I’d chose Melissa Auf Der Maur (the former bass player for Hole, now plays with the Pumpkins). I’m also weirdly attracted to Hilary Swank as a man.

Well, if I _had_ to switch – Gillian Anderson. She’s got that whole brains with glamour thing going.

I’m afraid, though, there’s **nothing** that could induce me to get near that Pamela Lee… creature. Trailer trash have more class than she does.

Um…well, I know, it’s stereotypical, but Natalie Portman. But not from _Star Wars_–the _Leon_ look, but older.

And Audrey Hepburn from _Breakfast At Tiffany’s_. Also Angelina Jolie…um…Julia Ormond…

Way to go manhattan for being so bold. (Michael Madsen)

I’m agreeing with Bricker about the androgynous part - I’d say Johnny Depp. He’s plays a pretty good tough also (ala Donnie Brasco).

## Ed Norton. I just admire his acting.

Ahh yes, thank you Psy.

That was John Schneider. Tom Snyder does/did a Late Show.

Anyhoo, if I was gay, I’d probably have more sex with women. Sure seems to work that way with all the gay guys I know.

Well… actually, I’d rather have been goosed by Idina Menzel or Daphne Rubin-Vega, and had coffee with Kellie Martin or Alex Kingston… since you ask. But since this is dedicated to the concept of playing for the other team… sure, that would’ve been cool.
