it's gonna be a HOT summer... my top 25 ladies.

so afterellen's reader-compiled list of the 100 hottest women (as a response to maxim's 100 hottest list) made me think of who my favourite hotties are... some of which may not be a surprise at all...

in regards to the two above lists, i agreed and disagreed with some of the ladies on both.. and came to think of some who were on neither list.

while i love to objectify love many ladies, i cut my list down to a nice, round 25.. mostly cuz i'm far too lazy to list 100 of my own. so here are 25 of my favourite ladies with a nice little explanation and some sexy pictures for your viewing pleasure...


1. EMILY HAINES
if you've been here before, you should know by now that i'm pretty much neurotically obsessed in love with emily. (if you're new, see here, here & here). her voice makes my heart melt, and she makes my heart race. i don't really care about the fact that she's canadian, just that she sends chills up my spine. (if you don't know her, look up the band metric or check her website for her solo stuff -- also known as the greatest music ever made)


2. FAMKE JANSSEN
i just generally think famke is one of the most gorgeous women in the world. you need look no further than any of the x-men movies or a second season episode of nip/tuck to know what i'm talking about. she exudes sex appeal, and i'm feeling it.


3. JORDANA BREWSTER
so i loved her after the faculty and [obviously] d.e.b.s. made me love her that much more. i'm a huge fan of brunettes and she does her breed more than justice. she looks wholesome, but also looks like she knows how to throw down, and she can throw down with me any time.


4. MISSY PEREGRYM
i must refer to my earlier post for my favourite nickname ever: missy is what i like to call walking sex. and while i'm usually too busy objectifying staring at her (oh who the fuck am i kidding, i'm objectifying her) to form words, i'll try here. uhm. i hear she's on heroes now, but i don't really watch tv... this picture is making me re-think that decision... mmm...


5. RACHEL SHELLEY
again, one of my fav women to fawn over (ie- here). rachel as helena on the l word makes me want to jog... all day... as long as she's with me and in a sweatsuit... mmmmm (however, i won't get started on my current problems with the l word or we'll be here all night...). the accent doesn't hurt either--i'm cake, so i love me an accent.


6. ELIZA DUSHKU
me likey. me likey a lot. as faith in buffy? hello. i'd let her stake me any day... except you know, not with a stake... uhm awkward? nah, but eliza's hot, and apparently she's got a new series coming up on fox, so i'm hoping to catch some super sexy clips. (if you feel lacking in eliza goodness, you can get your fix here... ps- of course it's a slash vid, would you expect any less?)


7. SARAH SILVERMAN
to be honest, i didn't get the sarah silverman appeal until quite recently. and then i saw her on the mtv awards, and wow. no fucking kidding. any girl who's not afraid to be that offensive with the target sitting right in the audience? fucking bank. i might even be willing to look past the jimmy kimmel thing, cuz eww creepy. (oh and she also gets the biggest tease of the year award)


8. EVAN RACHEL WOOD
it'd be so much easier to make a joke if i were a dude -- something to do with wood for sure. but besides all that, she's smoking and perhaps the only girl on this list that's actually around my age. and with credentials like thirteen, pretty persuasion, and running with scissors -- she's clearly got a long, bright future of pseudo-indie flicks (ie- movies i'll acutally watch) ahead of her. (and for peace of mind, i will consciously ignore the whole marilyn manson thing... cuz again, eww. why do all the hottest straight chicks end up with the biggest douchebags?)


9. OLIVIA WILDE
cuz hello. are you looking at those eyes? (i'd like to actually fake the high horse and say that i chose this pic cuz it accents the eyes, but it's more likely i chose this cuz there wasn't some completely slutted up pic hehe) i'd like to say where the fuck has she been since the o.c.? i'm sure she's been in stuff, but nothing i've seen... so basically she needs to be in something else. i'm thinking another gay role... i could live with that :)


10. FEIST
another *ahem* canadian. random. but yeah, feist is another singer that looks as good as she sounds. and wow, does she sound good. doesn't hurt that she's close friends with peaches either (and peaches is just fucking awesome). if you haven't heard of her, or heard any of her stuff, i suggest you watch the vid for mushaboom and play a game i like to call 'find peaches!' (and it's not that hard.... she's in a fucking pink jacket...)


