Friends, Romans, countrymen, I come not to bury Shakespeare but to praise him! Here under the leave of Brutus and the rest, come I to heap praise upon this poet, playwright par excellence! Ladies and Gentlemen of the world audiences, I call upon you to participate into this posthumous moment of sexiness for the Bard of Avon! The time has come to discover the sexiest works of William Shakespeare!
England’s national poet, this brilliant man in his one lifetime forever altered the world of drama, theatre and scripting! It is a known fact that his works have been translated into every major living language and are performed more than those of any other playwright! Until today, they are rediscovered, adopted and studied in diverse contexts all over the world! Having started his career writing comedies and histories, Shakespeare’s real sophistication and artistry came forth near the middle of his life when he wrote remarkable tragedies such as Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. Through his ‘four periods’, as they are popularly referred to, Shakespeare created plays that would appeal to almost every audience. Using varied ingredients in his scripting and storylines he was able to generate a different appeal to each of his works. Whether it was the wit and wordplay of ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, or the romance and comedy in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, or even the tragic tale of adolescent love and death in ‘Romeo and Juliet’, the Bard strung it all together with magical perfection! However, his tragedies have won far more critical acclaim than his other works! Each more brilliant than the other, they all carried one Shakespearean touch in common, a unique flaw in each hero that would ultimately prove to be his undoing! In Hamlet the hero is undone by his hesitation, while in Othello and King Lear they are done in by hasty decision! The time has come now to find the Shakespearean play that is sexier than all his others! To be or not to be; that is the question! Post your opinions and cast your votes to discover the sexiest Shakespearean work! Ladies and Gentlemen, “This was a Man!”

John Keats once said, “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever”. Though it is highly unlikely that he was referring to tattoos, these few words capture the true reason behind why people get themselves marked with indelible body ink! A well-chosen or perfectly-designed tattoo can bring you joy for the rest of your life! Getting it wrong can have catastrophic results and hence, in the interest of all future tatoo’ers’, here’s the hunt for the sexiest tattoo designs! There are three ways to decide upon the tattoo that would suit you best : 1) you choose from the thousands of designs already created, you’re likely to find something that suits you well 2) you design it yourself, this way you can derive the additional pleasure of knowing your tattoo is truly one of a kind! 3) You choose a design and then add your signature touches by altering it a bit. This is something like a best of both worlds approach and hence could prove to be harder to get right! Tattoos have from time immemorial been the ultimate personal statements. Either to show brashness, continuing customary traditions, to proclaim love boldly or of late, to rebel against social norms! Whichever way, these works of body ink worn by both men and women, albeit differently, add a unique touch to the individual sporting them! David Beckham and Angelina Jolie are two celebrities who have boldly declared their love for tattoos as a form of self-expression! Beckham sports nearly 12 tattoos on his body including the names of his children (on his back), the name of his wife (written in Hindi on his left arm) and special phrases in latin and hebrew! Jolie too has an ever-increasing number of works of art over her body! Wherever you sport them, on your back, your sleeve, your arms, neck, feet, stomach, cheeks, ankles or wrists, tattoos add a distinct touch to every individual. But in order for it to be sexy, you have to ensure you choose the sexiest tattoo designs! So post your opinions and cast your votes to discover the sexiest tattoo designs you’d sport on yourself! Who knows, after this maybe you could go get yourself branded with the sexiest too!

Last Saturday, I was sitting at home and reminiscing about my best friend who a few days before to study abroad. In the past three years, there hadn’t been a Saturday when we didn’t grab a beer together! It had become so much of a routine and a tradition that I was feeling quite lost! Not knowing what else to do, I got onto facebook and a couple of clicks later sent him a beer! Admittedly it wasn’t the same as grabbing a beer together, but the significance of the moment was captured and I was more at peace! The miracles that facebook can be! It’s safe to say, the impossible and more become within reach when you’re using the sexiest facebook applications! The world’s most popular social networking site, Facebook has grown into a multi-million user network in almost no time.

Most often, they allow you to work in tandem with a number of your friends and make it a fun group experience. With over 27,000 applications available, there no longer remains a doubt that the idea has caught the fancy of the world, some of them more than others! You could play poker with other Facebook users! Using virtual money Texas Hold’em Poker simulates the real life poker experience, featuring the same thrills albeit without risk of losing your hard-earned cash! Or settle for the more relevant and widely-used Moods function that lets you splatter emoticons on your profile to show whether you’re sad, grumpy or joyful! If you’re a more determined soul, the Cause application allows you to create causes and lobby for support (this has proven to be a highly effective manner to facilitate the confluence of like minds) or if you’re more keen on doing your part at an individual level, the Carpool application comes in handy as it lets you find users you could possible car pool with! As you can see the purposes and functions of the applications cover almost every possible spectrum. Basically though, they’re all meant to be fun and entertaining whether games, arty or even intellectual! The question is, which of these applications appeal to you the most?

You’ll have to excuse my occasional gasping! I’ve spent the last few hours pedaling furiously in order to write this post! So here’s the new me, 3 pounds lighter and many bicycles wiser, all set to share with you the inside info on the sexiest bicycles in the world! (deep breath) Bicycles may be the oldest form of human transportation still used but they’ve definitely left their past far behind. True they still run on two wheels and require balancing ability, but folks, let me tell you, the bikes of today are a whole new breed on their own. They’re radical, they’re fast, they’re strong and they’re sexy! Having pedaled and perspired to my heart’s content, here are some of the fanciest and sexiest bicycles I could dig up. (gasp) The Zero Bike - a hubless, spokeless bicycle powered by cranking magnetic pedals which rotate the tyres which are in turn suspended between other magnets. This Japanese designed bicycle entirely redefines the bicycle itself! Dekra’s D-Drive too caught my attention. This otherwise normal-looking bike hides a lethal secret! Instead of a chain, it has an internal drive shaft! This implies greater reliability, comfort and safety! I was also quite floored by Sinclair’s A-bike, which proclaims itself the world’s lightest folding bicycle! (gasp) At just 12 pounds, taking barely 10 seconds to fold or unfold, this cycle seems a superb companion for your next camping trip! As with everything else, there had to be some extravagance too. As if brand names like Mercedez Benz (Yes, they make bicycles too) weren’t enough, it was the glimmer of gold that caught my eye! The gold and diamond covered version of the Lance Armstrong 7-DiamondTrek Malone 5.9SL made me stuff a fist in my mouth to avoid screaming in excitement! But considering that there exists one such piece and it’s already been sold to an anonymous buyer at a whopping $75,000, (gasp)I guess nobody will be getting to ride that beauty for a long time to come! Bicycles have been an integral part of human transportation since time immemorial. Of late, their glory and respect has diminished, making them the means of mobility for the economically bereft! The time has come to reinstate them onto their previous pedestal of glory! Post your opinions and cast your votes and decide for the entire world to see, the sexiest bicycle on the planet! Phew!
Pedaling in for the ‘sexiest bicycle’: 1. 7-Diamond Bicycle 2. Zero Bike 3. A-Bike 4. Aurumania’s Gold Bike Crystal Edition 5. Bernard Hinault 6. Jetson Battersby’s Tequila Sunrise 7.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Incheon International Airport. The temperature outside this afternoon is a pleasant 24 degrees with partially overcast skies. On behalf of the captain and crew, I thank you for flying with us and look forward to serving you again in the near future. I also request you to feel free to start jumping up and down with excitement for you will soon be entering one of the world’s sexiest airports!” That altered arrival announcement was meant to initiate excitement within all of you in regard to what is to come! Skytrax recently rated Seoul’s Incheon Airport as the world’s best airport but best isn’t necessarily always sexiest, so we’re running a poll to discover the world’s sexiest airport! Most travelers think of an airport as a place to spend as little time as possible. In actuality however, whether due to increased security checks, odd flight timings, long transit intervals or even good old ‘always reach ahead of time’ reasons, everybody ends up spending more time in these terminals than intended. And if you happen to be doing so in some of these sexy airports, you ca be assured that you won’t even notice the time flying by! They all deliver world class-standards, and offer customers the highest standards of quality. From the technical aspects of layout, design and user convenience to the more essential factors of cleanliness, infrastructure, baggage handling, security processes, and of course, staff behaviour they settle for nothing but the best! By providing high-class lounge facilities, with bars, saunas and massage options, well-organized duty-free shopping experiences and gourmet restaurants, they aim to maximize passenger comfort and entertainment. Even if you end up jogging through one of these airports in a last-minute dash for a flight, you can’t help but notice their superiority and pleasing ambience! Maintaining fixed standards in a place that sees thousands of travelers passing through everyday is task enough on its own! Constantly improving and bettering previous standards is a feat to be admired and these airports have done, and continue to do, just that! Architectural marvels, they are not mere centers of transit but an experience unto themselves! Dear Passengers, we announce the opening of polling for the sexiest airports in the world! Kindly proceed to post your opinions and place your votes for the sexiest airport in the world! For the ‘sexiest airport’ 1. Incheon International Airport 2. Hong Kong International Airport 3.

