> [@Wolfian](#): > > So you wanted to super-scury to be her Captain Kirk? Hell, yea… those painted on Jeans, or alternately those tight leather pants that she wore in the accompanying 99 Luftballon videos are still burnt into my reptilian brain. In the classic version, where she is in the jeans and walking amidst the explosions on that military proofing ground, there is a shot where the light of one of the fireballs flashes with the power of a million suns through her venusian triangle. Shit, I’m getting aroused just thinking about it. ---

[John Lurie](http://www.strangeandbeautiful.com/news/index.html) yum yum yum! And Willem Dafoe. In Lurie’s [Fishing With John](http://savvytraveler.publicradio.org/show/features/1999/19991016/interview.shtml) series, one episode has Willem and John feezing during an ice fishing trip to Maine. I was swooning. Even bundled up with teeth chattering, these guys just do it for me! Mainly, cause, too, they are sharp artistes as well. Votes for Nick Cage and Jim Jarmusch. Come to think of it, actor Klaus Kinski fits the bill as well. ---

Well, I love Tom Wait’s music, but his countenance is just a wee bit too hangdog for my yum yum quotient. Did anyone mention John Malkovich? ---

I think that [Drew Barrymore](http://membres.lycos.fr/todreb13/drew-barrymore.jpg) would fall into this category. Oh, I’d do immoral and possibly illegal things to that girl. ---

> [@JThunder](#): > > I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned Mary Lynn Rajskub yet. CHLOE! Very very sexy, and not in a conventional way. I loved her as Chloe on 24, and I always thought it was very mean and unfair that the posters on Television Without Pity dubbed her “Potato Face.” ---

Female - Mae West and Jean Harlow. Harlow’s not really all that pretty if you look close. Male - Alice Cooper (surprise! :rolleyes: ) ---

Ellen Barkin, for sure Laura Dern - ouch! OUCH! Jill Hennessey - granted she once used to be pretty but despite her swift and seemingly irreversable descent in major hagdom, she’s still got that voice and a world class rack… Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore. Anyone for a Clarice sandwhich (fnerk!) Merryl Streep (mambowoman goes eeeeew whenever I mention it, but I reckon the chessewoman is smokin’ hot and probably nasty in the sack…) mm ---

I think Lisa Edelstein, who plays Dr. Cuddy on House, is sexy and beautiful, but I have a feeling she belongs in good company in this thread.
