The Hottest Lesbian Characters in Film and TV

＜English＞

2008 Oct 28

Just yesterday we finished posting TW's Hottest Lesbians Hot List B: The Hottest Lesbian Characters in Film and TV. What did you think?

We tried our best to incorporate as much balance as we could, given how strong our own personal passions for certain characters can be!

Who would you have selected for Number One?

...Amy from "If These Walls Could Talk 2" is luscious...but Isabelle from "The Spanish Apartment" is no shabby choice...while Corky from "Bound" would be a dream...or Graham from "But I'm a Cheerleader"... though who could ever walk away from Lucy from "D.E.B.S"!
There are too many women and not enough time!

With all these wonderful characters it really is hard to say who's any better, but the staff here at TW followed our own strict definition of "dyke" and discussed many times over who belonged where on the list (and why). For the most part, our decisions were based on the same guidelines applied in List A - that is, candidates popularly supported within dyke culture itself, and those that show a clear "dyke" lifestyle and attitude, were favored in the ranking.

With that in mind we must confess, there is one character we wish we could have put at Number One. As many of you can guess, that would be Ruka from Last Friends.

As a matter of fact, our article had already been completed by the time that Last Friends began to air, but as we watched the program we couldn't help but think, "It's HER. She's our number one!" It was thrilling to think that our own Japanese hottie would top the heavily non-Japanese chart.

The conviction and passion in Ruka's eyes, her slightly sad expression, the form of her noble and determined figure, her pure kind heart, and her lovely baby face. She's number one! However as the story progressed, it became clearer that her character was grappling with gender dysphoria, and even while we adore her and her gray zone, we were afraid that - in the spirit of the character - Ruka herself may not appreciate being named to this list. Reluctantly, we decided to forgo adding her name.

It's fun, but hard work selecting the top ten - and we know that countless sexy female characters may have been overlooked! That's why, we're working on creating next year's list based on readers' votes. More on that later!

In the meantime, we are accepting votes on this year's list through the TW community on the Mixi SNS website. Members of Mixi can share their votes, and thoughts, with us here.