Why would a mass of ice, owned by no nation and having no permanent residents need its own currency? I’m referring to Antarctica, the landmass surrounding the South Pole and as incredulous as it sounds yes, it has its own currency – the Antarctican Dollar! Issued by the Antarctican Overseas Exchange Office, the bills aren´t backed by any governmental authority but can be redeemed for face value through the issuing company! On that random note, it’s time to find the sexiest currencies in the world! From time immemorial humans have been embroiled in economic transaction. First it was through the barter system, a simple ‘I give to you what I produced or possessed in return for a proportionate sum of what you produced or possessed’ system that transgressed all boundaries of communication and culture. However, there was one major drawback! It lacked fairness! Hence, we came up with the idea of monetary transactions and money as a medium of economic transaction! Thereby simultaneously eliminating the twin evils of discretionary power and the arbitrary use of such power! Every nation was thus now granted the freedom to design and determine a currency that represented itself! As you know the U.S. Dollar and the British Pound are possibly the two strongest and most iconic currencies of the world! While the U.S.D. remains where it started as a wad of nearly identical drab green slips, with dismal portraiture of Presidents and other historical figures, the British Government has taken some brave steps forward! The outcome of an open competition, pence and pound coins, untouched in design for over forty years, have now undergone a radical revamp. Based on the winning Matthew Dent design, each coin now depicts a portion of the Royal Shield and when a complete set is combined forms the complete shield! Other Countries opt for more colour and intricate designs on their bank notes. The South African Rand is decorated with awesome images of the indigenous wildlife, including lions, white rhinoceroses and zebras, while the Bhutanese Ngultram note features beautiful, intricate background patterns overlaid by drawings of Bhutanese architecture and coiled dragons! Even political minnows like Kazhakistan make their presence felt in this arena. Kazakhstan´s banknotes are some of the most insane of all of Europe, with a crazy mélange of graphical approaches combining to create an awesome, stylish note! When it comes to currency design, it is evident that the way to go is more intricate, more colourful, more graphic and more happening! It’s time to bring out the patriot and the objective critic in you! You have to decide whether national loyalty will win your vote or if graphic splendour will floor you! Post your opinions and cast your votes to discover the sexiest currency in the world! Counted in for the ‘sexiest currency’: 1. British Pound 2. U.S. Dollar 3. South African Rand 4. Swiss Franc 5. Euro 6. Hong Kong Dollar 7. Kazhak Tenge 8. Aruban Florin 9. South Korean Won 10. Japanese Yen 11. Bhutanese Ngultram 12. Canadian Dollar 13. Antarctican Dollar 14. Malaysian Ringit 15. Dirham

Pillows - fluffy (sometimes hard), usually rectangular-shaped accessories used on beds as support for parts of your body when resting – there’s nothing more to them! Even I was under this mistaken impression of limited utility until I thought about it in a different light! Far from their mass-produced, essential commodity status pillows are actually highly-personalized objects which in turn implies ‘pillow design’ is a breeding ground for creativity and innovation. Think about it, most of you are highly choosy about the pillows you use yet manage to always find the one that possesses all the distinct characteristics you desire! By characteristics I imply the qualities of altered type or quantity of stuffing, which affects the feel of the pillow, cut and design which makes it externally more appealing and special touches or features which make it technologically unique and fun! That there’s so much to say about them itself highlights the fact that pillows have been underrated and taken for granted for too long. Read on and you might realize that your bed could do with a revamp, some additional sexiness! Considering you sleep on your pillow, wouldn’t it be the best person to wake you up? I realize it is non-living and incapable of calling your name out or shaking you vigorously but what if it could, at a chosen hour, exude illumination bright enough to knock you out of your deepest stupor? Sounds cool doesn’t it? That’s exactly what the Alarm Clock pillow does! Over a forty minute period, the pillow emits a light that gradually increases in brightness and hence wakes you up. The final touch is that it even displays the time on its surface, thereby totally doing away with the need for ‘eyes-closed-hand-wildly-flailing’ searches for your bedside clock! Or if you’re the soppy kind that ends up shedding tears at frequent intervals, the whole bedside-tissue paper rigmarole can be quite exasperating. The Kleenex-dispensing pillow will be the perfect solution to all you troubles, allowing you to sob to your hearts content with easy access to necessary sniffle-stifling infrastructure! Getting even more creative, how about a pillow that recreates for women the feeling of sleeping on a man’s reassuring, strong chest or in the case of men, a not-so-real, urethane foam, girlfriend’s lap! The perfect solution to help lonely hearts sleep better! Now who ever thought that there could be so much technology and innovation on something as ordinary as a pillow? But evidently there is and I can’t see anyone complaining about it. So cast your votes and post your opinions to culminate this poll for the sexiest pillow to go to bed with!

Welcome to a truckers’ world! A world where gigantic, powerful, incredibly masculine and unabashedly sexy machines rule the roost! Where everything revolves around the bond between man and machine! When ordinary folk like you and me, that view our automobile as a mode of conveyance from Point A to B, fuss and fondle over our cars, imagine the extent of love and affection a trucker would shed on his machine! Cause to him, the monster he drives is his family, his best-friend and his lover! He possibly spends more time interacting with his truck than with other human beings! In a truckers’ world, the truck IS the world! And hence it makes perfect sense that such people would spend every energy in adding the best of everything to their truck! And so rather than waste our time looking for the ordinary, we’re looking for the sexiest personalized trucks on roads today! This brings us to an interesting question. If trucks could be dressed up what do you think they’d look like? Okay, I asked that question just for the sake of it, I’m actually itching to answer it myself. For starters, take another look at the image above this post. Doesn’t look like anything you’ve ever seen before does it? But yes, it’s a fully functional, used-for-the-same-truck-purposes machine like any other truck, only that it bears the signature touches of love, affection and creativity of a proud owner! I’m serious, the “Dekotara” (abbreviation for Decoration Truck) can be commonly found plying on roads in countries like Japan and the Philippines! More decked up than a celeb on Oscar night these trucks can be called nothing less than monstrous art in motion! Usually expressions of the creativity of the truckers themselves, they are characterized by extravagant paints, plenty of shiny stainless steel and neon lights! Oh and in case you were wondering, the bling bling is not restricted to just the exteriors, it extends into the interiors of the cab as well! In Pakistan, a country with a per capita income barely past $2000, fleet owners are known to spend anywhere between $3000 - $5000 per truck in order to effect structural modifications and intricate paint jobs! The result of such extravagance though is the transformation of ugly, gas-guzzlers into moving canvases covered with poetry, folk tales and religious worldviews! And it’s not necessarily only about extra-fittings or paint jobs. Sometimes the sexy stuff happens inside the factories where these big guys are manufactured itself! Liebherr, a heavy equipment manufacturer in Germany, took upon themselves the challenge of building the largest earth-hauler in the world! After years of brainstorming the finest minds and countless hours of R&D, the 203 ton, $3.5 million T282B was born! Trucks have been, are and always will be the sexiest street-legal monsters, in the right sense of the term! The personalized ones though carry an exponentially greater charm of their own. So post your opinions and cast your votes to discover the sexiest gigantic, rolling expression of personal creativity – the sexiest personalized trucks!

