The Flexible Five

As you know, I have a Top 5 list. One that is mostly long standing with only one deletion/addition over the last two years. For those wondering, Top 5 is that list of guys who you have an exemption to sleep with no matter whether you are in a committed relationship, married, a nun, whatever. Both men and women are entitled to their Top 5 list. Mine is as follows:

5- Josh Holloway (from TV's LOST)
4- George Clooney
3- David Beckham
2- Hugh Jackman (down a slot from his previous high on #1)
1- Taylor Kitsch (from TV's Friday Night Lights, and Wolverine)

My plus one (girl I'd consider going gay for) remains Angelina Jolie.

Here's the thing, Scott also has a Top 5 list. But really, it's a Top 17 list, because it changes constantly. Many of our conversations go like so:

S: "______(model/actress) is definitely in my Top 5"
Me: Um, OK. Who does she replace?
S: Who else is on my list?
Me: Not my job to keep your list. I can tell you though that you've got about 17 women in your Top 5.
S: (affronted) I *do* not! Let's see there's...(list follows, including much dithering and questions like, "Who plays so-and-so on thus-and-such show? Yeah, her.")

Yesterday's text exchange went like so:

S: Tiffani Theissen is definitely in my Top 5.
Me: I just threw up a little in my mouth.
S: What? You're judgmental! What's wrong with Tiffani?
Me: She's got a round face, and also, she has Brian Austin Green ick on her.
S: I'll give you the round face thing, but she's round other places too...
Me: Oh, eww.

Anyway, so, his Top 5 includes: Charlize Theron (she's apparently in cement, she's so permanent, as I was informed yesterday, even though the last couple times he went through his list, she didn't appear. See? Flexible), Rena Sofer, Julie Bowen, Tiffani Theissen, and one other pick who he is holding in receivership.

The point is though, this list changes constantly.

Now, for my girlfriends, most of their lists are relatively static. My list is not made up of what kind of person are they. Because, let's be honest, I don't think Becks is the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, and when he talks he sounds like a London gutter rat. But look how pretty. As I say over and over, "I don't need him to talk to me." But generally they're on the list because there's a certain "something" about them. Also, they are consistently hot. Almost every picture of Clooney, I think, "Wow, he's gorgeous". Same with Jackman. For Becks, Holloway and Kitsch, it's the bad boy thing. I just love a bad boy.

For guys, I think it's less so. Scott's list seems to be mostly based on hotness, not consistency. Seriously, one hot photo of a starlet, and she's in consideration for Top 5 status.

So, I guess I'm wondering, who is in your Top 5. And why? And also, does your significant other/hubby have a top 5? If so, who is in it?