11. GINA GERSHON
the only reason gina didn't make the top 10 is because i actually haven't thought about her in a while... i completely forgot about her until i (randomly enough) saw her on celebrity poker recently... and no i don't watch poker on television, i'm not a douche. :P but yeah, she's definately looking as sexy as ever, and man, her lips kill me.


12. PIPER PERABO
um. coyote ugly. that's all. but nah, from ugly to lost & delirious to imagine me & you, this is def a girl who's not afraid to play gay... and that's a good thing cuz i'd watch her all day. whether she's dancing on a bar, jumping off a rooftop, or getting it on with #21, it doesn't matter. she makes it look good. very, very good.


13. MIA KIRSHNER
i've called her "my l girl" before, and that ain't no joke. as much as i love helena peabody, i've got a soft spot in my heart for poor, misguided jenny. oh fuck it, who am i kidding, i always go for the fuck ups, and jenny is the perfect example. neurotic? check. paranoid? check. ooh, a potential for schizophrenia is allllll i need. but nah, jenny aside, mia is one of the sexiest women in hollywood (or, more accurately, vancouver) and totally deserves a spot on my list.. and in my bed in my heart


14. TRICIA HELFER
even if you've never seen BSG (and yes, i am a big enough geek to use the acronym) you must have seen her somewhere... i'm thinking maxim, fhm, or the like. she is an internationally renowned super model, and one of the best canadian models in the industry (not to mention, former host of canada's next top model). and in BSG, just as fucking sexy. like whoa.


15. MISCHA BARTON

the o.c. died midway through the first season she wasn't there... that definately says something... but it says something that has nothing to do with the fact she's on this list. because this list is mostly about aesthetic, and my oh my is she aesthetically pleasing. i guess this is another one where people may disagree, but in addition to psychotic women, i also tend to go for women who look like they are malnourished... i really don't know why. but she can poke her bones at me any time. (i actually laughed as i typed "bone", and that's sad.. lol)


16. SCARLETT JOHANSSON
i think she may be the most universally appealing woman on this list (esp. since i'm not down with angelina since she adopted those 500 babies and started banging the pitt). she was featured rather high on both of the aforementioned lists, and has topped a couple as well. and she's not just a pretty face (although she's a very, very pretty face) she's also def got some acting skills. if men and women alike can appreciate the classic beauty, there's gotta be something right going on.


17. JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT
sadly, i was totally considering typing her name as "j-love" or something equally absurd. yeah, way back in the days of i know what you did last summer, i was staring at her chest rather than the "scary" aspects of the movie (not to mention buffy was there too, hello eye candy). i'm not really up on what we'll loosely refer to as her "current tv career"... all i know is her show has something to do with all that psychic shit. same reason i don't watch medium and will never watch it. but i'll watch her... she's hot.

(*oh, and i just remembered the name is the ghost whisperer (i think?) cuz i was totally gonna call it "the horse whisperer")


18. MANDY MUSGRAVE
wow... this is the first "sexy photo" of mandy i've found, and wow. she's so pseudo-innocent (well, non-softcore) on SON, and even on Girltrash she's slated to be some poor, misguided kid. she's clearly not a kid, and seeing some of the pictures i've seen, i'm really hoping she's legal ;) oh, and if they de-gay her character on SON (as the rumours suggest) she's so off my list. (isn't that sad? haha)


19. KEIRA KNIGHTLY
not for pirates, cuz i'm actually not a fan of those movies. (orlando bloom makes me hurl). but because of a little movie called bend it like beckham, because lezzie-subtext was all i really needed. she's just strikingly beautiful (although she's another super-skinny chick, so again, this could be just me) and of course, extra points for the accent. grr


20. KATE WINSLET
so glad she evolved beyond titanic, because (although i loved it at the time -- as did everyone... even you, you liar) fuck that. can you imagine if that was what she was best known for? although i just remembered that you see the goods in that movie... and that they're good. but with follow-ups like eternal sunshine, finding neverland, and little children, she's another one with an exceptionally bright future ahead of her... complete with accent bonus points.