John and Donna, now both 32 years old, went to high school together. John was the much-loved, stud, captain of the school football team while Donna was a reserved, academically inclined social outcast. But John has nurtured a dark secret for over a decade now. Ever since he first saw her, he’s had a huge crush on Donna! In order to maintain his ‘cool-dude’ image he’s never dared to admit it but it’s always nagged and troubled him that he didn’t do so! Both of them have since been married and divorced. John decided some time ago that in order for him to be truly happy again, the skeleton has to come out of the closet! So he called Donna and asked her to join him for a cup of coffee, in order to break the secret to her. But will he or won’t he? Find out….after the break! We’ve got it all on camera, folks here are the sexiest reality TV shows! Sometimes easily mistakable for pre-scripted shows, reality TV purported to be unscripted, dramatic, and humorous. Featuring ordinary people instead of trained actors, this form of sitcom entertainment has shot into the limelight in recent years. From game or quiz shoes to surveillance and voyeurism (Big Brother), self improvement and makeovers to dating-based shows, these shows that sensationalize real-life situations have hit the right chord with global audiences. Survivor and American Idol are two such shoes that have ruled the roost ever since they first came out. While survivor places a bunch or regular guys in exotic locations under abnormal circumstances in order to find which one ‘survives’ against all the odds, Idol is a talent-based elimination show with hundreds of competitors showcasing their skills before a panel of three judges who then determine who goes through to the next round and who doesn’t, eventually choosing a winner – who is labeled the American Idol! Both these formats have proven to be highly successful and have been syndicated and reproduced in vernacular languages all over the world! There are accusations of pre-scripting by off screen ‘story editors’, manipulation of speech and recreation of events, but most viewers don’t really care about all of this because their looking for a controversial and explosive experience anyway! (even if faked). Instead, in 2004, VH1 capitalized on the speculation and aired a sow called Reality TV Secrets Revealed, which detailed the various misleading tricks used by reality TV producers! With a recent poll revealing that one in every seven UK teenagers hopes to attain fame through reality television, and two television channels being devoted exclusively to programmes of this genre, the message is loud and clear – reality shows are sexy and they’re here to stay! And since they’ve already made you all habitual voters, this next part shouldn’t be too hard. Who will be the winner (multiple options flash across your screen!) Cast your votes and post your opinions to discover the sexiest reality TV show! The people shall have spoken!

Do you remember that legendary story about Midas – the man who got the boon of turning everything he touched into gold? That story ended on the note that this isn’t really a boon because after a point he couldn’t eat or drink without turning his food into gold too, but some men in this world are luckier than Midas himself. These guys turn everything they touch into gold without suffering from any of Midas’s problems. In fact, they drink, dance and make merry way more than any of us could dream of doing! Ladies and Gentlemen, rise and welcome into our midst, the sexiest billionaires of the world! Most of you would agree that success has a lot to do with being at the right place at the right time. But there’s a twist to this much-used motivational phrase that I’d like to share with you – there exist varied degrees of right places and right times! While for many being spotted in a time of success and then being granted a promotion amounts to a ‘right place-right time moment’, such a victory pales when compared to those enjoyed by these men. In their cases they zoomed out of almost nowhere to become the word’s biggest tycoons based on a few ‘calculated gambles’ that paid off. Imagine if your college Ph.D project makes you one of the world’s riches men in under 15 years. Doesn’t ‘right place-right time take on a whole different meaning now? These men are geniuses in their own rights, running businesses that stretch over the length and breadth of the globe and sometimes beyond it! Most having grown from the dust, they work unbelievably hard to stay on top of their game! Everyday poses challenges of unimaginable proportions and involves on the spot decision-making that could alter their lives and fortunes forever! True, they can afford to hire the best lieutenants and fire-fighters but that doesn’t take away their liability and risk! All we see is the flamboyant lifestyle, the beautiful houses, the sexy cars, yachts, airplanes and of course, the hot arm-candy, but behind the scenes none of this comes easy to them! That said, Roman Abromavich, the Russian oil tycoon, Chelsea owner and multiple other business-interest holder is one billionaire who lives it up. Everything about his life is the best money can buy. The most expensive home, most expensive cars, its even rumoured that the insatiable Russian isn’t happy owning the second-largest yacht in the world and hence is building one that will be the biggest! When you’re that rich, what difference does a couple of $100 million make! And he isn’t even the richest man on the planet!

When the world mourns his death, we’ve decided to celebrate his life! A man who dedicated his every energy towards creating the new and better for his fans, we think it is only right, in this moment of tragedy, to remember the splendor he added to the world! Even in his death Michael Jackson would have only wished to add more splendor and oomph to the world, because that’s what his life was about! There can’t be a better time to look back on his life and select the sexiest moments that stand out in the music he made! So as a tribute to the life of the King of Pop, we’re taking a walk down memory lane and looking for his sexiest songs! Jackson was the perfect embodiment of what we would call a jack-of-all-trades. Lyricist, composer, singer, choreographer, dancer, producer, he dabbled in it all, taking it upon himself to ensure that every part of his music met the highest standards. The result was that every aspect of his act was touched by the signature Jackson innovation and perfection. His lyrics were profound and meaningful, his tunes melodious and rhythms catchy. His singing always perfectly suited the mood of the song and his dancing, the beat! As he glided across the dance floor, you knew that this was a man born with rhythm in his body! Effortlessly coming up with new and novel moves he was the creator of the Moonwalk, the pelvic thrust as well as the Robot dance! As for his songs, they all carried a meaning far deeper than what met the eye! A man with a love for his world, he wrote and sang to encourage change! Whether it was ‘Black or White’, ‘All I Wanna Say Is That’ or even the ‘Earth Song’ each was not only appealing to the ears but jarring on the conscience too! Love, equality, despair, anger, he sang about it all and the world always listened! The world will always listen! Ladies and Gentlemen, the world has lost a great man! A man who in his short time on earth forever changed the lives of millions! The world without Michael Jackson will be a very different place, but it will never forget him! A legend in every sense that the term can be used he will forever live on through his music and through the love he created! As a parting gift to this remarkable man, we call upon all of you to cast your votes and decide upon his sexiest song! May he go to heaven knowing that he will be remembered like his music – catchy, exciting, lovable and sexy!

Nobody apart from the Brad Pitts and the Warren Buffets of the world can hope to get away with a James Bond like introduction of themselves! Since we all know and worship these guys before we even meet them, it’s not too hard to remember having bumped into them! For the rest of us, i.e. the more ordinary human folk, there exist an etiquette way of leaving a mark during social interaction. Some polite conversation, a charming smile and – a personal business card! These little slips/cards carry all the vital information about you, who you are, what you do and how you can be contacted. Slip one of them into the hands of the person you’re talking to and you drastically increase the chances of them recalling your interaction.

A simple way to make businesses grow, increase social impact and also plain stylish they’re the sexiest way to make your presence felt! But as with all things commonly used, business cards have become dangerously ordinary. Every guy from a salesman up carries a ‘card’ and hence one can no longer be sure what importance will be granted to your 2”x 4”paper incarnation. And hence there arises the need to make your business card different! It becomes necessary to make sure it stands out! Embrace the latest trends, make your card look like a facebook profile. With millions of people on facebook, you can be sure that this way most people will actually comprehend the data on your card!

