The 2010 Autostraddle Hot 100 Preview

By

We know you’re already whet with anticipation for the 2010 Autostraddle Hot 100, which will debut on May 16th, 2010. Why? ‘Cause the Autostraddle Hot 100 is a little different than other Hot 100s. The 2009 Autostraddle Hot 100 honored things/people/ideas which were literally hot; hellfire, hot tubs, grills, the Miami Heat, Hot Pockets, global warming, Hot Cross Buns, Sarah Shahi et al.

So this year we asked ourselves…. aside from actual heatstroke/swine flu, what truly does set our loins ablaze? Sure, we dig Eliza Dushku in a pencil skirt or Jennifer Beals in a tank top as much as the next lez, but nothing truly turns us on as much as another woman who dares, as we do, to openly desire other women (see also: Calendar Girls).

So we opened it up to you — we asked y’all to submit photos of yourself or a friend so we could highlight how hot we know you are. Because you’re nagging us so much, we’re giving you a sneak peek today of 11 girls from next week’s list!

  5. Uh oh, I didnt know people were actually taking this seriously and sending in nice photos of themselves, now im a bit embarassed, maybe I should send in one nice one to balance out the other one?! :-O

  7. Okay. Seriously. Ridiculous.

    I’m actually happy that my friend somehow failed at cameras and messed up my photoshoot because those are some hella hot ladies and I clearly am not. Although I did have a sword and used a wind-machine.

  14. I love how bashful about their own pics everyone is in these comments!

    Although the ladies in these pics seem almost professionally-hot, I am most looking forward to the super-creative-hot ones. There will be swords and wind machines? I am quivering with anticipatory lust already.

  21. the next person who says they aren’t as hot as the people in this preview is getting punched straight in the vadge. i’ve seen the other entries — y’all are smokin’. deal with it.

    also, i feel like i ordered my pizza well over 45 mins ago. hope that means it comes with a free lap dance. WHAT.

  37. It’s like when I was a kid in a toy store. I was “OOOH I WANT THIS!!!” and then I saw something else, like the ninja turtles or whatever and went “OOOOOOH NOOO… THIS IS WHAT I WANT!”ad infinitum.

    (I think after hours of indecision I’d leave the toy store with the Julia box set ifyouknowwhatimean… maybeishouldntsaythatsincesheisarealpersonwhoreadsautostraddle… sorry.)