22. LENA HEADEY
and rounding off the british threesome (mmm. i'm just going to imagine that for a minute)... is miss lena headey. most people know her now because of her "breakout" role in 300, but i know her much better for her "out" role in imagine me & you. who didn't love seeing her woo piper? i mean, come on. what a beauty. (and, of course, accent points)


22. PARKER POSEY
what can i say? i just love her... especially in for your consideration (which if you haven't seen, you should) where she plays an actress playing a gay character... what a set up. but my fav posey line is: "dying is easy! playing a lesbian is hard!". if you like christopher guest movies, it's worth a watch. and if you like pepsi commercials, posey's got that covered too. something for all tastes :)


23. SARA FOSTER
hadn't really seen her outside of d.e.b.s. til i saw her on entourage as herself... then i realized herself is really hot (gotta love grammar). i know she's been in other movies, like the big bounce -- which i've clearly never seen, but really... d.e.b.s. is all that matters. and again, little miss perfect score is so my type.


24. ERIN KELLY
otherwise (and possibly exclusively) known as "annabelle" from loving annabelle. if you haven't seen it, you should... although i, like many others, hate the ending, which i won't ruin for you. and if you haven't seen it, you should check out the extended trailer to get a taste of what you're in for. and bonus? she also does actually sing the song in the movie with her band the danger flowers, who you can check out on their myspace.


25. LEISHA HAILEY
yes, she was #1 on afterellen's list, but i don't know. she doesn't really scream "hot" to me... more "adorable". (especially if you're considering her as her character alice... which would totally be someone i'd go for cuz she's so neurotic). and i loved the murmurs, which totally gets her bonus. and the alice quotes do it too... my favourite simply being "this coffee tastes like poopy-shit"... i can't tell you how many times i've said that :D (oh, and just in case you need a reminder of alice's cuteness, here's the s4 basketball game -- oh the scream :D)


so yes, that's my personal list of 25. i'm sure i'll kick myself later for forgetting someone or some shit like that, but really, i'll just blog about it later.

anyway, back to being assaulted by homework.
later all :)

16.5 reasons why i fucking love canada.

so i'm not gonna go into some froofy "oh, i love canada" type bullshit, this is more about the parts of canada that make me love it... the lady parts

the other night when i was lying in bed (sounds like a bad prelude to slash) i started to think about how many incredibly HOT, famous canadian women there are.... in a purely platonic way of course. in light of my pleasant musings, i decided to make up a list of my absolute favourite canadians ...although this may be viewed as just a way for me to get to look at pictures of pretty ladies :)

"hainer, you have balls of steel."

let's ignore the fact the night started out with two [i'd say] 16-17 year old girls who were hammered (or possibly on e) busting into the lounge and asking if we'd make out with them...

on to the important things. lol


EMILY FUCKING HAINES MAN. if i wasn't in love before, i am now. this is the girl i'm gonna marry if ever there were one. fuck. if you've heard metric but not emily's solo stuff, you're so missing out.

the stripped down, straining vocals in combination with a grand piano, string quartet, trumpet, drummer, bassist, and synth. holy shit. it was like a religious experience. i'm so glad it was at the music hall (seated), which has AMAZING acoustics. nothing else would've done the set (or emily) justice. there were tears man, it was just so beautiful.

unfortunately i missed the october show, too slow on gettin tickets -- and thus feeling like a dumbass afterwards. but in any case, i'm not that mad i missed 'see vous play' -- i can't imagine the acoustics in kool haus being all that flattering. i've seen a few vids, and i'm just so glad i made it to the concert hall. man.

"reading in bed" and "nothing and nowhere". i fear i'll never be able to listen to the album versions of these songs ever again. it'll never be the same! lol.

i know i'm bordering on creepy-obsessive here, but fuck man. i'm in love haha.

here's a vid someone shot at the show (January 6, 2007. The Danforth Music Hall. Toronto) of "maid needs a maid", accompanied by some adorable banter with the audience :)


fav em lyric?
"your mouth should be working for me, for free"

fam candid em quote?
"bros before hos yo"

fav quote between me and my friends?
amanda: "yeah, i'd take her home."
me: "man, i'd take her right here."
amanda: "on the sidewalk?"
me: "yeah, i'd even take her in that sketchy alley. it's emily man."

ps- unfortunately the dream sequence never took form :(
maybe next time..

dreams, and pretty things.


so... i have random dreams. i never remember them. for me to remember a dream there has to be something out of the ordinary or exceptionally significant.
(see: last night's dream.)


disclaimer: didn't listen to emily haines at ALL yesterday, and haven't watched SoN since the finale... so whoa. mind you the emily concert is on saturday, so maybe it's an omen.... mmm...