Or if you can afford to go even crazier, stud your cards with a diamond or two, no one’s gonna go throwing away something that precious! Being different is being sexy! So rather than issuing a standard print order the next time you run out of business cards, take some time to get imaginative and try something new! Who knows your design could join our list!

I’ve always wondered why so many people live in run-of-the-mill, ‘my house looks like yours’ homes! Every single one of us is supposed to be different and independently quirky, doing things in different ways and yet when it comes to something as important as a roof over our heads, we settle for the ordinary! It can’t be money because affordable housing is possible in many ways other than concrete blocks a.k.a apartments! It can’t be satisfaction because one kind of thing can really possibly satisfy only one person (or maybe two), the rest aren’t as satisfied as they could otherwise be! It definitely isn’t desire – who’d desire to be ordinary? Here’s my conclusion! The reason most of us end up ‘domiciled’ in cookie cutter houses in bland suburban areas is because we’re either too lazy or too scared to go out and build the house we dream of! It’s a bit accusatory, I realize, but if you consider the facts, there is no other rational explanation. And to further strengthen my statement I’m presenting for your purview the works of some men and women who dared to be different. With the hope that this will inspire the construction of more ‘dream houses’ – this is the poll for the sexiest homes with a difference! One-of-a-kind, structures, in terms of design, shape and materials, these are the ‘real homes’ that reflect the thinking and character of their owners. Whether their gorgeous or ‘different looking or downright hideous doesn’t matter, because to the eyes of their owners they’re the most beautiful in the world. Every aspect, whether location or design is decided by the craziest quirks that most of us would’ve shut away and hidden! They truly are the expression of personality, and here lies their greatest sexiness! Daniel Czapiewski, a Polish businessman and philanthropist was disgruntled with the world and its Communist obsession. Unable to tolerate what he thought would be the end of the world, he wished that things would just turn on their heads and be better again. When this didn’t really happen, he decided to at least turn his world up-side down and so he built the Upside Down house. A full-fledged home, which is actually upside down, it was a challenge to build because it convoluted everything that anybody had learnt about home building, but it was completed and his world was made alright! The Wooden Skyscraper, is another such quirky structure built by a former gangster multi-millionaire, today ex-con, pauper Russian. An accidental creation, he just kept building floor on floor because he felt his home didn’t look right and now he possesses possibly the world’s most haphazardly built yet standing skyscraper! These guys didn’t care about fitting in, they decided to make hay while the sun shines and truly build their homes with heart. And considering no two hearts are the same, it’s no wonder that these homes are also radically different. Also, if you’re critical about my post this far and silently saying to yourself “every house is different because of its decor” I say to you “dressing yourself up differently doesn’t make you a different person neither will it do so for your house!” So frivolous arguments, if any, set aside, let’s salute these expressions of individuality through a path less trodden. Post your opinions and cast your votes to decide and discover the sexiest, quirkiest house in the world!

1. The Skinny House 2. Bart Prince House 3. Dar al hajar 4. Toilet-shaped House 5. Floating House 6. Saucer House 7. Saxophone house 8. Shoe House 9. Cube House 10. Crooked House 11. Kettle House 12. Bubble House 13. Wooden Skyscraper 14. The Upside Down House 15. The Boeing 727 House |

You can almost here your colleagues say “If they’re his bankers, this guy really is the big fish!” Ladies and Gentlemen, opening their doors to you are the world’s sexiest banks! Banks have through the years been the most important link in wealth creation. An essential member of every business, large or small-scale, these financial institutions enable and facilitate increased revenue-generation. Citibank, HSBC, Bank of America, these are all names that are synonymous with high-class banking. The most elite places to borrow from and lend to, they are the largest players in financial markets and a multi-trillion dollar themselves! True, the sub-prime mortgage crisis hit some of these guys really hard, but most of them have bounced back and re-established their past glory! The Swiss are known for their chocolate but also for their tradition of bank secrecy that dates back to the Middle Ages! Characterized by stability, privacy and absolute protection of clients’ assets and information, Switzerland has historically been the haven to put away money that could’ve caused raised eyebrows. Not every one can open a Swiss Bank account though, it’s an honour reserved for only those who talk and transact in the millions! Banking regulations have changed the screws tightened but banks like Credit Suisse and UBS remain some the most elite bankers in the world! It’s not a sin to dream, especially if it’s a dream for the better. I have full-confidence that most of you will one day belong to some one of these elite banking families. Hence, I recommend you do your homework in advance. Select the bank that you think is the sexiest, cast your vote in its favour and convince others to do so too!

Did you know that wheat flakes were created by accident? Yup, the flakey favourite cereal of the world wasn’t some sort of R&D miracle, it was a plain, good-old accidental discovery. Sometime in 1894, when Will Keith Kellogg was searching for a digestible bread substitute to improve the diet of hospital patients, he accidentally left a pot of boiled wheat to stand. The wheat became tempered and when left to dry, each grain emerged as a thin flake. And wheat flakes were born! As amazing as it all sounds, cereals have come a long way since then – and today we’re looking for the sexiest cereals in the world! 14. Special K

Trademark clothing of select groups they establish their presence and mark acceptance and belonging. Uniforms are more than just clothing, they are fabric with meaning! Sports aficionados, it’s time to judge your favourite teams based on more than just performance and results. Take a closer look at what they wear and what it does for them in order to discover the sexiest sports uniforms! In the world of multiple-person sport, uniforms define all that a team is! The best amongst them have an effect so powerful that it seems almost as if they can talk! Acting as messages to the opposition, depending on their history, design and colours uniforms can say different things. While the older ones that have stayed over the years intimidate opponents and conjure in their minds images of dominance from past decades, newer designs symbolize the washing away of bad tastes and the ushering in of a new era!It goes unsaid that team sports would be incomplete without uniforms! Not only do they define what a team is about but they also project its image! Also, according to some believers, a team’s uniform influences how it plays. They say that it is the uniforms that make the players look and feel like winners, which in turn is the direct cause for them actually winning! The historical supremacy of the New York Yankees stands testimony to such thinking. Recognized as a team famous for its star players as well as great uniforms, it is popularly believed that the two factors directly influence each other as well as the team’s performance. By instilling confidence in all who wore their uniforms, it almost seems like every man who wore one of these jerseys went on to became a baseball legend! Until today, the sharp, clean and classic Yankee pinstripe with its stylish logo continues to remain synonymous with ball-park greatness! In some cases uniforms also have superstitious significance. Sports history is filled with countless examples where the changing of a team’s uniform, through some mystical quality, causes a complete reversal of its fortunes, for better or worse. When the CSU Rams’ gave up their traditional green and yellow to be replaced by a forest green and metallic gold uniform, the till then miserably failing team went on to win six conference championships over the next nine years! Call it a coincidence or whatever you want but it truly is amazing how a change in look can alter a team’s fortunes!

Art has been the cause for much aesthetic pleasure through the ages. In canvas artists found a best friend and a space to express themselves. But there were some within their ranks who were not satisfied working within the restraints of the two-dimensional world. So they stretched the realms of their work into a more ‘realistic’, world! Adding a third dimension, the art form of sculpture was born and the till then insatiable were forever silenced! Arguably the most powerful and realistic form of artistic expression sculptures have found their place amongst objects of utmost desirability. We’ve decided to titillate and provoke a longing within all of you for these masterful creations by making you view and discover the sexiest sculptures ever created! Sculpting is a complex and taxing task. The conceptualization of a sculpture requires great imagination and ability to visualize the end product. To aid in such visualization, it is necessary to be aware of the nuances attached to the chosen media of working. Working on rock, marble, granite, steel, wood or ice requires very different skills and tools. Possibly the most important virtue of a sculptor is patience, for sculpting is usually a long drawn out affair involving consistent efforts over long durations. Any act of desperation along the way could cause irreversible damage to the piece and make wasted all the hard work put in till then! As is the case with all art work, sculptures express the thinking and ideals of their creators. Michelangelo’s David is a sculpture that expresses the then profound belief of the genius sculptor, painter, architect in the human form as the ultimate expression of human spirituality, sensibility and beauty. The idealized, muscular and confident sculpture shows the human being as the measure of all things. Rodin too expressed through his work an extraordinary range of human feelings and a sense of the unknown forces of nature concurrent to his thinking at the then time. Free-standing, relief, site-specific, kinetic or whatever type it may be of, sculptures have captured the imagination of the world and rightly become the most popular form of public art. It’s time to set off an insatiable craving within each of you for these three-dimensional works of wonder. Cast your votes, post your opinions and discover the world’s sexist sculpture! And after you’ve done so, if you’ve got the necessary ‘dough’ make sure you make it your own!

