Top 20 Gorgeous Ladies 2010

That's right, it's that time of year again. And I have to say, it's my favourite time of year.

Let's see how my taste has changed over the year, shall we?

20. Clementine Ford. (Last year: 16.)

You'll probably remember Clementine from The L Word as Molly Kroll. Or you might just remember her because her Mother is Cybill Shepherd. OR you could remember her because she's dating Linda Perry of 3 non-blondes. Whatever, you'll remember her. She's hot.

19. Kathryn Prescott. (Last year: 19.)

Remember when the word 'Naomily' wasn't even on the lesbian vocabulary radar? No, me neither. As one half of the teenage gay couple on the UK teen show Skins, Ms. Prescott has captured the heart of many women, both under-age and of age.

18. Michelle Rodriguez. (New entry.)

I have to admit, I never used to see the attraction to M. Rod. (Hence her absence from last year's list.) However, now I feel like I must have been crazy. Most of you will know her from Lost or perhaps Bloodrayne, but I just know her for being hot.

17. Zooey Deschanel. (New entry.)

Know what? Quirky is in. Meet Zooey Deschanel: indie flick princess and 50s style beauty. Every time I see her, I think I'm looking at a model from the Some Like It Hot era. Those eyes, that hair and especially that zany personality are what makes Zooey so gorgeous.

16. Lea Michele. (New entry.)

Why wasn't Lea on last year's list, you ask? Well, because last year, no one knew her. Unless you're a hardcore musical theatre buff who knows her from her Spring Awakening days. Anyways, most people just know Lea from Glee. Her character Rachel is probably the least hot person ever. But Lea? Lea is a hottie.

15. Penelope Cruz. (New entry.)

You know what they say: everyone loves a little Latino. Oh, is it just me who says that? Well in my opinion, a girl with an accent is hot. But a Spanish girl with an accent? Too hot for words.

14. Jennifer Beals. (Last year: 8.)

Possibly the oldest woman on our list, but she's definitely still got it. Whether you know her from playing pushy Bette Porter on The L Word or from 80s classic dance film Flashdance, you'll know that Beals is the hottest over 40 to grace this list.

13. Lily Loveless. (Last year: 11.)

I remember how much of a controversy it was last year for me to put Loveless ahead of Prescott. Well, she's done it again. I can't help it: I have a thing for blondes. And the quality of Loveless' acting and her character Naomi in Skins probably adds to her attraction for me.

12. Sophia Bush. (New entry.)

Why wasn't Sophia on my list last year? To tell you the truth, I have no f*cking idea. She is probably most well known from her role in One Tree Hill, but it was seeing her in John Tucker Must Die and Nip/Tuck that made me fall in love with her. Mainly because she kisses girls. Mmm.

11. Fergie. (New entry.)

Okay, I admit, I'm drooling just looking at the above picture. I can't help it. That voice, that body... The fact that she's bisexual makes her even hotter. There are no words to describe Fergie other than 'exquisite'.

10. Megan Fox. (Last year: 3.)

Ahh Megan. Does she need an introduction? She claims she's bisexual. She claims she wants to wrestle Olivia Wilde. She says some pretty damn stupid things. But stick some tape over her mouth and we're good to go.

9. Jill Bennett. (Last year: 5.)

Don't you just love those girls who are so obviously gay yet so feminine at the same time? Well, I do. I'd say that was pretty much 'my type'. And Jill ticks all the boxes. She's fiery, fantastic and bloody hilarious. Tune into series 3 of Dante's Cove if you want to see her in action.

8. Cheryl Cole. (New entry.)

I remember kicking myself last year for forgetting to put Cheryl in my top 20. And that was before she had a successful solo career. Having recently toured with the Black Eyed Peas, Cheryl is definitely one of my favourite British ladies. And she'll be happy to know that she beat pal Fergie in my list.

7. Angelina Jolie. (Last year: 4.)

Yeah, yeah, the picture above is only of Angelina's back. So sue me. That is the damn finest back I have ever seen and that's the way it's staying. Lips. Eyes. Smoky voice. Angelina has everything. She even has Brad Pitt. Damn.

6. Julie Benz. (New entry.)

I feel like no photographs actually capture the true beauty of Julie Benz. Star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dexter and most recently playing a lap dancing lesbian in Desperate Housewives, I believe that Benz has the power to turn and gay men straight.

5. Rachel Shelley. (Last year: 17.)

It may sound silly, being British and all, but one of the main things that attracts me to Rachel Shelley is her incredibly sexy accent. Not only that but she has a body to die for. I wouldn't kick her out of bed.

4. Sara Ramirez. (Last year: 2.)

Remember that not so catchy thing I said about Latino ladies? Same applies here. One half of Grey's Anatomy's cutest (and happiest!) couple, Sara is extremely talented and extremely hot. Not only does she have an incredible singing voice, Sara can pull off the hottest scenes. Damn.

3. Eliza Dushku. (Last year: 1.)

Well, well, well, seems last year's winner has been knocked off her number one spot. Doesn't mean she's gotten any less hot, though. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse, Tru Calling... Eliza has been in a whole batch of great shows and she's looked hot in every single one.

