hasn’t got a feminine figure. The “kindle butt” picture is a perfect example, if her heels weren’t 8 inches in the air, she’d have no calves at all and her ass would be flatter than my ironing board. ---

Okay, let’s put an end to this (pun intended). This is a paparazzi shot of Mila Kunis’ [ass](http://www.joblo.com/moviehotties/images/news-gallery/thumb/MilaKunisSpandexAss6.jpg) in spandex.

She’s on a public street not posing in a studio. That’s a perfectly fine-looking girly butt. Respectable, sure, but no more inspiring than what I saw every day this summer. (I live next to a pool in an area with lots of college girls.) I’m not going to put down Mila Kunis for a moment; she’s a perfectly attractive woman. She is a very good actress, and is fully capable of playing a role where being sexy is a prerequiste, as anyone who’s seen _Black Swan_ can attest. She’s not the sexiest woman alive. Esquire bestowed this title upon her because they wanted to do an attention-grabbing feature on Mila Kunis, not because there is any consensus among anyone that she is the 2012 equivalent of what Raquel Welch was in 1967 or what Cindy Crawford was in 1994. It’s not a put-down to say a woman isn’t as attractive as Sofia Veraga or Aishwarya Rai. ---

Actually, a simple way to see that these Sexiest Woman Alive stories are always bunk: Kunis was around last year, and she’ll probably still be around next year. Last year’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” is still around, as probably were the Sexiest Women Alive for quite a number of years back. And yet, the title never repeats, and very seldom are the same women even among the finalists. Either we’re to believe that beauty is so ephemeral that it peaks sharply over a span of less than a year, or these awards don’t really mean anything. One would expect that the _real_ Sexiest Woman Alive would retain the title for several years in a row, and that even once she was surpassed, she would still be in the Top 10 for years after that. ---

You are correct, **Chronos** , but the title of “Woman Who Will Sell The Most Magazines For Us” is much more fluid. ---

I double the Meh. Maybe sexiest woman of the week, but alive? Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek, Ann-Margaret, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Carmine Egojo, Denise Richards, Scarlett Johansson and I would disagree. ---

> [@Bob Ducca](#): > > I definitely would NOT hit it. Just look at those sharp knees. She is way below my standard. Ok, your internet meme post needs a bump. Of course she’s not **the sexiest ever**. I for one am shocked that _Esquire_ is using hyperbole, and not naming Macy’s employee Jane Schwartz of Topeka, who is obviously waaaaay hotter. A list also named Isaac Newton one of the smartest men ever, when it’s clear that my cat is a better computer programmer. What a dumbass! ---