“Brick by brick, a wall is built. Perseverance is the key to all success. Brick by brick the Volvo XC90 was built, persevere they did!” That’s a catchy phrase I just came up with to pay tribute to some awesome guys over in California. I’m not entirely serious about the catchiness, that’s for you’ll to decide, but I am serious about the tribute to the men who successfully built the official car of Legoland – a lego Volvo XC90! These master builders actually used the same Lego bricks that you and I use to build odd-looking objects, to create this car! Unfathomable as it may sound, Lego blocks are obviously capable of a lot more than most of us ever imagined. It’s time to open our eyes to the sexiest Lego creations! It’s common human tendency to put things together in an attempt to create something new. The geniuses behind Lego recognized this innate human weakness and capitalized on it by designing bricks/blocks of all shapes and sizes that can be combined to create almost anything. When young you keep it simple, engaging in yourself in projects such as building a house, a model car or helicopter and the like. But some people just don’t grow out of their Lego obsession. As these guys grow older, their imagination grows wilder and their creativity grows stranger. The result – the coolest, sexiest, sometimes strangest and weirdest Lego structures! One of the most imaginative uses of Lego has to be the creation of an all-Lego Difference Engine. Capable of solving mathematical problems (2nd/3rd—order polynomials, this sexy device can calculate answers up to 3 or 4 digits. I repeat, it’s made using Lego bricks! Gerrit Bronsveld and Martijn Boogaarts chose to use their Lego kits to create a fully-functional pinball machine! Using more than 20,000 colourful blocks, the Lego Pinball Machine comes complete with an operational coin slot, rotation bumpers, auto kickback, mechanical display for points and even a ramp! Lego blocks can be used to build just about anything these days, and there obviously is enough experimentation going on out in the world.

Sharks – friends or foes? This is the question that has run through human minds for decades now, causing conflicting opinions on these kings of the underwater world. Some dangerous man-eaters, others harmless ‘vegetarians’ the variations within the genus are so diverse that it has been near impossible to categorically classify them under any one category. Their aggressive looks, sharp-teeth baring, sleek lines, lightning speed and hunting skills do little to help their image. But that was all until now! Applying my now well established ‘logical reasoning’ abilities I’ve finally found the answer to the question posed! Sharks are friends and sexy ones at that! No offence meant to any of you who’ve been at the receiving end of a pissed of or hungry shark’s antics, I’m simply trying to be objective here. Viewing the statistics and comparing the ratio of number of sharks to that of ‘shark-attacks’ it becomes blatantly obvious that most of these handsome fellas couldn’t be bothered about the human race, even when we savagely and heartlessly intrude upon their territory. Which is exactly like human behaviour! So in reality, they’re very similar to all of us - there are some rotten ones that tarnish the reputation of the entire species, some entirely peaceful ones and some others that will stand up and defend their territory. Based on the above arguments, my ‘logically reasoned’ verdict is such : Sharks can be dangerous, they have to be in order to protect their territory, but they’re definitely less dangerous than most of your human friends! No, they are not all man-eaters, most of them couldn’t be bothered in fact and YES, they definitely are sexy! Ladies and Gentlemen, socially ostracized thus far I believe the time has come to open up are underwater doors and welcome these majestic creatures into the folds of sexiness! What ‘Jaws’ did, I seek to undo. No doubt a brilliant film, but it tragically altered the context in which the term ‘shark’ is used. It’s time for the real world to come out of this reel induced misconception. Facts show that more folks are likely to die every year falling in their bathrooms than due to shark-attacks. Spend some time finding out more about them, find your favourite ones and who knows, maybe you could even go swim with them. But for now, it’s time to find the most sexy dorsal finned beauty! The change starts from here, post your opinions and cast your votes to discover the sexiest species of shark to have ever swum the ocean!

I often wondered where the phrase ‘live life king-size’ had its origin. That was until I saw my first, real castle! Just the sight of one of these sprawling, luxurious and flamboyant ‘homes of the kings’ was sufficient to wipe all traces of doubt out of my head. It’s true! There really is no other word in the English language to describe the spectacular beauty, size and sheer gigantism of these stone fortresses. I fully understood the need for the addition of a new word to our vocabularies – king size! There can be no better indicator of supremacy. The ultimate icons of all that is king-size – it’s time to find the sexiest castles! Every castle in the world is unique in its design and architecture. Drawing influence from art and philosophy concurrent to the time of their building, they were always built incorporating technical conveniences ahead of their time. The Neuschwanstein, the most famous of the three palaces built for Louis II of Bavaria, was one such technically superior structure. This medieval castle built in the Bavarian Alps was constructed according to a well-thought out plan employing then unheard of features such as running water on floors, automatic flushing toilets and an air-heating system. Predjamski Grad in Slovenia, though small, is a miraculous structure for it is probably the only castle in the world which is integrated with a cave! When aristocracy was the order of the day, the supreme ruler of every land was domiciled in these palatial, gigantic structures. The measure of royalty was based on power, authority and flamboyance. Almost always, the size of the castle was directly proportionate to the supremacy of the inhabiting emperor! Though instantly associated with royalty previously, today it is no longer so. Palaces and castles are bought by the rich and the wealthy and made into private homes. Some others are converted into luxury hotels. They may have lost their connection to royal-blood, but castles continue until today, to be associated with all that is classy, sophisticated, rich, large, superior and successful! As the latin maxim states “ Domus sua cique et tutitium refugium” – every man’s home is his castle. Your castles may not have been big enough yet to make it onto our list but you can live with the hope that one day it might. For now though, cast your votes, post your opinions and discover the sexiest castle in the world!

Quietly and unknown to the world a rare breed of genius has been counting down the days towards its nearly inevitable demise. The Comic Strip, arguably one of the most creative and sexy illustrated creations of mankind, has been on a downward spiral. In a realm where great new creations were churned out incessantly, there has now been a 20+ year drought. Thank god, we at sexiest.com do more than just glance at our morning papers. The marginalization of these illustrious entertainers to mere one-inch square panels strikes us as a grave wrong and an embarrassment. We think the time has come for the resurrection of creative talent and to return the charm to this unique form of storytelling. And we’ve come up with the best way to do so – draw your attentions (and that of artists who no longer grant due-respect to this art form) to the sexiest Comic Strips to have ever been created! The best comic strips are magical – they apply to everyday life and yet are never cheesy. By adding a dash of humour to real-life situations, they let you look back and laugh on the hardships you may have experienced. Based on their simplicity, these strips can be differentiated into three primary categories 1) those simple and clear enough to be understood by every reader, 2) those that are so cryptic that they can’t be understood by any and 3) those that are intentionally left vague in order to allow individual interpretation. In their own twisted ways each strip incorporates a few stories to fall under each category separately. For example, it is commonly agreed that some cartoons in the Far side series, created by Gary Larson, are probably comprehensible only to Gary himself. Speculating further, maybe he didn’t get them either. Critics however argue in his defense stating that he created them in order to see what people would read into them. An interesting interpretation which we don’t mind seconding! Moving on, whence talking about comic strips, we can’t help but refer to the infamous Calvin and Hobbes series. Based on two primary characters, Calvin, an unbelievably intelligent and rowdy six-year-old and his stuffed toy, imaginarily- living tiger friend Hobbes, this series is undoubtedly one of the greatest ever created. Perfectly balancing the dynamics between the two characters, they are incredibly hilarious and unsentimentally sweet. It is in this ability to make you laugh, that their true joy lies. Put in the context of the real world, the verbal exchanges between the Id-based Calvin and the Ego-based Hobbes, serve as abject lessons to parents as to how children are actually possessors of complex thoughts and should be treated with respect. The more you think about these creative storylines, the more you realize the sheer genius behind it all. They are by no means simple to create, involving innumerous ideas and concepts for storylines as well as impeccable illustration. Further, it must always be ensured that the strips are themselves most often simple and easily comprehensible – truly, the cartoon strip creators are artists in a league of their own! So what if the newspaper conglomerates no longer show them adequate respect. We call upon you, the people, to take it upon yourselves to re-establish the magic of the Comic Strip. Post your opinions, cast your votes and together discover the sexiest comic strip ever!

