Magic FM
In a rage against the corporate law machine, me and my wayward colleague Katherine have decided to have the radio blaring at work....even though it's against all work protocols...ohhhhhhh, what are they going to do? Fire me! We are SUCH rebels.
However, the last laugh is most certainly on me as the only station we can get without a hint of interference is Magic. I've never listened to it before, but it appears to be a 'greatest hits from the movies' compilation. It's truly awful. At the moment, 'I knew you were waiting for me' is on. Before this, the soundtrack from that miserable film 'Beaches'. Michael Bolton is surely only a matter of minutes away....no I was wrong...Snow Patrol. Sorry, dan, Snore Patrol. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
This weekend was a good one, in so much as I basically did nothing, except relax. On Saturday night, Steve and I had his mum and sister over for dinner, and in the absence of alcohol, we amused ourselves by watching the 100 greatest sex symbols of all time, on Channel 4, the results of which were compiled using an internet poll.
An internet pole of randy teenagers and equally horny pensioners it seems, what with the featuring of those such as Jenna Jamieson (Steve's mum: 'Who is THAT?' Steve: 'Just about the best, sorry, most popular female porn star', Ali hides amused grin, and glances towards porn stash)
And this was the top ten:
1. Angelina Jolie
2. Elvis Presley
3. Marilyn Monroe
4. Beyonce Knowles
5. Brad Pitt
6. Lara Croft
7. George Clooney
8. Kylie Minogue
9. Johnny Depp
10. Scarlett Johansson
I feel this requires some discussion. I'm not sure this is a good representation at all of the best sex symbols. Sure some of these people are attractive, but this doesn't mean they are sexy. And anyway, how can a games character be number 6, when her living incarnation is number one. Surely this is double counting? Or do the boys who voted for Lara Croft genuinely prefer a women created from some fancy HTML programming? Maybe they know something older men don't.
Jonhny Depp does nothing for me, and Scarlett Johansson with her overpainted lips in those shit maybelline adverts, she has lost it. Granted she looked hot in her pants in Lost in Translation, but she is DULL. Brad, since being with Ange has lost all sex appeal as he is clearly just brow beaten into submission over everything, and that is about as sexy as being made to watch your mum doing a strip tease. And Elvis? I'm sorry Anita, but nothing kills sex appeal like the vision of someone popping their clogs whilst attempting to take a dump.
Lets create our own:
My personal favourite: Jared Leto. Also, Penelope Cruz must SURELY be in the top 5?

ooh blimey - ok, who's sexy? kate winslet, james mcavoy, polly harvey, rachel weisz, jeff bridges, irene jacob, winona ryder, tim burgess, natalie portman, kate jackson, george clooney, eva green, miquita oliver, anna friel, olivia williams, jake and maggie gyllenhaal, tracey emin, julian barratt, charlotte church, erm - can't think of anyone else. probably missed lots of obvious ones.
the C4 list is rubbish.
Charlotte Church? Really? What is sexy about La Church? Is it the curves? or the foul mouth? Agree with La Weisz always effortlessly sexy.
she's sexy for precisely the reason that someone like, say, Keira Knightley, isn't - because although the latter is probably prettier, she is self-conscious about her prettiness, always conjuring faux-model poses and pouts and never looking genuine. La Church is sexy because she doesn't try so hard - she's naturally quite bright, quite witty, pretty, curvy, but she's convincing and sharp and unmannered, and looks like she'd be fun (fun generally, I mean, not just in bed).
Jonathan, I've just spotted Tracey Emin and am stunned. That's a brave choice of sexy...guess she epitomises the 'I am what I am, like it or lump it' sexiness.
she's a darn sight sexier than lara croft, that's for sure! i think she's brilliant - incredibly talented, funny, clever, filthy, obnoxious, outrageous, absurd - she's the polar opposite of anaemic waifs or waxed hollywood airheads.
