Halle Berry Is The Sexiest

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND HALLE BERRY ALWAYS WORTH THE WEIGHT
Esquire has named the stunning 42 year-old actress the sexiest woman alive. That is pretty impressive. Considering that industry has such a morbid fascination with youth I would say this is one of Halle Berry’s greatest achievements. We won’t even mention Catwoman. It is good to see she is still being recognized as a looker. Halle was becoming a popular choice for chocolate lab dog names. Not that it was ever intended as a negative connotation. I am sure the owners would tell you their pooches are beautiful.

It is interesting that Esquire is able to nail down their selection to a single person. I have always believed that the selection of one person on the entire planet is incredibly presumptuous. I’m sure the title will carry with it tremendous endorsement opportunities. Her face will appear on the next high tech sports ankle braces. Wherever she lives will probably become the most visited city in world history. Old Barney Miller cast members will show up in the latest beauty ads gawking at Ms. Berry as she goes strolling by. Her face will show up on a list of monthly moon signs somewhere instructing other women how to conduct themselves and what astrological signs they are most likely to marry.

I would imagine the promotional opportunities behind the title are tremendous. It’s interesting to think how other big name starlets feel about it. Jennifer Lopez is a paparazzi favourite and probably fancies herself deserving of the title. Now she may not be able to tell you how many baseball teams are in the American league but I can assure you many a man wished he could have gotten to first base with her. Jennifer is sexy but not like Halle. Jennifer is lucky she has a career. She has a rump like she has enjoyed many big apple donuts and coffee. I say that not because it matters, only because the fascination with looks has gotten way out of hand.

Most of the young Hollywood starlets today are starving themselves and have ridiculous body images. The emphasis should be on talent. There is no denying that the industry thrives on looks. The beauty conglomerates have turned it into a billion dollar business. However, those girls should know there’s nothing wrong with dropping the celery stick and grilling beef tenderloin. Jennifer aint all that skinny and she really isn’t all that talented either. Doesn’t seem to matter. That’s why it’s nice that Halle grabbed the honour this year. Ms. Berry is more than just good looks. Truth be told I personally know at least fifty other women who are sexier. There’s something more important going on.

For anyone interested in looking closer, the award might actually mean something different this time. It means that people might find it sexy to be a good actress and not just good looking. It means that people should pay closer attention to afro American actresses and afro American dancers and afro American comedians. It means that although there are still a lot of problems when it comes to tolerance of all things that make us human, we have managed to move forward a little bit. It means the top 100 baby girl names will include Halle.

I’m not saying that the title carries with it nothing but a bed of roses. She is famous, she lives in Los Angeles and she may have her own Stacy Elizabeth Beshear to deal with in the future. Hopefully that experience isn’t in her view. By the way this Stacy Elizabeth Beshear person is not to be mistaken with the Elizabeth from The View. Granted they both have problems, but they are two very different people. That’s another story.

A good choice and hopefully one that means a little something extra because after the lights go out and the make-up comes off, Ms. Berry is still sexy ... for all the right reasons.
