The AfterEllen.com Hot 100 List

I admit it: I was excited. Not so much by the list, but by the anticipation of the experience (I know, I know. It doesn't take much to excite me, okay?). I couldn't wait to open up the list, see who was number 1 and have the whole experience of "Where are the people I voted for? Why is she at number X?! What? What?! Lucy Lawless is 36?!" and so on. I was excited at the prospect of seeing a list that...well, frankly, that had lots of pretty ladies on it, but also I wanted to cheer and mope when I read it. Not everyone is going to agree with the list (personally I don't agree with the number 1 spot, but I have to say after watching S4, Leisha Hailey has really grown on me. Number 3, I think), but everyone has their favourite women, and everyone's taste is personal. I can only hope people don't comment dis-favourably on the list simply because their favourite lady didn't get the position they felt she deserved. For me, it definitely wasn't about the women I voted for winning. It was about putting my votes in and seeing where they came out; seeing who other people thought deserved high spots on the list and grinning when I went through the finished product. It really was the taking part that counted.

Well...that and the looking at all the hot women. I'm shallow.
