Normally I don’t really go for model types… But I’m gonna throw in two cents for Rebecca Romiin (sp?) Stamos. Hoorah! Thank God that this woman is out there! Runners up- Charlize Theron Natalie Portman Famke Jennsen Oh hell, I know I’m forgetting people… I’ll be thinking of these all night long now. ---

**Beatrice Dalle** , without a doubt.

When we had this discussion at work, several good suggestions came up. Finally, one of my coworkers spoke up “You’re all wrong. It has to be Virginia Pipilini.” “Virginia Pipilini? Never heard of her. Who is she, an Italian model?” I asked. “I don’t know. But I saw a newspaper headline once that was proof enough for me.” “What did the headline say?” He grabbed a piece of paper, jotted something down and then showed it to me: “32 MEN DIE LAYING VIRGINIA PIPELINE” But if it’s not her, it might be Raquel Welch. ---

[Gillian Anderson](http://www.gis.net/~cht/scully.html) When I was in high school & questioning my sexuality, it was Gillian Anderson that made me start to think, “Maybe I’m a lesbian.” Mmmmmmmmmm… I’m sure she’d be tickled to know that she turned me [gay](http://gaeb.teatime.com/gaeb.html) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Demise \* > **Salma Hayek. The scene in _From Dusk Till Dawn_ where she dances with the snake puts me into a drooling stupor every time.** MMMMmmmm. It takes about 20 minutes for me to regain higher brain functionality after viewing that scene. But, my vote is going to have go to Catherine Deneuve in her younger days. ---

I have a new “most beautiful woman in the world”!!! You must see Monica Bellucci in _Malena_…now! If foreign films aren’t your thing - just turn the sound off and enjoy. [http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/land/4606/gall11.htm](http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/land/4606/gall11.htm) Not that my earlier pick (Gisele Bunchen) is anything to sneeze at… [http://www.iei.net/~davidc/Keepers/GiseleBundchen8X10COA.JPG](http://www.iei.net/~davidc/Keepers/GiseleBundchen8X10COA.JPG) I remember seeing some movie with Phoebe Cates, under a waterfall…whoa! ---

I believe her natural hair color is, as The Tick once described that of Arthur’s sister: “a halo of mouse brown fire!” ---
