Miz Moffatt's 24th: Attained

Here it is, kids -- I turned the Big 2-4 at 1:43 AM this morning. And, as I type this, I continue to be twenty-four-years-old.

Quite the mind job.

I tend to begrudge all birthdays. I like to lie low on the radar for the most part and avoid contact with the same people who want to celebrate my birth....? Yeah, I am a strange one like that.

It's not so much the getting older I mind. It's inevitable, so it's best not to fight it. The part I dislike is the whole rotating thought process I come across:


What have I accomplished in the past year? What is it I want? What has stopped me from attaining these goals? How will I know when I've found success?


In essence, I spend a few days agonizing over one thing: relevance. Am I relevant? Have a earned this new year of life, or did I waste the previous ones?

Not the healthiest birthday activity, I realize. Most folks in their twenties celebrate with friends, food, and endless strings of shots and pints.

I debate the existential.

And, I also take myself out to a mindless action flick for kicks.

I started that last tradition in May 2009 as an off-the-cuff, knee-jerkish reaction. I was alone on May 16th. Friends were overseas, out of town, or hectic with their schedules. The Moffatt clan were focused on lil' Brother's band and a gig of theirs at a local club and I was frustrated with them speeding through all birthday celebrations just to watch a band we've seen and heard about one trillion times (in public and from our basement).

Rambles, yes. So, I took myself out to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I was gifted with an action film and a potent bit of eye candy in the form of Lynn Collins as Kayla Silverfox. What started as a hurt, isolated gesture turned out to be a fun experience and an oddly liberating one, too.

This time around, I knew I was headed out for adventure. The Losers is still in theatres and I knew I had to celebrate the start of a new year with the ever-gorgeous, brutal beauty that is Zoe Saldana.


She kicked much ass, indeed. Granted, the film offered standard action film devices and villains and one-liners and explosions. But, see, that's the great part of the annual birthday action flick -- it's a time to shut the mind off and look at the pretty flames (and the pretty girls when they're on screen, guns blazin'.)

I am rather amazed with the stamina of the characters in The Losers. I mean, characters were shot in the arm or cut across major muscle groups, and yet, the fighting continued. Chris Evans' character gets shot at close range in the shoulder and he's scaling shipping crates and barbed wire fences in the next scene. Right on.

The Sister took me out to breakfast this morning at a local joint. I picked it out because the interior reminds me of Der Waffle Haus from Dead Like Me. It's not a dead ringer for the set, there's just something about the vibe of the place that matches. I half expect to hear the gang swearing and squabbling with each other as I take in a delicious Eggs Benedict each time I visit the place...

(L-R): Mandy Patinkin as Rube and Ellen Muth as Georgia "George" Lass in Dead Like Me

So, a rather sweet start to the 24th year, I do believe. And, I just heard the front door slam which means I have falafel waiting for me.

I best get myself in on that action.

YouTube Gem: communitychannel

YouTube is stunning for the random delights it caters to. More impressive than that is its ability to bring entertaining, relevant content to you.

I realize this is stating the obvious to a sea of Internet readers, but I mention it now for the sheer fact that YouTube brought me to this woman --> Code Name: communitychannel (aka. Natalie)

She's pulled in a massive number of followers in her home nation, Australia, and from the ranks of the international crowd with her quick wit and quirks. She overflows with charm, she's observant with film trends and social/personal commentaries, and she is unabashed in her nerdom. (RE: She sports a pair of Battlestar Galactica dog tags on a daily basis. Now that is true dedication to a fantastic sci fi series.)

Without further ado, I invite readers to share in the captivating quality of this vlogette as she travels to the U.S. for the infamous San Diego Comic Con (July 24, 2009):





And, because I love discussions about music, here's Natalie's take on the secret meaning of mix CDs (Nov. 3, 2009):




Delightful. And she's got even more videos dedicated to the Wonderful World of the Comic Con (and yes, the titles required capital letters). I look forward to checking out the rest of her arsenal and watching her posts to come.

YouTube FTW.

Such a Tease...

I've got lists on the brain these days, ladies.

With Maxim's Hot 100 debacle, I am yearning for AfterEllen's Hot 100 with greater vigour than ever. On Monday, May 7th, all those weeks of pacing the floors and sweating through the night from excitement will transform into endless pages of stunning women as voted by queer girls across the Internet.

SO. ARDENT. IN. THIS. EXCITEMENT.


