Jessica did a great job of almost falling out of her gown at the Golden Globes.

+1. And since I get a blonde and brunette as well,  
[Carey Mulligan](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1659547/?ref_=nv_sr_1), and  
[Jenna Coleman](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1982510/?ref_=nv_sr_1).

Oh boy… James Hinchcliffe. I’m a big IndyCar fan and I liked him as a driver. Then I saw him on _Dancing With the Stars_… _rowr_

For some reason I thought I was the only one who would say that. She’s amazing.

If you haven’t already check out the web series Other Space. Two scenes that come to mind, when she is abandoned on a planet for a year and goes feral and when she speaks Russian for most of the episode. Wow.

Age-appropriate: Julia Louis-Dreyfus. What a gorgeous, funny woman. And rich. Very, very rich. I could live comfortably just on the loose change in her couch.

Less age-appropriate: Scarlett Johansson. Wow.

Also less age-appropriate, but I think she’s old enough that I pass that creepy-age formula: I’ll challenge anyone to a nerd-off for the hand of the lovely Kate Micucci. Not sure a nerd-off is _entirely_ appropriate, but it feels right to me, and I might as well play to my strengths.

I just recently got around to watching _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ (go ahead and laugh), so this sort of counts… [Amber Benson](https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=638&tbm=isch&q=mageina+tovah&oq=mageina+tovah&gs_l=img.3..0j0i30k1l6.24403.29189.15.29406.21.13.3.5.5.0.93.784.12.12.0....0...1c.1.64.img..2.19.759.0..35i39k1j0i67k1j0i10k1j0i24k1.wqZKwy4LCXk&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.&bvm=bv.144210762,d.eWE&dpr=1#safe=active&tbm=isch&q=amber+benson+2015).

I also have a longtime crush on [Kristin Kreuk](https://www.google.com/search?q=kristin+kreuk&biw=1366&bih=638&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjc86e19r3RAhXGLyYKHUkBAyoQ_AUIBigB).

It was Gina Torres who did it for me.

I developed a crush on Sibel Kekilli (who played Shae on _Game of Thrones_) a long time before GOT. I first saw her in 2004, in the German film _Head-On_.

Unfortunately, between _Head-On_ and GOT, she appears to have had an ill-advised nose job. She’s still gorgeous, though

I figured there’d be a few of us, knowing how much this place loves the basket of adorkables.
