Taures
Occupation: Student, coffee pusher, songwriter
Status: Hot and available
What do you wanna be when you grow up? I'm in school for public health, but I'm also a singer and songwriter.
Who's your biggest idol? My mom. She's a "hang-out" mom. We drink wine coolers together.
What do you think is your best attribute? My personality. I can talk to anyone. Other people say it's my shoulders, though.
What's in your pockets right now? Keys, wallet, Publix receipt and a single mint.
Biggest turn-ons, turn-offs? Turn-ons -- smiles and good teeth. Turn-offs -- arrogance, talking loud and bad breath.
Name some books you like. The Color Purple, by Alice Walker. The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. All the Harry Potter books.
What's the last CD you bought? Under Construction, by Missy Elliott.
What's your worst habit? I bite my nails and I'm late a lot.
If you could have dinner with any historical figure, what restaurant would it be at? Apres Diem. I like the sofas. I'd take Stevie Wonder.
If there was a sandwich named after you, what would be in it? I love cheddar cheese and turkey, and I don't like condiments like mustard or mayo.

What's the last movie you saw? What did you think? Chicago. It was good.
Eminem: Underrated genius or overrated misogynist thug? What about overrated genius?
Dealbreakers? Cheating on me or taking advantage of me.
Can you cook? What's your specialty? Yes. My specialty is grilled, boneless chicken breast. I also love corn and rice.
Your last vacation? Germany and France.
What's the best way to hit on you at work? Come in during the afternoon when it's slow so we have time to talk. If it's busy, eye contact is a great way to flirt. Also, you can write your phone number on your cup when you get a refill.
Sweetest thing anyone has ever done for you? Someone once wrote me a poem on a card.
What should people who hit on you know about you? Just because you see me out with someone doesn't mean we're dating. Also, I really like jokes.
The Lust List
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...
Amy
Amy was unique among our hotties as the only one to repeatedly interrupt her interview to get up and dance. She's not kidding when she says she loves music. Five minutes with Amy and you'll feel like her best friend. We wonder if that pisses off her real best friend. What do you wanna be when you grow up? An...
Karen
Karen makes one of her nominators "shake violently at the thought of asking her out." That makes him easy to identify in public. That very same closet-epileptic says Karen's the coolest and friendliest person he's ever met in a coffee shop. What do you wanna be when you grow up? Happy. Who's your biggest idol? My mom -- the bomb...
Anna
At the age of 7, Anna pretended to be her twin so she could pay for candy that she had stolen earlier. Unfortunately for us and Coors, she doesn't actually have a twin. Not that she'd be caught dead with a Coors anyway. Among her lustworthy traits is the ability to conduct phone interviews in various states of undress. Unfortunately,...
Kristen
Apres Diem and its predecessor, Cafe Diem, are legendary for the beauty of their staff. For someone to stand out at Apres Diem means hotness of solar proportions. Although it's perfectly acceptable to ask to sit in her section at the restaurant, please don't call 911 and request Kristen as your paramedic; you will be arrested. What do you wanna...
Daniel
He's not a celebrity, but somehow Daniel has managed to find himself a PR handler. He consulted friend and idol Alex Sears for nearly every answer. What do you wanna be when you grow up? I wanna be involved in editing or publishing. Who's your biggest idol? Alex Sears (left) and Eric Moorhead. What do you think is your best...
Kevin
Before we met Kevin, we were missing one subcategory of hotness -- hunky. So what makes Kevin hunky? He's got muscles and broad shoulders, and looks kind of stoic. Even though he's a sculptor, his choice of historical figure to have dinner with is an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. This makes him well-rounded. What do you wanna be when you...
Dessie
According to the people who know (aka CL readers), Dessie "knows how to rock!!" She also has a collection of ironic T-shirts. What do you wanna be when you grow up? I'm in film school right now at GSU, so something in film. Who's your biggest idol? Clive Barker. What do you think is your best attribute? My personality and...
Elle (pronounced Ellie)
Elle so appealed to one CL reader that he needed the Caps Lock key to adequately describe her. SMOOOOOOTH, GRACEFUL and AMAZING is what he said, along with the intriguing claim that she uses ALL her assets. What do you wanna be when you grow up? A speech pathologist. Who's your biggest idol? My mom. She's a powerful woman. What...
J. (Even his name tag says so)
Said one of J.'s co-workers when describing him: "Damn, damn, damn, damn!" We're inclined to add a couple more exclamation points. What do you wanna be when you grow up? An independent marketing consultant. Who's your biggest idol? Marvin Gaye. What do you think is your best attribute? Compassion. Tell us your favorite joke. Life is funny enough. What should...
Kelvin
Kelvin's nominator is convinced that women in her office jam the copier just to get him to drop by. Writes the nominator: "To see him bend all over the copier results in a bad porn movie fantasy." What do you wanna be when you grow up? A biomedical engineer. Who's your biggest idol? My dad. What do you think is...
Stori
Her nomination not only made a guess at her weight, but also asserted that her "big boobs" are real. Nice. Stori confirms that her breasts are real, but politely asks that you not stare at them when you're ordering food. What do you wanna be when you grow up? I am grown up. This is as far as I can...
