I just ran across a listing of the 26 sexiest girls of the 1990s, and I feel that it is a topic I am qualified to write about—as opposed to most of the other topics I write about. As far as I can remember, I took part in the 1990s, at least in a small way. In those days, we were all very interested in supermodels like Christy Turlington (above), and we'd get worked up wondering who would be on the next cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue. I watched "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Sarah Michelle Gellar on several occasions, and "Baywatch" regularly. (Not to mention Pamela Anderson's followup TV masterpiece,"V.I.P.") These days I don't know anything about who is the sexiest, because I don't watch "The Hills."
But back to this list I found: Speaking as a photographic historian, I take issue with some of the inclusions, exclusions, and rankings. In terms of cultural impact, I cannot agree that Carmen Electra out-sexied Pamela Anderson. And I think Madonna must be included on the list, if for no other reason than her 1992 book "Sex," done with photographer Steven Meisel. The list also a picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt (below). Wasn't she just a kid in the 1990s? And what the heck is she wearing? Now, that was the 1990s!---David Schonauer

Good. I think we could all use a few useless threads these days.
And of course...
I love ze tennis.
Side by side
LOL!!
Don’t you be pooping on the party now!
I was being series. All this news is making me freak out. We need to be silly, so we won't go crazy. er.
late comer.
you must’ve missed her as the tv dancer in four rooms.
you’re not here yet?
26. Louise Wener
Who?
25. Hope Sandoval
The chick that sang “Fade Into You” - great song, and she was pretty hot.
24. Lisa Loeb
I’d hit it.
23. Louise Nurding
Who?
22. Teri Hatcher
Not bad...
21. Sherilyn Fenn
Yes...
20. Laetitia Casta
Overrated.
19. Kate Moss
I guess if you like girls that look like a
18. Michelle Pfeiffer
Oh yeah...
17. Claudia Schiffer
Schwing!
16. Kathy Ireland
She is pretty, but too “polished” or something - there was something about her that was off. She didn’t have that “realness” about her.
15. Jenny McCarthy
One of my faves.
14. Elle McPherson
Hot, but a druggie...
13. Tiffany Amber Thiessen
Oh yeah...if there’s one way to get a 30 year old man to watch old 90210 and Saved by the Bell reruns, she’s it.
12. Shania Twain
Quite attractive, but I never thought she was “all that” like some did.
11. Shannon Elizabeth
Made American Pie into a classic.
10. Winona Ryder
Meh.
9. Cindy Crawford
Overrated as many supermodels were.
8. Marisa Tomei
My cousin Vinny - something hot about her sporting that NYC accent...
7. Christy Turlington
Now THAT’S a supermodel.
6. Gillian Anderson
Kinda batty IMHO, but she IS a redhead - 10 points for that.
5. Shannon Doherty
She’s a Pubbie - so that makes her hotter.
4. Jennifer Love Hewitt
Few girls with her build can pull off big boobs and make it look natural (and I think they ARE natural...)
3. Pamela Anderson
Naa. Pam exemplifies the overprocessed, faked-up, batty celebrity sect.
2. Sarah Michelle Gellar
Cute, but not #2 cute.
1. Carmen Electra
Not worthy of #1, and something about her never quite sat right with me.
Where is Charlize Theron on this list? She definitely needs to be here, as does Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, Alyssa Milano (OK, she was really more 80s than 90s...)
You’ve done better than me. I’ve never heard of half of these chics.
Maybe we need a scantily clad chic’s tea party. Combine skin and politics. You game?
Dreamy, and I'm not talking about her music!
You evil, evil man!
I guess if you like girls that look like a flagpole.
Left off a word there.
