> [@Scougs](#): > > As for you blokes… you mean Helen Mirren isn’t the automatic default setting for this question? I know there are some serious Helen Mirren admirers on SDMB, and I know she looks great in a bikini still, but to me she’s a butterface. Just not attracted to her because of that. ---