“Save for a rainy day” – these words of wisdom highlight the goodness of saving as you earn, in order to ensure that your life is not adversely affected if the said earning stops. Okay, maybe these words are a bit too philosophical for our chosen topic of sexiness, but they’re relevant none the less. Possibly the simplest and most practical method to save, the good old piggybank has now been fused with sexiness. Before we’re forced to repeatedly justify that last statement, we’re putting it down in words for all your skeptical glances. Here’s the search for the sexiest piggybanks!
Where we stand today, banks and fancy savings schemes simply aren’t sexy enough. They involve too much paperwork and running around not to mention the resultant stress and anxiety. Piggybank saving on the other hand is simple and hassle-free. Choose a piggybank (no longer necessarily shaped like a pig), find it a place and start saving. Can it get simpler than that? And before you even think it, NO, it isn’t childish! It’s sexy and here’s how! Piggybank design itself has come along way since the, then imaginative now ordinary, porcine ceramic pig with a hole at the top. Today it’s actually a popular subject for experimentation amongst creative minds. In fact a lot of these radical designs are so practical that their mere sensibility makes them attractive. And yes, like us, you’ll be left wondering why it didn’t strike anybody to do something like this earlier. Take for example, the Banclock. A brilliant yet simple idea to merge two of the least connected bedroom companions – your piggybank and your alarm clock. So now, if you ever want to dodge your wake up call and put that alarm on snooze, you’re gonna have to cough up the money! Try dodging that one! Common sense says you’re going to be saving more than ever before and the best part is that you’ll be doing it while asleep! If you prefer less cruelty to your self as you save, try the arcade piggybank. A fusion of addictive arcade games and a piggybank, for just one copper penny you can now play a game of Breakout or Tetris, and simultaneously save while doing so! As if all of this isn’t enough! For the real miserable saver, there’s a threat of explosion. The Bomb piggybank will actually blow up all over your desktop if you don’t add your coins everyday! If you’re one of those many people who’ve always wanted to save money but never gotten down to doing so, you now have the means to try again with a greater likelihood of success. If you’re already good at it, now you can make it lots more fun. Make your pick for what you think is cool, post your opinions and cast your votes to decide the sexiest piggybank design conceptualized thus far!

There exists a moment when dreams become reality, when you feel more special than you ever thought you could be. You suddenly feel better about yourself, almost as if you’ve actually become somebody famous and important. Similar to winning the lottery, it suddenly seems like lady luck is finally on your side. And to think the cause for all this happiness and joy are four simple words. The ultimate words of pleasure for a traveler, the sweetest phrase one could ever hope to hear from a host. Sir/Ma’am – you’ve got an upgrade! Upgrade, as the word itself suggests, this implies that you are moving upwards from your present situation. In the world of hospitality, an upgrade is granting a guest a higher luxury than that booked or ordered, and doing so for no extra charge! Can it get sexier than that? You pay to fly economy class but instead get an upgrade to business class! You book the deluxe room but instead are given the keys to the Presidential Suite! See, I told you this stuff could start to sound surreal. But it does happen, and that too all the time! And we’re running a poll to find the sexiest ways to make such good things happen to you more often- the sexiest ways to get an upgrade! Yup, you can actually make this stuff happen. Okay, you do need some luck, but there are certain factors that definitely go a long way in ensuring that you’re the most likely to get free bonuses as they are doled out. Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that upgrades given in good faith, the type that are given out to undyingly loyal customers, are quite pointless. This for two reasons, one - it takes a long time to get it and two - by the time you get it, you’ve spent hundred times the amount of money anyway! The upgrades that can be capitalized on are the ones granted in desperation or as compensation. The former happens when a hotel is overbooked, say for a local conference, when most of the cheaper rooms tend to be fully- occupied. But they still desperately want your business to stay with them and hence may grant you an upgrade. Many seasoned travelers attribute their most impressive upgrades to a combination of luck and overbooking. So if you make sure you plan it carefully and land up at the front-desk ‘co-incidentally’ at such a time of peak business, your chances of getting an upgrade rise exponentially. Compensatory upgrades happen when the hotel staff or management mess up their duty and are placed in an embarrassing position. Upgrades are the simplest way for them to win forgiveness. Through sufficient simulation and planning, a scenario can be created where your hosts are similarly forced into granting you the step up in life you secretly seek. Simple things such as staying only one night (which means they need to sacrifice the suite for only one night), coming in late (the staff are freed up and know which people can be moved around) can again radically improve your chances of being upgraded. Speaking of the staff, the front-desk is all powerful when it comes to this specific matter. Being polite and pleasant with the, until now insignificant front desk staff, makes it more possible for you to be the recipient of their gifts of goodwill! It’s time for you to move up in life, for free of course! Start scheming and planning your next move towards the higher living. While you’re at it, cast your votes, post your opinions, discuss and discover the sexiest way to get yourself the upgrade you’ve long wanted!

Where greatness is commonplace, it becomes difficult to find the best. This is the exact problem faced when searching for the greatest jazz musicians. In this preferred genre of light and easy listening music, finding the greatest amidst hundreds of equally special and talented musicians has proven to be almost impossible. So instead of struggling further, we’ve come up with a brilliant solution. Let’s instead search for the sexiest amongst them! Rating them on parameters such as their artistic skills, inspirations and the greatness and influence of their music, it’s time to search for the sexiest jazz artist ever!
Said to have been born in southern USA jazz music was a term first used in reference to music that emerged from Chicago in the early 20th century. A combination of African and European music traditions, blues and swing notes combine perfectly to create this genre of music where improvisation is the order of the day. Heard almost anywhere today (hotel lounges, salons, concert halls, wedding receptions), this is a type of music that has been predominantly associated with the American black community. Naturally most of the greatest jazz artists are from within the realms of this community.
Trumpeter, band leader and singer, Louis Armstrong bears the honour of being one of the greatest jazz musicians ever. Known to many as the ‘Ambassador of Jazz’, the ‘What a wonderful world singer’ has captivated and soothed the hearts of millions of fans world wide. A signature gruff and husky voice and spectacular melodies, this genius of a man has been the cause for some of the greatest jazz innovations. Eleanora Fagan Gough, or Billie Holiday as she is better known was a female jazz artist par excellence. A seminal influence on Jazz and pop singing, her reputation for manipulating phrase and tempo won her praise from wide and far. A deeply personal and intimate singer, some of her songs such as God Bless the Child and Don’t Explain have gone on to become jazz standards. Honored by the United States Postal Service with a postal stamp and the Holiday was also the object of tribute in Irish Rock Band U2’s hit song “Angel of Harlem”.
Jazz music has come a long and far, evolving new sub genres along the way. From New Orleans Dixieland to Afro-Cuban Jazz, swing and bebop to the more recent acid jazz each is a unique take on the parent genre. For example, swing music is considered to be popular dance music and is played from printed musical arrangements whereas the bebop which focuses more on small groups and simple arrangements. Artists too have made use of the creative freedom to mix and merge sub-genres to create their own unique style that is neither here nor there yet immensely enjoyable!

