Okay, we here at Holiday Golightly are very much "Girl's Girls".  And this is very much a "Girl's Forum", where we want to support and champion and defend our Girls when necessary.

The issue at hand:  Maxim magazine voted Sarah Jessica Parker the "Unsexiest Woman Alive" .

The November 2007 issue of Maxim magazine offered it's readers some food for thought with their "Unsexiest Women Alive" feature.  And I use the word "food" in the same way I would describe aerosol cheese in a can as "food". 

For some reason, the list's controversy has resurfaced this month. A friend pointed out, it may have something to do with the fact that the Sex & The City movie release is nearing (MAY 30TH - MARK YOUR CALENDARS), and PR people may have dredged up the issue for more publicity. I would be thrilled if SATC could glean something positive out of the unnecessary roughness.

When I heard that Maxim had a feature devoted to who they thought the Unsexiest Women were, I rolled my eyes. I mean really.  I imagined the list was probably written in crayon, in someone's backyard treehouse.  Is everyone at Maxim 11?

Whether or not you find SJP, or the other nominees, sexy - creating an entire magazine feature around it is in such poor taste.

It might also be in poor taste to re-print part of the list, but I'm trying to make a point.  Work with me here.

These were the "bottom five":

5. Britney Spears - Well, okay. But only okay, because at some point I'm sure she was ironically on their "Hottest" list, and maybe they're making a case for the "Just Say No" thing.  Just say no to drugs, or to Kevin Federline, or to Cheetos as a breakfast food.  We hear she is on the road to recovery, though, and we're pulling for her.

4. Madonna - Oh come on. Jimmy Kimmel just admitted (in Elle magazine) that Madonna was his first adolescent crush, and also admitted what goes hand-in-hand with an adolescent boy's crush.  Maybe "hand-in-hand" isn't the correct phrase... Who is Maxim kidding?

3. Sandra Oh- I don't think they know who she is. Or they're frightened of her bossy, no B.S. character on "Grey's Anatomy". TV isn't real, boys. She probably wouldn't stomp your delicates in real life. Probably.

2. Amy Winehouse- see #5 - being all smacked out is definitely unsexy.

1. Sarah Jessica Parker- and we're back to the discussion...

This is one of several photos of Ms. Parker, courtesy of W Magazine, taken 6 months after giving birth to her son.  I very badly want to be unsexy like this.

I also discovered that Maxim created a list of "TV's Least Appealing Ladies", which starts off with CNN's venerable Christiane Amanpour at #10.  My contacts can no longer be located, as the furious eye-rolling has flung them far across the room.

So, with these lists Maxim has proven itself to be both unsexy and unappealing, as well as just plain irrelevant.  Unless you're 11.

(Ed note:  no offense meant to 11 year-olds).