See? I even have to shatter sentences and piss on grammar just to convey how inundated I am with awesome vibes.

AfterEllen.com made sure to stoke those wild fantasies of ours this week through a slow, delightful tease. Indeed, our fearless writers have revealed the identities of SIX women honoured with a spot on the 2010 Hot 100. It's all hush-hush as to what rank these ladies have attained but, heck, I am pleased with the results already.

I think it's time to review our roster thus far:


Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle Rodriguez is the perfect blend of brass and beauty, offering a distinct feminine charm overlaid with a kick-some-ass attitude. Rodriguez caught the eyes of queer women and critics everywhere with her major film debut in 2000 with Girlfight. Since then, Rodriguez has gravitated toward a tough girl image with roles in The Fast and The Furious (2001), Resident Evil (2002), S.W.A.T. (2003), and more recently in the mega-blockbuster, Avatar (2009). In her hectic schedule, she's even found time to star on television juggernaut, Lost, as Ana Lucia Cortez. In recent time, she is now catering to the sci fi nerds out there with her latest project, Battle: Los Angeles in which she portrays a Marine locked in real-time battle to defeat an alien invasion. Sign me up, kids.


Lea Michele

She helped bring Journey back into the spotlight without a hint of irony to the music. Impressive. Lea Michele is lighting up the small screen on a regular basis with her upbeat, too cute self on Fox's Glee. While she's become a household name for such a short stretch, Michele's career has spanned the greater part of her young life. At the age of eight, Michele was already starring in Broadway productions ranging from Les Miserables and Ragtime to Fiddler on the Roof and Spring Awakening. No wonder her pipes have made such a lasting impression on television audiences, too. What can I say? She fills our hearts with.... wait for it...... with Glee. And yes, I went there.


Crystal Chappell

Soap fans, rejoice -- Crystal Chappell has returned to the Hot 100 for the third year in a row. Her portrayal as Olivia Spencer on Guiding Light (aka. one-half of the infamous "Otalia" couple) was recently nominated for a Daytime Emmy award. Gorgeous, able to command melodrama and soft camera lenses with ease, and heartfelt with her depiction of a lesbian relationship on the rather traditional platform of the daily soap -- no wonder she's been counted among the elite over at AfterEllen.com. P.S. -- I just found out she also appeared on Walker, Texas Ranger. I wonder if she learned how to roundhouse kick people. Too cool.


Archie Panjabi

She's the first of the British-born lasses to grace the 2010 Hot 100 list and I am glad to see the international ladies representing with such a fierce femme. Archie Panjabi has spent her career cultivating an impressive number of television credits ranging from the ever-popular BBC hits East of Eden and Life on Mars. Her breakthrough role in the 2002 flick, Bend It Like Beckham, launched Panjabi into a new stratosphere of success across the pond in Hollywood. In 2005, Panjabi landed a role in a little movie readers might have heard of -- does The Constant Gardener sound familiar? She followed with international acclaim for her role in A Mighty Heart (2007) starring alongside Angelina Jolie. Adding a place on the Hot 100 rounds out her CV, don't you think?


Paula Patton

Such a sweetheart she is. Paula Patton has quite the credits to her name. Her career started behind the scenes via the documentaries she created for PBS and her work as a producer for Discovery Health Channel's Medical Diaries. Thankfully, for all us readers out there, Patton made the switch to the spotlight and she's gained momentum ever since. Her first acting role came in 2005 when she starred with Will Smith and Eva Mendes in Hitch. She followed with a role in OutKast's Idlewild (2006) and another role in Déjà Vu (2006) alongside Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer. Current fans will recognize Patton from her stunning role as Ms. Rain in the critically-acclaimed film, Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire. She's got bright stars in her future, literally and figuratively.


Jane Lynch

Of course, we can't ignore one of the First Ladies of classic, queer entertainment and comedic brilliance. Jane Lynch is just about everywhere these days. Name a television show and she's made a guest appearance on it. Care for a sample? Check it out: Judging Amy, The West Wing, 7th Heaven, Friends, Felicity, Arrested Development, Two and a Half Men, Weeds, The L Word, Criminal Minds, Gilmore Girls, and on and on and on. For now, she's settled for a wicked, hilarious stint as Sue Sylvester on the powerhouse, Glee. No matter how often we see Lynch in the media, it just never seems to be enough. And hence, she must be added to AfterEllen.com's Hot 100.

