To all of the goddesses out there

Finally a person in the entertainment industry that got the idea. I couldn't describe sexy better myself.

"Let’s start with what I don’t mean by sexy.

I don’t mean pretty. Katie Holmes and Natalie Portman are pretty but I’ve never found them particularly hot. Oh, and I don’t mean hot, either. Yes, Jessica Simpson in her Daisy Dukes is hot. But for all the back-and-forth about her intelligence - she’s dumb as a stump; no wait, she’s smart like a fox; no wait, she’s got an I.Q. of 150 - there’s still a stunned look in her eyes that is the antithesis of sexy. She may turn out to be a good comic actress - I like her line reading of “I think something bounced up into my undercarriage” - and, with the help of a personal trainer, her body is now one of the hottest around. But sexy doesn’t come from a personal trainer.

Sexy is balance. Cool and hot at the same time. Interest and disinterest. It’s not passive but it’s not in a hurry either. It seems to arrive at that moment in a woman’s life when she’s still hot but can no longer rely on it completely. Or maybe it arrives when a woman decides to take charge. Or maybe I just like women taking charge."

Number ten started out great with Sigourney Weaver, but as he went along I think he sold out. There was no mention of Angela Basset, Nicole Kidman, Rene Russo, Madeline Stowe, etc. and there's no way in the world that Kelly Preston or Annabella Sciorra (or some of his other chosen sexy) beat these women in the sexy department.
