You Sexy Thing

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the sexiest of them all?

Scarlet Johansson has described her disconnected reaction to seeing herself, larger than life, on a billboard. "I was driving through Los Angeles, and I look up and see the biggest photo of me I have ever seen. It's very strange to see my cleavage the size of a brontosaurus."

Well, my definition of sexy has always been about big boobs, slender legs up to there and beckoning bee-stung lips, all desirable attributes boasted by Angelina the Adorable.

According to the Oxford dictionary definition, sexy is sexually attractive (she looked incredibly sexy in a black evening gown), sexually exciting (sexy clothes, sexy smile), a sexy look, a sexy, smoldering glance. It is what it is.

The items on this page are not sexy as such, but you can make them comely on you. Designer Valentino once said about the late socialite and fashion icon Nan Kempner: "I remember once coming out from one of my shows, and she cried out, 'I don't need another dress. I need another body.'" No, you don't need another body, but a mind that tells you are sexy. So, who then is the sexiest of them all? Angelina, Paris, Scarlet? No. You, biensur! + Samuel Mulia
