Not big-bust specific, so posting here in my beloved OTF. Anyway, I'd heard some time ago of a "strangely sexy" list online somewhere... a compliation of public figures (celebs, TV personalities, politicos, etc...) who folks consdidered 'strangely sexy' despite the fact that the listees were somewhat outside of generic mainstream standards of what often constitutes sexual appeal. Some listees <i>were</i> quite a ways out there on the fringes of the 'sexually appealing' spectrum... the only one that I actually recall was Janet Reno... I think that you'll admit that some folks have quite a bit of latitude. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So, I thought that we might start our own list along these lines... basically who you consider sexy even though it's maybe not so obvious by contemporary sitcom/popstar standards. Though I don't consider any of my four nominees to be anything other than sexy, I'm sure some folks here will consider such an opinion on my part to be <i>strange</i> thus I begin the  <b>strangely sexy</b> list:

<b>Allison Janney</b> <a href="http://www.nbc.com/The_West_Wing/bios/Allison_Janney.html" target="_blank">http://www.nbc.com/The_West_Wing/bios/Allison_Janney.html</a>  and <b>Stockard Channing</b> <a href="http://www.nbc.com/The_West_Wing/bios/Stockard_Channing.html" target="_blank">http://www.nbc.com/The_West_Wing/bios/Stockard_Channing.html</a> from NBC's "The West Wing." Janney's recent talk-show appearances promoting the DVD release for Pixar's Finding Nemo show her to be a vivacious and attractive woman despite the fact that she's not cast from one of the usual pop-star-clone molds. Ditto for Channing.
<b>JoAnne Liebler</b> <a href="http://www.inhousecreative.tv/jojo.html" target="_blank">http://www.inhousecreative.tv/jojo.html</a> strapping home improvement show host, formerly of Hometime on PBS, the do-it-yourselfer's ideal project-partner.
<b>Marilyn Milian</b> <a href="http://www.marilynmilian.com/layout.html" target="_blank">http://www.marilynmilian.com/layout.html</a> ...the current jurist presiding over the People's Court, she's feisty, of Portugese descent and undeniably appealing.

Again, I consider all four of these women to simply be sexy regardless of the fact that all of them are a fair bit older than I am and despite the fact that none of them (in their current roles) seems to use their sexual appeal as a major component of their public (marketed) personna... something that can't be said for most singers, actresses, etc... who are sexy in a more obvious or mainstream way.

Though I don't know if it's <i>the</i> original "Strangely Sexy" list I'd heard about, here's the results of a survey with that name conducted by Men's Health magazing [my own comments in brackets]:

1. Hillary Clinton [agreed, intelligence and power are sexually attractive, regardless of your politics]

2. Martha Stewart [also agreed, ignoring her purported personality and ethics issues... a handsome woman]

3. Judy Sheindlin (Judge Judy) [I suppose, but I'd <i>much</i> prefer the People's Court Marilyn Milian wearing nothing but her big bright smile and her birthday suit]

4. Janet Reno [ok, even I have to draw the line somewhere... this I can sort of understand but not personally condone]

5. Patricia Richardson ("Home Improvement") [no duh... she's <i>very</i> popular on **27** fake NGs, one of many 40something sitcom spouses who are sure to get a rise every time]

6. Secretary of State Madeline Albright [sort of in the Janet Reno category... not my personal cup of tea]

7. Lynne Russell (CNN anchor) [agreed, along with quite a few of her peers]

8. Oprah Winfrey [sometimes rackalishus, but I'd usually prefer someone else from the list]

9. Sandra Bernhard (comedienne) [like Martha Stewart you have to ignore the personality but not too hard on the eyes in her own unique way]

10. (tie) Monica Lewinsky, Lucy Lawless("Xena"), JoAnne Liebler ("Home Savvy") [all 3 are fairly obviously sexy IMHO... Monica is voluptuous and juicy, Lucy is vivacious and fit-looking, and as mentioned JoAnne is strong, capable and well-built <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ]



So, who do you consider to be <b>strangely sexy</b> ...don't be shy! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As you might know, she's no longer with us, but Anna Lindh would have been the first Swedish woman coming to mind for me.  (The Swedish Foreign Minister who was assassinated on Sept. 11.)  A charming personality and a smile that probably made more for our diplomatic relations than any foreign policy.  An extremely competent career woman and loving mother, she's the role model I'd want any future daughters (and for that matter, sons) of mine to have.  To many Swedes, she's our equivalent of Princess Di.