Amongst the things that can make a city sexy, the factor least spoken about is its skyline. This enticing view of great buildings and monuments is unique to each city and is undoubtedly one of the sexiest sights one can lay eyes on. More than merely memorable, they each have some exceptional characteristics that make them stand out and be instantly recognizable! Folks, look out your windows, the cities of the world are turning their lights on in a battle for the coveted honour of possessing the sexiest skyline! A skyline is usually associated with cities that have fallen prey to the high-rise craze. Developed over many years, it is something that comes up and comes together even though it’s unplanned. Buildings of all shapes and sizes combine to create a tantalizing effect when viewed together from a distance. Sometimes even a single iconic building can make a skyline stand out, as can the geography of the area. However, skyscrapers are not an essential pre-requisite for a sexy skyline. For example, Sydney’s skyline is defined by its much celebrated Opera House. Paris, with it’s concentration of low-rise buildings dating back to the mid-19th century and before, possesses a gorgeous skyline distinct in its uniformity. Chicago is considered by many to be a skyline with the perfect mix of old and new. Modern scrapers like the John Hancock Center and the Sears Tower—the world’s tallest high-rise building for more than 23 years ending in 1997— and yesteryear heroes such as the 1895 Reliance Tower and 463-foot-tall Chicago Tribune Tower, combine to constitute a skyline of monumental proportions! Despite the tragic absence of the WTC Twin Towers, no mention of sexy skylines can be made without mentioning that of New York City. The narrowness of the Manhattan Island combined with the overwhelming number of skyscrapers on it, maximizes the impact of this spectacle. With icons of the Art Deco building such as the Empire State and the Chrysler Building in it’s midst this city skyline is undoubtedly one of the sexiest. One thing’s for sure. This is one aspect of a city that cannot be ignored. Adding a unique touch to a city, different by day and night, skylines are gorgeous and sexy. If you’re done gawking out your windows now, cast your votes and post your opinions. Before the lights go out, we must discover the sexiest urban skyline!

Video may have killed the radio stars, but there is one that survived – the talk show host! Anchors of popular primetime shows, these men and women have successfully transcended the change in media of communication and now rule the TV screens! More than just voices or faces, the key to their success lies within themselves, in their persona. The sexiest one-man acts ever and ultimate entertainers, it’s time to find the sexiest talk show host! Often mistaken to be a simple feat, being a talk show host is in reality no easy task. Whether it’s the entertainment quotient involving humour and shrewd remarks, or the revealing interviews they hold, both require plenty of skill in their execution. To a large extent, their scripts are not pre written. The things they say and do are impromptu acts tailor-made to suit the situation perfectly. Yes, some of the jokes are planned in advance, but the real, signature humour is usually an on-the-spot improvisation. This implies that not only must the person be smart and well-spoken but must also be sharp and capable of thinking on his feet. When it comes to the interviewing, the aim is to obtain more information and of greater quality than ever before. The questions are carefully thought out and the interview itself handled with utmost care to ensure the perfect setting for the interviewee to pour his/her heart out. No wonder then, that most celebrities get drawn out of their ‘safety zones’ when interviewed by the scions of this trade. Johnny Carson was one such host renowned for his shrewd ability to squeeze comic gems and revelations out of guests. Having stressed upon its seriousness, it is now safe to admit that it is no doubt a sexy and fun job. Earning the big bucks just for ‘talking’ (which is something most of us do incessantly anyway) and rubbing shoulders with the who’s who of the world while doing so is hardly anything to complain about. Larry King, possibly one of the greatest tv show hosts ever, is said to have interviewed over 40,000 celebrities thus far. Ranging from the likes of the Dalai Lama and Bill Gates to Tom Cruise and Yasser Arafat he’s seen, spoken to and bonded with them all! And they really do make tons of money. Oprah Winfrey, the empathetic and graceful lady host of the captivating “Oprah Winfrey Show” is amongst the tope earners in the world! Talk show hosts have been evaluated on various factors – talent, longevity, success, originality, creativity, impact etc. It’s time to find a winner based on new criteria – sexiness, sexiness and sexiness.

Luxury burger? What on Earth is that? It’s understandable that many of you are of the opinion that hamburgers can’t be more than the classic lettuce, mayo and meat-filled ‘fast food’. But that’s only because you haven’t seen enough. On a hunt for the sexiest hamburgers we’ve discovered that these All-American favourites can be more than just yummy. Differently delicious, unique in taste and prohibitively expensive, these burgers have moved into a higher strata of sexiness. An exclusive and distinct category so sexy that they have come to be called – Luxury Burgers! Drop into a high-end restaurant and you’re likely to find that the burgers they serve are trendier than any you could’ve tossed up on your backyard barbeque. And of course, they’re pricier too but that’s precisely why they fall under the category of ‘luxury burgers’. French Chef Daniel Bouloud started off this trend when he introduced a hamburger stuffed with short ribs, foie gras and truffles onto his menu at DB Bistro Moderne. From there onwards it has become common practice to show off a kitchen’s imagination. Dining emporiums across the world have strived to add a signature touch to the burgers they serve, in order to make them sexier than their competitors’ offerings. Kobe beef topped with gorgonzola, onion jam, bacon, a dash of mayonnaise, some cheese crimini mushrooms and of course, a freshly-baked bun of the finest quality. This is what the people over at Taste think a $21.75 dollar burger should be. If you think this is ‘different’, the Le Burger Brassiere offers a Kobe beef and Maine Lobster burger topped with caramelized onions, brie cheese and prosciutto. Priced at a whopping $777, one can take solace in that it is all washed down only with ‘complimentary’ Don Perignon Champagne! And it’s not restricted to only America, the luxury burger knows no borders. They’ve become the way to go for diners world over. Hong Kong’s Steak House restaurant offers what the call a ‘Devil Hug’ burger for HK$1098 ($141). This massive burger contains a giant, 35-ounce beef patty with foie gras and gruyere cheese. I admit, I never imagined that the words “luxury” and “burger” could have been spoken in the same breath. But neither did I imagine a day when burgers would be washed down with Champagne! And there’s no need to complain for as you would all agree, the whole concept is irrefutably sexy. So cast your votes and post your opinions and discover the sexiest hamburger in the world!

Every man must go to sea at least once in his life time. Monstrous yet gorgeous, the ocean is arguably one of the sexiest places that one could ever be. A vast expanse of breathtaking blue, merging with the sky, it provides the perfect setting for the most spectacular sun-rises and sun-sets. Being at sea is all that life on land isn’t. Not only is it relaxing, calming and peaceful but it’s also overwhelmingly beautiful. The proviso to its splendour however, is that it cannot be enjoyed entirely without prior planning.

They will do anything to ensure you have a true-ocean going experience without having to compromise on any ‘land-based’ perks! There are two primary aspects involved in putting together the perfect cruise. Firstly, the ships themselves must be of the highest standards. Boasting of designer suites, star restaurants, clubs, shops, water parks, casinos, tennis courts, gyms and saunas they are required to be as good as floating hotels. Some cruise liners like the Royal Caribbean International offer unique entertainment options such as zip-lining through the ship, surfing on the top deck, rock climbing, high-dive acts, ice-skating, golf simulators and live shows better than those at Las Vegas in order to make their guests feel more privileged than those on other lines! Secondly, every cruise has to have a well put-together itinerary, a detailed plan of ports of call and events and excursions for passengers while there. The people over at Oceania Cruises have won praise for their special ability to incorporate the most intensive look at some of the world’s greatest cities into the travel plan. As Maria Saenz, senior travel counselor at Montrose Travel, says “they know when and where to stay overnight.” A cruise is not just about where you go but also what you do!

