You can throw me into the Winona Ryder camp. Can’t forget Jeniffer Aniston though: [http://www.jen-aniston.com/pic029.jpg](http://www.jen-aniston.com/pic029.jpg) [http://www.jen-aniston.com/pic037.jpg](http://www.jen-aniston.com/pic037.jpg) [http://www.jen-aniston.com/pid1467.jpg](http://www.jen-aniston.com/pid1467.jpg) [http://www.jen-aniston.com/pic370.jpg](http://www.jen-aniston.com/pic370.jpg) Mmm… ---

All the women mentioned are beautiful, but for the absolute _most_ beautiful, I gotta vote for **Natalie Portman**. My links aren’t working for some reason, but with makeup: [http://www.nat-portman.net/cgi-bin/viewimg.cgi?nat002.jpg](http://www.nat-portman.net/cgi-bin/viewimg.cgi?nat002.jpg) Or mostly au naturel: [http://www.nat-portman.net/cgi-bin/viewimg.cgi?nat001.jpg](http://www.nat-portman.net/cgi-bin/viewimg.cgi?nat001.jpg) she’s breathtaking. She rates about 10 billion millihelens in my book. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dead0man \* > \*\*Nikki Cox > \*\* You misspelled “Courteney.” Actually, I think that Courteney would have been a major contender in her younger years – and still qualifies when she wears her hair long and layered. ---

Okay. I guess if I absolutely _had_ to make a choice, it would be supermodel Stacey Williams. Young and/or long-haired Courteney would be a close second, though. ---

It’s kind of embarrassing but when I ran this vote on Deep Mojo the ultimate supercomputer in 3010 (during a recent timetravel adventure of mine which is beside the point), it actually declared me both the most handsome man AND the most beautiful woman. It decided that whatever the dividing line between genders, it was but a mere biological blip on the scale of cosmic time, which… aw, shucks, apparently I dominate it like a colossus. It’s not easy bein’ me. ---

And the winner is…(opens envelope)…ME! Even tho I’m a guy, I’m so beautiful I deserve to win this contest.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned my favorite, the former Miss Malaysia, [Michelle Yeoh](http://owl.usc.edu/~hding/yeohring/). (I also like the previously-mentioned Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, and Natalie Portman.) ---

NachoSara- I agree with you about Natalie Portman. Now…Dragwyr…may I see you for a moment? Are you trying to get me fired? 🙂 Dont know who Tara Monroe is, I innocently typed the name into MSN search here at work, and I get the old “Your search is likely to return adult content” line. Got a clothed pic? ---

Ok, I totally agree with previous posters on the awesome beauty (and raging sexuality) of Tiffani Amber Theissen and Rebecca Romjin [I don’t acknowlege her post-hyphen name, gets in the way of fantasy]. Other prominent beauties that I didn’t notice mentioned are the omnipresent Cindy Crawford and the mesmerizing beauty of Cameron Diaz, whose personality really does seem to shine through her skin. (sorry, getting carried away). But what about my all-time fav, the former Victoria’s Secret model, Emmanuelle something-or-other (help!!), of the enormous, luscious lips and fully-ripened curves that put the skinny runway models to shame and establish the paradigmatic form of a “real” woman, awash with sexuality and confident in the direct glance and. . . and . . . and . . . [have to stop now and roll my tongue back into my mouth.] Somebody please tell me why she stopped modelling for V.S. and find a link for me please! (did I say please?) ---
