Esquire Magazine thinks
Scarlett Johannson is the sexiest woman alive. Although I am quite the SJ fan (no I didn't say
SJP), I'm not sure on how sexy she is. Quirky, talented, interesting, would have made a better
Marie Antoinette in
Sofia Coppola's upcoming film, but THE SEXIEST??? I have to defer on that. But I think it's my commitment to making sure the Anglo definition of beauty is not always at the top of the "Best of" lists that makes me want to counter Esquire's claim. Call me politically correct -- or not. I still love the
vintage photoshoot they did with their "Sexiest Woman Alive". I'd love to recreate it with women of color. And for the record, Scarlett is in my top ten of favorite actresses.