***

Oh, the thirst to find out more can never be slaked. How on Earth can I will myself through this weekend with a list of this magnitude hovering so close?

I never imagined this much excitement could stem from another Monday morning.


So, readers, do you approve of the voting so far? Who are you hoping to see on the Hot 100?

Maxim's Hot 100 and a Disappointed Moffatt

Oh, Maxim. I heard you made a list, Maxim. I heard you called it "the definitive list of the world's most beautiful women."

Really? Really, Maxim? Do you have the credentials to assert this claim? Might I ask what grounds you base this argument on? I glanced at that list and.... hmm.

I question your authority on the subject.

Readers, take a gander at the Top 10 here at Cute, Queer, Canadian and feel free to scan through the remaining 90 ladies over at Maxim's official headquarters.

Check it:

10. Marisa Miller

Ms. Miller is best known for her intensive portfolio with Sports Illustrated. She's a swimsuit model topping a list of.... well, mostly swimsuit and lingerie models. But, she topped 'em all in Maxim's Hot 100 back in 2008 so, heck, the woman's got mass appeal.

9. Kim Kardashian

..... I'm sorry, what? Kim Kardashian is deemed hotter than Anna Paquin, Zooey Deschanel, Gabrielle Union, Eliza Dushku, AND Scarlett Johansson according to this list? Oh, I am seeing major flaws here....

8. Olivia Munn


Alright, well, I found photos of Ms. Munn cosplaying as the gold-bikinied Princess Leia in Star Wars, Street Fighter's Chun Li, and as Wonder Woman, so.... I am a touch more receptive. She's a self-professed nerd and cites Punky Brewster as her childhood idol. Hmm... I might have to look into her acting credits a bit further....

7. Elisabetta Canalis

Maxim credits Ms. Canalis as "Italy's IT Girl," but the first accolade given is her current status as George Clooney's red carpet eye candy. She started her career as a showgirl on a late night, "whacked-out TV show" called Striscia la Notizia and then progressed to MTV Italy's TRL segment.


6. Rihanna

More than one queer gal fell all over themselves after A) Rihanna got a trail of stars tattooed on her neck, B) Rihanna cropped her hair into a cute pixie cut, and C) Rihanna made it sound like she's got some Sapphic undertones to her. We have yet to see proof of her lady lovin' side, but I'll still hold out hope.

5. Megan Fox

She caught attention for her ardent desire to kiss Olivia Wilde, a fierce emotion inspiring Ms. Fox to "strangle a mountain ox" to demonstrate her affections. Since that time, though, Ms. Fox has uttered some alarming comments in relation to her supposed bisexuality (among other topics). One of her gems comes from an interview with Esquire in June 2009: "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I’m also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who is bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I’d never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man." Uh huh. Sure, Megan.

4. Blake Lively

She's played the girl-next-door in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (I and II) and she's dominated the small screen as an infamous Gossip Girl. Be on the lookout in 2011 when Ms. Lively appears in The Green Latern flick. Impressive CV for such a young starlette.

3. Zoe Saldana

YES. MAXIM, YES. At last, at last -- a woman I can support. In fact, I voted for her over at AfterEllen.com's Hot 100 (results to be posted on May 17th). She's played gay, she's a well-versed sci fi nerd, she's unpretentious, AND she's gorgeous. How can so much awesome be wrapped up in one woman?

2. Brooklyn Decker

So, here she is -- the top swimsuit model of Maxim's Hot 100. When I said there were tons of models on this list, I was not exaggerating. I still think that, given the women on this list, Zoe Saldana should have been the supreme champion of the list.


So, who's the at the top of this bikini-clad, thick-haired mass of women?





Wait for it...








Wait for it....





1. Katy Perry




And I have lost faith entirely.

***

I understand why AfterEllen.com decided to start their own Hot 100. After flicking through list after list of swimsuit models and lingerie ladies all posed the same with the same teased hair and narrow waists, you want to see someone different. You want to hear about a woman's achievements, personal causes, and goals coupled with her natural radiance.

I know there are tons of straight boys out there who value the same traits and qualities us gay gals do. So, why do their lists cater to one cut-out of a woman? Gents, I think you need to stage an uprising against the status quo offered by these magazines. I mean, don't get me wrong -- swimsuits and lingerie are delightful to look at, but women are even hotter after they show you their quirks.

I await AfterEllen.com's Hot 100 with greater energies than before....
