Jonathan Owens

Operations Director, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chastain Park, 27
Published 02.06.08

Underneath those brushed-aside locks lies the brain of a true wiseacre, ladies. This dashing lad, trained in audio engineering, helps bring you the soothing sounds of the symphony and the wine-and-cheese bacchanalia that is the Chastain experience.

How'd you get so hot?

Let's skip that one.

Select "Shuffle" on your iPod. What's the first song that comes up?

The Giant Drag, "Everything's Worse."

What's the best way to ask you out?

(Laughs.) Ask my girlfriend first.

Do you have any pet peeves?

People who clap in movies bother me. I can understand at a premiere, but come on.

MySpace or Facebook?

MySpace. Why? There's too much crap on Facebook.

Who would you go gay for?

Ellen DeGeneres. Wait, does that count?

Clowns, funny or scary?

Ahhh, funny and scary.

Hannah Montana – WTF?

It's insane. And the Jonas Brothers, her backing band, sold out their tour in four minutes. It's crazy.

Your karaoke song of choice?

Night Ranger's "Sister Christian."

Do you have any irrational fears?

Aneurysms. I was a hypochondriac about that, and appendicitis. I think someone told me they had an aneurysm, and then I was convinced I would have one. Like when I get a headache, I'm like, "What if?"

Tell us about your first kiss.

At band camp. That was the first kiss that I really enjoyed, at least.

What's the lamest pickup line you've heard?

Anything dealing with mirrors and pants.

What's your guiltiest pleasure?

Counting Crows.

The band or the act of actually counting birds?

The band.

What do you wear to bed?

Boxers or nothing.

Celebrating Atlanta's real-life hotties and heartthrobs

Ryann Grove

Ryann's wild curls and deep, dark eyes make her jump off the page, but this gorgeous server's honesty and infectious laugh are a big part of why readers picked her. How'd you get so hot?

Adrianne Smith

"Her eyes! My God! One long stare from those eyes make my insides quiver and then melt," one of our readers says of Adrianne.

What's a secret talent of yours? Sleeping...

Jessica Snipes

"Hanging out with Jessica makes me feel like Woody Allen opposite Diane Keaton," says Jessica's nominator. For those of you who haven't seen Annie Hall, that means Jessica's rare combination of beauty, brains and wit turns him into a stammering, nervous wreck. How'd you get so hot? This is such a ridiculous question. I don't consider myself hot. I guess...

Camron Wiltshire

Eloquent and strong, Wiltshire is equal parts philosopher, fighter and artist. He can subdue you with either kicks or his charm.

How do you answer that? I'm flattered,...

Ray Hamilton

Yes, Ray Hamilton has heard he looks like Terence Howard. And like the star of Hustle & Flow, Hamilton emanates cool, quiet confidence.

What celebrity would you like to be stuck in...

Lisa Moore

As executive director of a nonprofit legal-aid clinic, she has represented such bands as Deerhunter and Hope for Agoldensummer. Our readers also tell us this attorney's good looks get them a little hot under their white collars. How'd you get so hot? (Laughs.) It is rare that I'm at a loss for words. Maybe running around after kids keeps me...
