[QUOTE=Hampshire] blech, no way. Even with her slimmed down she’s not my cup o’ tea. Yeah, theres some big girls out there who are cuties, she just not one of them. She’s on par with Monica Lewinsky. [/QUOTE] I don’t know if I’d go so far to say Rikki Lake is hot, but I think she’s hot-ish. And I never understood the hate towards Monica. I think she’s [rather good looking](http://www.rainews24.it/ran24/immagini/lewinsky.jpg). That said, I’ve never gone for twiggy girls. I prefer my women to look like,. well,. women. ---

I’d gladly be the beef in a sandwich with her and [Kathy Najimy](http://cache.viewimages.com/comp/1392001.jpg?x=x&dasite=ViewImages&ef=2&ev=1&dareq=9B0238C52E2B0CC7513FEBF6479BDC59A2111D891AAB9E23). Hey… to each his own! ---

Ah, so I am not alone in my secret longing for Ricki? Good. ---

She was **much** better looking before she lost all that weight. Why do all zaftig actresses have to do this? ---

I always picture in the referee outfit from “King of Queens.” Total turnoff ---

She’s cute, but not especially attractive. I’d say that “hot” should attract attention above and beyond the norm. Put her on a Manhattan sidewalk and she wouldn’t stand out in the slightest. ---

[QUOTE=Seven] And I never understood the hate towards Monica. I think she’s [rather good looking](http://www.rainews24.it/ran24/immagini/lewinsky.jpg). [/QUOTE] Agreed. I always found her attractive as well and have never really understood all the digs. Again, she’s not hot but she’s pretty damned cute, which I actually prefer to hot anyway. ---

[QUOTE=whistlepig] If you use the word, “cuddle” when talking about a woman, she’s not hot. [/QUOTE] Whadya, strictly from the bend-em-over-the-car-hood school of romance? Where I come from, cuddling, toe nibbling etc. is foreplay for foreplay. ---

I think with the right additions, she could be hot. Those additions would have to be gasoline and a match. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ricki-lake-hot/359063.md?page=1)