Coincidentally, Tomas Bodström, the soccer player who became a lawyer and then went on to become Minister of Justice was voted sexiest man in Sweden a while ago... women have a culture of being more open about these things.  I suspect the phenomenon is very much about the choice of the perfect life partner.

Do you remember the lady congresswoman in the Doonesbury cartoons?  She was based on Milicent Fenwick, a lady in her late 70's to 80's who smoked a pipe (and had many other quirks).  NOT pretty, but you new she was a kind soul and a hell of a lady!  And you know the cartoonist would agree she belongs on this list!  

[DruulEmpire]

I thought former President of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was rather hot.

[Palomine]

Quote:

Agreed. Late night talk show hosts used to make jokes about her and Bush Sr.

[HeavyMetal1980]

Although she's a cartoon, I have always liked Blondie from the "Blondie and Dagwood" comic strips.

And she is quite busty I might add!  

[DruulEmpire]

Occasionally you see a hot royal.  Princess Di never really did it for me so much as Grace of Monaco -- and wasn't there a Princess Stephanie at one time?

There are hot heiresses too.  As if she wasn't rich enough from Seinfeld, the nice and feisty Julia Louis-Dreyfus is, I believe, something like a niece to a European billionaire.  Likewise, I believe I once saw young Athina Onassis looking rather hot.

Finally, I have to mention Queen Noor of Jordan.  She's big in the media now, with her husband gone and her book out, but I noticed her way back when she got married to King Hussein.  I've begrudgingly admired King Hussein -- a (relatively) peaceful neighbor of Israel, a deeply -- and genuinely! -- mourned leader who singlehandedly put his little country on everyone's map, and on top of all that he married Noor.  An enviable man.

[gOOber]

  How about the Swedish princesses?  

 

 

   Particularly Princess Madeleine.      

[sheber]

Betty Aberlin!

[DruulEmpire]

Thanks, gOOb!

Sheb: LOL!  As a Pittsburgher, the dearly departed Mister Rogers is sorely missed by me.

Lady Aberlin is a fair addition -- however, I'm all for leaving out Lady Elaine Fairchild, who's nothing like Caitlin!

While I certainly agree that most of the ladies mentioned above are sexy, and certainly some of them don't count their physical appeal as a major part of their public presence, they strike me as being more of "obvioulsy sexy but somewhat underpublicized" rather than 'strangely sexy.'

Let me rack my brain for another STRANGELY sexy example....

[gOOber]

    Sorry, Palomine,  I`ll try to be on topic this time. I find Toni Francis strangely sexy. She`s not exactly young, pretty or sweet. In fact, she looks like she would like to beat the snot out of someone. I dunno, maybe it has something to do with her breasts.

     

[Palomine]

I didn't mean to sound like a schoolmarm or anything, as I'm all in favor of any OFF topic behavior. It's just that some of the women posted are so obviously (imo) beautiful that classifying them as 'strangely' sexy struck me as odd... they're just plain sexy.

I too have always liked Titanic Toni aka Toni Francis aka Toni Kessering, despite her perpetual scowl. Still, her astounding rack (espeically in her youth, when her body resembled Nadine Jensen's to some degree) sort of pushes her into the obviously-sexy arena... if she had a normal (or less than normal) sized bosom and was still physically desirable, THEN she'd be more easily categorized as strangely sexy.

I recall seeing her in a hc video (maybe an H&S sales tape) years ago. I remember her performance as being VERY half-hearted/unenthusiastic but it was still fun to watch her grapple with a schlong. I don't recall the name of the tape.... maybe it was Big Busty #29?

Added later: yep, I found it... it was Big Busty #29.... WAY too much makeup, a goofy looking corset, a couple VERY brief bits of sucking and a disinterested fuck with the guy finishing on her rack... not so much as a single smile. Still, mighty appealing.

[Palomine]

Aha! I KNEW that I'd think of another, more appropriate Strangely Sexy nominee:

Ellen Degeneres

...see what I mean?

[sheber]

Nothing strange about that. What would be strange is if she found you attractive!
