Even if she didn’t make Maxim’s hotness cut in 2010, on reconsideration, I guess that’s yet another example of beauty–and hotness–existing in the minds and perceptions of beholders.
However, I draw the line at Vogue’s recent designation of Michelle Obama as among the world’s 10 ”best dressed” women. Looking all gussied up de-planing in Mexico City, she placed third behind Blake Lively and Marion Cotillard and just before Jessica Biel and Alexa Chung: http://tiny.cc/qbnp2
If males can be catty, I guess that’s catty, as well as rude and mean-spirited, commenting on a woman’s appearance, but in the case of the pretentious Michelle Obama, it’s merited.