2. Jessica Capshaw. (Last year: 12.)

As Callie & Arizona got more air time on Grey's Anatomy, Jessica just kept getting hotter and hotter. The daughter of actress Kate Capshaw and step-daughter of directing legend Steven Spielberg, Capshaw was brought up in a sparkly atmosphere and that must have rubbed off on her sex appeal. Those legs. HOT DAMN.

So, who's number one? I bet you're thinking 'but you've named all the hot girls!' You're wrong. Oh, so very wrong.

1) Lady GaGa. (New entry.)

Bet you didn't see that coming! Well, unless you know me personally. An unconventional beauty, Lady GaGa has captured the heart (and vagina) of so many lesbian and bisexual women. Remember what I said about quirky girls being the 'in' thing? After seeing the Queen herself live last week, I can safely say that she has the best ass, best legs and best everything of anyone I've ever seen. And the fact that she was caught kissing a girl a couple of weeks ago doesn't hurt either.

Updates from my wisdomful Father.

I'll start off with a post from my tumblr:

Yes, these are the exact words that my Father said to me.

Other facts for you:

• Every person who is gay will be beaten up or physically abused during their lifetime. (I will, and my gay male cousin will be beaten up even more, because he is male.)
• Straight people who say being gay is okay actually go behind your back as soon as you're not there and call you 'all of the names under the sun'.

He also said to me "I know exactly how your life will pan out."

Therefore, aside from knowing all about gay people and knowing everything that every straight person thinks about gay people, he now claims to be psychic.

Feel free to throw abuse at my Dad, I really don't mind.

Also, please don't comment saying 'don't listen to him'. Don't worry, I'm not listening to a word: I am who I am.

Vote For Your Top 20 Ladies!

Remember last August when I gave you a list of my top 20 hottest celebrity women?

Well, if you don't remember, then go read it!

Anyway, I'm moving this year's top 20 to June to coincide with the list that AfterEllen.com do every year. This way, it's much easier to compare the differences between the two lists.

So, who do you think will top the AE list this year? (Vote in the poll on the right!) And, more importantly, who do you think will top my list this year?

Also, I'm curious, who did you all vote in the AE poll? Let's see which ladies are your favourite!

Home Sweet Homophobia

Remember when I came out and my Dad was "fine with it"?

Well, turns out he's changed his mind.

The most annoying thing is, he has ridiculous reasons for not liking my homosexual status.

Here is a list of some of the things he has recently said to me:

• "You're just ruining your life before it's even started in my opinion." - Yes, because having a gay lifestyle means your life is ruined. Just because it's not how you live, doesn't mean some people don't enjoy it.
• "If I find out someone's influenced you, I'll stab them. I don't care who it is." - Okay, a) You wouldn't stab anyone. In fact, you wouldn't touch someone gay: you're a fucking coward. And b) No one influenced me to be gay. Actually, that is the most absurd thing I've ever heard.
• "I don't think you're gay. I think you say you are because your friends are. You're doing it to be fashionable." - Yes Father, I also dye my hair ginger because my friend has ginger hair. (Sarcasm, by the way.) And fashionable? Yeah, constantly having homophobic comments hurled at me and people like me is extremely fashionable. Douche.
• "You can't tell anyone in our town. You won't even be able to walk down the street." - I don't know how you haven't noticed that around 30% of our town's population is gay or bisexual. And also, everyone in Tuxford already knows I'm a raging dyke and not once have I felt insecure whilst walking down the street.

There are other things he's said, but those are a few of the most recent ones. Ridiculous, right?

However, I have an awesome Mother who accepts me for who I am. I love her.

The motto of the story? Don't let anyone tell you who or what to be. Be yourself, always.

Melissa Etheridge splits up with her girlfriend

Okay, okay, I get that they were 'married' and I should have put 'wife' in the title, but you know how the American marriage system sucks for gay people? Yeah. That's why I didn't.

You may be thinking 'why do I care about these 2?'

Well, a) Melissa Etheridge is a folk singin', toe tappin' Queen and b) these pair were generally one of the most high profile lesbian couples around.

According to Tammy Lynn Michaels' (Etheridge's now ex-girlfriend) blog, the two have been on

the rock since January.

Huh! Who'd have thought it?

Anyway, it seems as though there's no official reason for their break-up as of yet, but the couple were together for 9 years and 'married' for a further 2. They also had twins, carried by Michaels, and Etheridge overcame cancer during their relationship.

Doesn't it suck when 2 people who seem like the happiest couple in the world actually aren't?

Gay? Over 18? Live in the UK?

It's election time!

I understand that many of you will be long-time supporters of the Conservative party.

Well, if you're gay and planning to vote this year, please go here: http://mygayvote.co.uk/

If LGBT issues are really important to you, you would vote Labour simply because of the statistics shown in these pie charts.

You'll notice that the Liberal Democrats also do quite well in the charts, but honestly, if you're from the UK, you know they're never going to win. Especially this time round.

UPDATE: I understand now, upon reflection, that saying the Liberal Democrats will not win was really quite anti-change of me. However, I simply meant to state that I feel that we need to start with the easier things (getting Labour into power) than the harder things (the extremely hard task of getting the Lib Dems to the top). One day, I'd love to see them take over, I swear! For now, I'm just concentrating on keeping the Conservatives OUT!

So please, please vote the Labour in this election. They're our best shot at equality.
