Her Royal Highness, Rania Abdullah - No Ordinary Queen

If I had to describe Jordan’s Queen Rania Al Abdullah, I would have a bit of difficulty in doing so. Not a lot; just a bit. It’s not so much that she’s difficult to describe, I think the complication is a result of Her Royal Highness’s complexity of character coupled with the fact that she is one of the most gorgeous, beautiful, sophisticated, sexy, desirable, intelligent, smart, confident,

Hottie Friday: Nelly Furtado

It's been a little while since a hottie has graced the pages of Slym Pickings and for this I beg your forgiveness; I've been busy. I don't think I will get a lot of objections (if any) that Canadian singer of Portuguese descent, Nelly Kim Furtado deserves a rightful place on this list.Does she have what it takes to be here? You bet your ass! Can she hold her own in a room filled with other

Hottie Friday: Anastacia

The first thing I need to do is apologize for the lack of activity on my blog (I know I've done this several times over but I feel the need to do it once more). The second thing I need to do is let you know that Hottie Friday could not exist without this week's hottie being included on the list!And I know what's coming; Why Slym, Why? And here's the very simple answer: Because Anastacia Lyn

Hottie Friday: Mallika Sherawat

Today I have but one question to ask. It just doesn't seem appropriate enough for me to just say it. Me, I say it would have the effect of being quite inadequate. So I ask you, "How damn HOT and SEXY is Indian bombshell Mallika Sherawat?! How Hot? To what degree is Miss Sherawat hot? What level does your thermometer rise to when she's present?!I've asked myself the same question and believe me

Hottie Friday: Missy Peregrym

(most of the pics enlarge when clicked)Excuse me one minute while I get this off my chest: "Missy Peregrym, Please Marry Me!" Marry me and I promise that I will give you all the little things your heart desires." Let the records show that I said little things; this is because frankly I cannot afford the big things those are the things that mean the most and damn you make way more money than I

Hottie Friday: Elizabeth Hurley

The first thing I need to do is apologize for the lack of activity on my blog this week. It has been a truly rough week for me; extremely tiresome and stressful. I'm truly grateful that it's the weekend. Thank you all for being so patient. But this blog is not about me so on to more pleasurable things.Eizabeth Jane Hurley deserves her spot on my Hottie Friday list. I developed a serious crush on

Hottie Friday: Gabrielle Union (2nd Time Around)

There are hot women, there are really hot women, there are women who are extremely hot and those who are super hot. Well, Gabrielle Monique Union falls into none of those categories. No way; Gabby is sizzling, she's smoking, she is off-the-chart and out-of-this-world hot! She has a body to die for!Listen, Gabby is so hot that she's made it onto my Hottie Friday list a second time! This is a

Hottie Friday: Carmen Electra

Say what you want about Carmen Electra but there's one thing that cannot be denied; Carmen Electra is smoking hot! If she walks by and the wind so much as lifts her dress even just an inch upwards, I know I'd be hitting the pavement immediately after.Electra deserves her spot on my list of hotties for Fridays. She made a brief appearance on T's Hottie List but that was among other hotties. Carmen

Hottie Friday: Jodie Foster

OMG!!! I'm blogging about Jodie Foster!!! This is surreal! This isn't happening! Do you know how many Jodie Foster blogs, articles and interviews I've read and how excited they made me?Can you even begin to imagine how super excited I am to be writing this post? Do you have the slightest clue how long I've been meaning to do this? If you only knew.Do you know that I'm a little apprehensive about

Hottie Friday: Jennifer Love Hewitt

The more I do these Hottie Friday posts the more I realize that my sense of hot is shared by many. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking yeah sure Slym, right. We all know that you go out and browse hot lists and then make your selection. And to that I say, "You could not be more wrong!" Hell I love women, I adore women, I admire women, I love to appreciate the beauty of the marvel that is

Hottie Friday: Leonor Varela

OK. Let’s just say that you are walking along the pavement and get to the corner. As you make your way around the bend, there’s a puddle of water that you did not notice and you slip and bump your head. You wake up two days later in the hospital and the doctor says to you, “Everything is just fine with you. You are being released.”So you’re making your way home and for some reason this beautiful

Hottie Friday: Sanaa Lathan

There are many things that I admire about Sanaa McCoy Lathan. Of course one of them is that she is so naturally beautiful. And this being Hottie Friday, I should probably be focusing most of my attention on that fact.However, allow me to depart from pouring over her hotness, at least for a little while. One of the things I admire most about Sanaa Lathan is the progress she has made from the start

Hottie Friday: Kristanna Loken

Kristanna Sommer Loken is HOT! No, make that Kristanna Sommer Loken is Super HOT! Yeah. That's much better. I feel as if I have done her hotness justice.You need to brace yourself for this week's hottie. We all know that hotness comes in different degrees. Kristanna Loken brings the heat! She brings heatwaves, hot flashes; she'll make you break out in sweat. So crank down the AC, open the windows

Hottie Friday: Padma Lakshmi

Padma, Padma ooh how delicious *sigh*. I just want to serve up something nice and tasty. All of a sudden I'm feeing very hungry. I've developed quite an appetite. Whether or not this appetite is for food is another story altogether.Is there any denying how hot, sexy and desirable this woman is? The host of Top Chef since it's second season (2006) is so hot that they do not need to light the

Hottie Friday: Leryn Franco

Leryn *pant* Franco! *thud*. I know, this is no way to start a blog. It is embarrassing to say the least. But come on now, Leryn *breathe* Franco is *breathe* wow!!! She's *thud* ooh!This just won't do. Words fail me (and so do my knees). This is so wrong in so many ways! Wrong in that I'm very likely making a fool of myself. On all other counts, this is so damn right!What do I know about Franco?

Hottie Friday: Eva Mendes

If I did not include Cuban-American Eva Mendes in my Hotties list then I would personally go and get my head examined. Moreover, if any hot list of any kind was compiled and Eva wasn’t on it then whoever created these lists would need to have their head and mental state evaluated.Hell Eva is so hot that I’d jump through hoops for her. I’d give up everything and go join the traveling circus if she

The British Invasion: Keira Knightley

I am seriously at a loss as to where to begin with a post on Keira Christina Knightley. I’ve gone out and done my research in terms of background and the info on her is vast. It’s very difficult to fathom how much this 23 year old young woman has accomplished since mbarking on her acting career back in 1993.I think I first need to express my admiration for this young woman who constantly strives

Hottie Friday: Jordana Brewster

Let me just get this off my chest right now, right here! I urge you, do not; I repeat, do not hold anything that is to follow against me. I should not be held responsible for anything that comes out of my mouth via my fingers into this post.So here goes... I think JORDANA BREWSTER is mind-blowing! I go bananas over her! I would sweep her floor just to be in the same space as her! She makes me

Hottie Friday: Sarah Shahi

SARAH (do click to enlarge the images, you'll regret it if you don't)SHAHIISSOOO!!!FUCKING!!!HOT!!!And that's it for this week's Hottie Friday. I don't give a shit about how many movies she's been in. How many more she will be in. Don't give a shit about how many nominations or wins she's had. If you need to know that go look it up.All that matters is:1) It's Hottie Friday2) Sarah Shahi is sooo

Hottie Friday: Eva Longoria

Well look who it is! If it ain't Eva Jacqueline Longoria Parker! And damn! Is she ever looking good? Come to think of it, does she ever not look good? If she ever does, I'm certainly not aware of it and definitely have not seen it. Longoria is h to the o to the t hot!!!She's is most recently well known for her role as Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives but many very likely know her from her
