If she can't laugh it don't matter what she's wearing, and if she can then the same applies.

Annette Bening was sexy as hell in that part and that scene was fantastic.

My favorite line from "An American President" was when they were at Camp David talking about the noise making opposition (Played by Richard Dreyfus) when Annette said;

"These are people who claim to love America but clearly can't stand Americans."

Best line of the movie.

Woman dressed in schoolgirl uniform. White blouse, short red checkered skirt, white stockings up to the knees, black leather shoes. Maybe a tie, too. Think Britney Spears in 'Baby, One More Time'.

I'm also a sucker for non-white girls. African-American, Asian, Latin... wow!

But, the women I've liked the most and found the sexiest all seem to be intelligent, somewhat outgoing (or more) and at least reasonably confident. So, I guess it comes down to personality for me.

1). Supremely talented

2). Very subtle and understated...there's a lot going on under the surface, but she doesn't run out onto the stage screaming "HELLO CLEVELAND"

3). She's "consistently sexy"...she doesn't turn it on or off, she's just Norah Jones all the time, and she's gorgeous. Take her performance with Dave Grohl at the Kennedy Center Honors for Paul McCartney. "Maybe I'm Amazed" has always been one of Sir Paul's greatest songs, every bit the equal of ANY song he wrote while in The Beatles. It was a simple, stark, emotionally performed song that he wrote for Linda. Grohl & Jones clearly "understood" the song (watch Pauls facial expressions throughout the performance). But they also turned up the heat, and they did so without compromising what made the original so special. It's subtle, and it's on fire...just like Norah.

Is that Billy Joel playing the piano? (Quick shot in the beginning) I think another word for Norah would be smouldering. One of my favorites by her is a duet she did with Ray Charles on the CD: "Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company" in the song "Here We Go Again" with Billy Preston playing the Hammond B3:

In terms of physical attraction, I have a thing for well-dressed, well-manicured women and I am drawn to women wearing skirts, blouses, business suits and the like. The more well-dressed and well-manicured a woman is, the more I am drawn to her

Three examples of what my kind of ideal woman would look like

And yes, I know the first one is a Republican
