Counting down to AfterEllen's Hot 100 List coming out Monday (so excited!), I've been wondering what my Hot 100 list would look like. I ended up only with 70, after deciding not to put the actresses who I only followed in a specific role on the list. So, I present 70 women who I've lusted over, admired, and respected. Actresses I've watched in any film or TV show, no matter how awful or boring, just to catch a glimpse of them. Countless magazines purchased just for their photos and interviews. It is no accident that many of these women have played lesbian/bi characters, acted in movies with GLBT themes, or just played characters seemed to hint at a gay subtext. Once you attract a lesbian's attention, you will have a lesbian following for life.
