Creative Loafing Atlanta

Strip Valentine's Day of the roses, the chocolates, the Hallmarketed exterior, and what remains? Well, lust, of course. Last month, we asked Creative Loafing readers to identify their favorite hotties. We weren't interested in love, in teddy bear affection, in misty-eyed sweetness. No, we wanted lust. And we didn't want strippers, or celebrities, or the fabulously wealthy. What we found is that objects of lust are everywhere -- in the coffee shops, in the restaurants, even in the copier repair guy. Among the hundreds of entries, we pared our list down to 13. We're proud of the picks. Not just because of their hotness, which is obvious, but because every last person was intelligent and fun. That makes perfect sense to us since, if you read CL, you clearly have great taste. Perhaps we should have nominated ourselves.

Here are some of our favorite comments that readers made about their nominees:

- One word: Cleavage "Wow"
- Goes the extra mile (ex. takes splinters out of customer's fingers)
- I always buy his products and take them back for exchange just to see him.
- She is a hottie who is not a hateful bitch like some hotties are.
- If you don't feature my little Scout, I think I might just pout.
- He looks like a young Ozzy Osbourne, so adorable!
- What a waste of a human.
- I think she may have pierced her little friends too, if you know what I'm sayin'.
- Too cha-cha for words.
- Mmmm . . . I could just lick the mocha off of him.
- I want to jump him.
- He speaks his mind and will tell you to shut your cock washer if you are singing like shit.
- She does an excellent job of getting me wasted.
- Slightly goth, slightly hippie, all artist
- Just don't cross her. She will kick your ass.
- She was once the love of my life.
- He has a heart of gold, a great smile and the biggest dick in all of Atlanta.
- She aspires to open a vibrator shop because she seems to know a LOT about them.
- I'd do her in a second, and as a rule I only do goats.
- Atlanta's hottest hottie is right in your own backyard