THE DREAM

so we're at the concert, me and my friends. we're front row (of course) getting steamrolled into the gates. emily's on stage doing her thing (which seems, as always, to hypnotize EVERY girl in the building). and then it happens... eye contact. my eyes to hers, hers to mine. the set continues and of course i'm completely transfixed. she closes out with "doctor blind", then hands me a note before she exits.

what i remember (and possibly the dream itself) skips ahead here.

all of a sudden we're in a bar.. not just any bar, but a bar i actually went to with my cousin when i was in finland. random. anyway, emily buys 71 (yes, exactly 71) shots of something i've never heard of (i'm thinking my mind made it up), and we get drunk with her.

then for some reason gabby christian (a.k.a. spencer from SoN) is there, at the afterparty, and we seem to hit it off. (should mention right here that i think this is odd cuz i think i usually go after more of an ashley.) we're dancing and whatever...

i lose some time here too

and all i know is the fuzzy part before i wake up is me and gabby, her on my lap, and us kissin on the edge of a bed... not my bed, but it kinda looks like the bed in my friend's place. [end scene]

and this is where i woke up, full on like, "what the fuck was that?" don't get me wrong, it was good... just unexpected. and gabby christian? random. was it the wine? was it that i watched tipping the velvet last night? that could explain the whole performer making eye contact thing (although it lacked the rose). but gabrielle? oh well. she's a cutie so it's all good :)
and if i met gabby and emily on the same night i'd die... wow.
i hope this happens on saturday lol

parting note?
EMILY TOMORROW wOOt!!

bored on the bus... slash gushfest

(note: actually written this morning on the bus..)

so i’m on the greyhound again, headed back to another semester “abroad”. i suppose i miss toronto when i’m gone, but it just feels great to get away from the parents.. sometimes family is just too much to deal with.

yep, second semester of my fourth year commences today. can't say as i'm that excited about that either. i know the workload that's coming towards to me and as soon as i get back it's errands galore. ew. bright point? get to see the roomies. not to mention a gal by the name of EMILY HAINES is playing this friday -- sure to brighten up my week :) yum, emily. she's gotta be my #1 crush, like whoa.


so i included a picture of her for those who don't know her. she's the lead singer of metric and released her 'solo' album (with the soft skeleton -- a.k.a. whoever's available from broken social) "knives don't have your back" this past fall. mmm. if ever there were super fantastic mellow music made, it's emily man. i personally suggest "maid needs a maid".. or "doctor blind".. or "nothing and nowhere".. or the whole album.

(if you haven't seen the vid for "doctor blind" you can watch it and read a rather interesting essay deconstructing it here:
http://obtusity.blogspot.com/2006/12/all-lost-in-supermarket.html)

ok, so i may be a little biased (albeit obsessive) but i've loved her since day one. i've seen metric countless times... not to mention i've touched her (ya, ok, that sounds a little creepy). and although she's notorious for being extremely difficult and kind of a bitch... i'd let her treat me like shit anytime, then i'd smile and ask for more ;)

*drool*

i say "so" alot.. apparently all my paragraphs start with it... oh well

i had a dream about em a couple months back... don't quite remember the details (i usually don't remember dreams at all) but i know it had something to do with one of us being a vampire and 'sire'-ing the other or something like that...

hmm... come to think of it maybe that was just because i watched buffy and listened to em before bed.. oh well, i remember it being quite sexy, so maybe buffy and emily should be my evening ritual :D

anyway. to all those headed back to wonderful academia, here's to you.
raise a glass, grab some ass, and study some if time allows.

parting quote:
i wish i were your derivative so i could lie tangent to your curves

OH, and HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL
