I always have problems with these list of the hottest women that come out. They always seem to be filled by the flavor of the month. But Daily Beast's Thinking Man's Sex Symbol list for 2008 is bang on - at least at the top.
So, who was No. 1? No, not Tina Fey (although that would have been a good pick), but rather the gorgeous French Open champion you are now staring at! Ana Ivanovic certainly gorgeous and a heck of a tennis player. She has totally captured my heat.
So, why is she a thinking man's sex symbol? Here is what the list's author, TOURe had to say:
"And when tennis produces a woman so gorgeous that it’s unbelievably hard to take your eyes off her, she’s an insuperable TMSS. And unlike that pathetic cream puff Anna Kournikova, my no 1’s not a frequently double-faulting, habitual first-round loser. No, my no 1 won the French Open this year and reached the finals of the Australian Open weeks before winning in Paris. She’s got a mean forehand, is studying finance online... winning tournaments, and is blowing men away with a butterscotch-coloured face that’s all smooth slopes and haunting eyes. Ivanovic is the most beautiful female professional athlete of all time"
While I still think Anna is my No. 1 sports hottie of all time, Ana is definitely challenging for a top three spot.
Here's the Daily Beast's list:
No.1 Ana Ivanovic
No.2: Tina Fey, American TV actor, producer
No.3: Sarah Silverman, American singer, actor, comedian
No.4: Katie Couric, American TV journalist, writer
No.5: Lisa Ling, American TV journalist
No.6: Meredith Vieira, American journalist and TV celebrity
No.7: M.I.A., stage name of Mathangi ‘Maya’ Arulpragasam, British song writer and artist of Tamil descent
No.8 Jhumpa Lahiri
No.9: Samantha Power, Irish American journalist, author and academic
No.10: Jennifer Granholm, governor of Michigan