Gossiping is not necessarily bad, in fact, it may even be sexy! This however, primarily depends on what you’re gossiping about. Office rivalries or your neighbour’s latest girlfriend simply do not make the cut as good-enough when it comes to topics for gossip. In order for your gossip to qualify as sexy, it’s got to be about sexy people. And can there be anyone sexier than celebrities? Fellow gossip-mongers, lovers of all that is catty, mocking and melodramatic, we’re looking for the sexiest source for the sexiest gossip. The hunt is on for the sexiest celebrity gossip magazine!

These magazines bring you the juiciest and hottest news about celebrities and their lives, week on week, without fail! Celebrity hook-ups and break-ups, weddings and child-birth, and of course, the latest scandals, these magazines bring it all to you on their glossy pages. Given the high-security and social isolation that celebs prefer, it is quite a task to research and publish an attention-grabbing story. While some stories are based on real and reliable sources, most often the ‘scoops’ published are speculative and based on third person reports and statements ( the friend of a bouncer who knows an Uncle who’s son was Cameron Diaz’s bodyguard kinda thing). Whichever way, a lot of work goes into the creation of these sexy, ‘highly-informative’ pieces of literature and they deserve due respect. People magazine has for long been the king of the Hollywood hills. Well written and thoroughly researched, it is adored for the fact that it almost always relies on real and reliable sources. And yet, it carries more than its fair share of scoops and some of the juiciest news of the biggest stars. For the “star-struck” millions, People is the bible! Some of these magazines rake out millions of dollars in deals with celebrities just so as to be the first to break out a story. It is said that the first pictures of Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twin children were sold for over $14 million dollars. It has today become common place to pay in the millions to garner exclusive coverage. With 43 million readers a week, and sinfully priced at over $2 each, it is no wonder that these folks can pay such hefty sums and yet hope to rake in the big bucks. All of these magazines have flashy headlines that grab your attention, but do they deserve more than a casual flip-through? You will decide.

For years now, despite knowing the answer to it, a particular question has continued to bother me. Can my sexiness quotient be determined by the sun? Before you pass it off as being absurd, allow me to further elucidate. It is commonly agreed that your sun sign determines your character. It is also commonly agreed that your character determines your sexiness. Putting the two together, does this not imply then that your sexiness level depends upon your sun sign, i.e. what the sun was doing when you were born! Applying this faultless logic, it appears that some of us are sexier than others for what can only be called supernatural reasons. Folks, look at the stars, we’re hunting for the sexiest zodiac sign! Originally referred to as your star sign, your Sun sign (or Zodiac sign) represents the sign of the Zodiac that the Sun was in at the time of your birth. Since the sun is believed to rule willpower and ego, it is considered the core of your potential and uniqueness. In a nutshell, according to this, it is the sun that determines who you are and what you’re about! While Arians (March 21 – April 20) are said to be assertive and impulsive, Taurians (April 21 – May 20) are granted resourcefulness and thoroughness. Leos ( July 23 - Aug 23) are famed for their arrogance, pride and ego contrary to the passionate, sensitive and occasionally obsessive Scorpions(October 24 – November 22). Such specific characteristics have been identified for every Sun Sign and to a large-extent, they have proven to be correct. Apart from defining character, Zodiac Signs are also used by astrologers to predict the future of all persons of a common sign. Such predictions, based upon Sun Sign Astrology, are commonplace in most local news dailies. Further, in many countries, sun signs are also used to determine the compatibility of the parties to a relationship or a marriage. By comparing the compatibility of the signs of the persons concerned, a verdict is arrived at as to what extent the relationship is likely to be successful! However seemingly absurd all of this may be, there’s no denying that it is to a large-extent accurate. If you’ve lived in wonder as to the purpose of a Sun Sign, here’s a good time to put yours to some good use. If you’ve been a vociferous believer in the logic, now’s the time for you to make sure your opinion is counted. Post your opinions and cast your votes to discover the sexiest Zodiac Sign!

Almost every child growing up has heard the inevitable parental rant about cartoons being a ‘waste of time’ or a ‘pointless exercise’. I’m fully aware that like me, most of you spent a good part of your childhood secretly watching cartoons anyway. But now, the time has come to openly prove these words of ‘parental wisdom’ wrong. “Yaba daba dooooooooo”! Let out a Fred Flintstone like cry of celebration for there’s no need to hide your love for your favourite cartoon characters anymore. The time has come to put all those hours spent in front of the idiot box to some good use – come discover the sexiest cartoon character thus far! And yeah, I know, you still watch them at times. Cartoons have been the preferred, most sexy form of entertainment for generations together! No matter how old you are, they continue to make you guffaw with pleasure. I myself, until today, am a self-confessed Tom & Jerry addict. The animated representation of the clichéd ‘cat and mouse game’ never ceases to tickle my funny bone. It can effortlessly set anyone off into peals of laughter. Apart from the humour, you cannot help but admire the creativity behind the simplicity of the plot, despite the complex schemes and events. Tom may always ends up taking a beating, but he never takes it the same way more than once! Walt Disney, the American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist was also arguably the world’s greatest animator. The creator of hugely popular characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto and Goofy, this man was an absolute cartoon genius. His twenty-six Academy Awards and further fifty-nine nominations stand testimony to his greatness. Mickey Mouse, probably the oldest cartoon character, tops the chart when it comes to viewing rates. Initially voiced over by Disney himself Mickey has gone on to become a cartoon ‘cult’ figure, if there could ever be one. His on-screen buddies, Donald the good-hearted, short-tempered-duck, bungling Goofy and boisterous Pluto have also gone on to garner enough popularity.

Academics, sport, drama-societies and of course the incessant drinking, dancing and partying makes this one of the greatest and most memorable times of your lives. Old enough to be responsible for yourself yet young enough to make stupid mistakes, this is the place where school boys wish they could be and working men long to return.

“A great golf course both frees and challenges a golfer’s mind” – this statement by champion golfer Tom Watson is readily accepted within golfing circles as sacred words of truth. There are thousands of golf courses out there but very few that satisfy every need of a pro golfer. Stunning in design and landscape, these courses are cunningly designed to test the abilities of the best of the best. They are extremely pleasing to the eye and definitely more than just beautiful.

Golf is one of the few ball games that do not use a standardized playing area; instead the game is played on courses, each of a unique design. This implies that every person is granted license to create a golf course in conformity to their wildest fantasies. Of course, there are certain common standards that must be maintained, but the level of creative freedom granted is possibly greater than that in any other sport. And course designers have made full use of the leeway granted to them! George Crump designed the Pine Valley Golf Club, considered by many to be the greatest course ever, based on the underlying idea of islands. The tee is an island as is the fairway. And so, of course, is the green. Each of these isolated plots is surrounded by sand, scrub, water, rough and sometimes dense woods. Some other courses are loved for their picturesque views. Playing at Cypress Point, you’re bound to stumble on the magnificent Pacific Ocean as it crashes against rocks and tears at the kelp below. Otters, falcons and the unavoidable coastal sultriness add to the experience of playing this one-of-a–kind course. The Augusta National is a course so exclusive that it has only 300 or so members. It is widely known for delaying granting membership to Microsoft founder Bill Gates simply for having committed the sin of publicly stating that he wanted it. Such is the high regard for this course that the legendary Gary Player once remarked, “If there’s a golf course in heaven I hope it’s like Augusta National.” Golf courses are truly an amazing combination of the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport. It’s time for you to tee off and play a round at your favourite course. Cast your votes and post your opinions to discover the sexiest golf course on the planet!

The specific object may vary with each game and can include taking as many tricks as possible, taking as many scoring cards (or as few penalty cards) within the tricks won as possible, taking as few tricks as possible, or taking an exact number of tricks. Bridge is one of the most popular games from this genre. Matching games on the other hand are played with the object of acquiring the required groups of matching cards before an opponent does so. In Rummy, the most well known matching card game, this is done by drawing and discarding cards in order to garner the required melds.
