Got your attention, didn't I? :-)

Well, the subject I want to bring up isn't necessarily sex per
se, but sexiness.  But I just couldn't pass up the opportunity
for that great header :-)

Now then, to get to the subject....I just got on to a mailing
list for the CBS late night series "Forever Knight" (anyone else
watch it?) and there's currently a discussion going on of women's
ideas of sexy vs. men's (specifically the ideas of men in charge
at networks).  Now, most of us women think the star of the show,
Geraint Wyn Davies is totally sexy (hubba hubba drool!).  But he
isn't sexy in the typical Sylvester Stallone way.  He's not a
body builder, wears lots of turtlenecks and buttoned up collars,
doesn't look like a football player etc.  But he's sexy as all
get-out.  It looks like Letterman may be getting his slot, which
is what prompted the discussion...that network execs don't know
they have a show with sex appeal (without being R-rated).  One
person brought up the last season of Remington Steele, when they
brought on Jack Scalia thinking he was sexy so the women would
like him as much as Pierce Brosnan (who was sexy too!).
Obviously they were wrong.  So, what I'm hoping to do is get
ideas of what is sexy.  Do the guys here agree with us women?  Is
it men in general or folks in charge at the studios who don't get
it?
     Like, on Days...obviously the Days execs think Patrick
Muldoon is sexy.  He looks like an athelete, has those clean-cut
good looks.  Well, as far as sex appeal, this woman would rate
him below Ivan.  Same for the late Tim.  So ladies, who do you
think of as sexy and why?  My list (big surprise!)...
Nick - the character had a great sense of humor, was also very
romantic.  George has beautiful eyes and I personally would kill
for that complexion and cheekbones!
Orpheus - Great cheekbones, played by a guy named George Deloy,
I'm sensing a trend here! :-)
Lawrence - Used to be sexy, losing it fast now that he's a wimp!
Victor - Don't know why, but I'd call him sexy!
Jack - I think his sense of humor does it for me...

So, I guess for me sexiness is based on personality (which
Muldoon/Asstin doesn't have!) and to an extent on the aura of
danger (all the guys on my list have been villains at one time or
another).  What about everyone else?  Guys?  Do y'all find Carly
and Billie irrestibly sexy and beautiful?  Why or why not?  And
who do you think of as sexy?

(Just to start a thread that's neither negative nor
Carly-bashing..yet)

Rosita, who should be studying but is too exhausted and depressed
to really care.
