Let's face it: Maxim doesn't cater to lesbians. In fact, you could say it flies in the face of all that we hold dear, especially when it declares Lindsay Lohan the hottest of them all, as it did when it published The Maxim Hot 100 List last month. So we asked you, our readers, to create your own list of hotties, and you came out in droves to nominate the women you think deserve to be on the AfterEllen.com Hot 100 List. Thousands of votes later, we have the results.

What a surprise. The list has ugly women with attitude, the entire cast of "The L Word" and Kate Winslet, who is somewhere in between. Men, never ask a lesbian to find you a date.

I don't know. I could stare at about 60% of that list, at least. I've definitely met guys with worst taste.
- 12 votes
@Cash, you're just upset because Jessica Alba wasn't on the list.
BTW, I'm not 100% certain that #98, Amelie Mauresmo, was born a woman.
- 5 votes
Yeah, she sprayed that champagne bottle far too well to be a woman.
- 3 votes
Well, Kate isn't exactly ugly. I would put her in the cute category.
- 6 votes
You guys are thinking of Kate Beckinsale. Kate Winslet isn't even cute for British women.
- 1 vote
Jessica Alba is #38!
Kate Winslet is beautiful.
Michelle Rodriguez is frightening.
And that Amelie character has the jawline of a man, no doubt.
Cash, you're just upset because half the women on that list actually ARE lesbians.
- 12 votes
And you would know that how?
Did it go like this:
"Hi, I heard a rumor about your sexual orientation and the only way you can prove me wrong is to have sex with me right now."
"Well, ok, Viki, I guess I gotta."
Cause I've tried that and it never worked for me.

I have a friend that used to have sex with this girl who later became a lesbian. A while after the switchover, we were all at a party. They got to talking about sex, and he told her that she was no good at oral pleasuring. She begged to differ, and he challenged her to prove him wrong. Off they went, and he came back a while later with a smile on his face.

Well, several of them are out as lesbians. It's not just a rumor. I was exaggerating with the half part, but several of them ARE out lesbians.

Come on now, there are some definite hotties on the L word... like Sarah Shahi.

Kate Winslett is plenty hot/cute enough. You have strange taste, Cash. ;-)
(And Xena isn't a lesbian...she's just worshipped by Lesbians.)
- 4 votes
I can live with a good 50% of this list, so I can't fault their taste in women all that much.
It's their taste in men I have an issue with.
- 6 votes
No, no, you're right. I screwed up on that one. I was thinking of someone else. I think.
- 1 vote
The out lesbians/bisexuals are marked with asterisks. They list: Leisha Hailey, Angelina Jolie, Guinevere Turner, Portia de Rossi, Kristanna Loken, Ellen DeGeneres, Jackie Warner, Amelie Mauresmo.
That said, I would lesbians to know: don't let the penis fool you. I, too, am a lesbian, judging by how many women on the complete list I thought were hot.
- 3 votes
I too (like ignoblus - don't let the "roll of Susan B's" in my pocket fool you) am a lesbian, not attracted to men at all. The Top Ten are soooooooo .......... yummy.

Lawless may not be a lesbian, but the L's I know are nuts for her and the whole Xena thing.
- 1 vote
Yeah, that's because Raimi and Tapert and the rest of the producers knew it so they started having those girls taking baths together.

Viki @#1.17:
Your list just depressed me when I found Allison Janney on it.
I had such a crush on her in The West Wing....

I believe in equal opportunity, Lau...
It increases my odds.

Men, never ask a lesbian to find you a date.
I love lesbians. Even the girls that look like they lost their virginity to a truck.

I love them too and gay men.
Even if I don't want to necessarily sleep with them. I just love their attitude.

Eh. I think Kate is kinda cute. And Natalie is hot but way too young. But if she asked me out I wouldn't say no.
And even you, Cash, can't say Semla Hayek isn't.
But Tina Fey and Jennifer Beals? Pass.
- 3 votes
Tina Fey is funny. Funny is always good so it gives her a pass on her slightly large ass. Jennifer Beals wasn't all that cute when she was young though I think she looks much better now.
Isn't Selma Hayek pregnant? I don't do preggers - unless I made them that way.
- 5 votes
Wait, does this mean there are some Cash jr's running around?
- 3 votes
You are passing on Jennifer Beals? And I gotta agree with Cash-ola, Tina "Don't Call Me Scarface" Fey is funny and smart and not hideous; not a deal breaker for me in the hotties category.
- 2 votes
Tina Fey is interesting...cute enough, but the sense of humor puts her in the win column. Jennfer Beals has one of the nicest bums on the planet.
- 5 votes
I'm down with Tina Fey, for all the reasons Cash enumerated. And I noticed Alison Janney on the list too (CJ Cregg from teh West Wing). Call me crazy, but I had a huge crush on her when I was watching the show regularly. Tall and smart. Works for me.

I really don't get your objection to this list. Other than the 10-15 women that are 15-20 years older than me, I wouldn't mind having lesbian friends setting me up with any of them.
- 9 votes
You might drink Thunderbird at your age too. However, as your tastes become more elegant and refined and lots of other words that make me sound superior, you will basically only want to date hot women.
Kate Beckinsale - yes.
Kate Winslet - no.
P.S. And, if you are truly discerning, hot women who can bake pies.
- 4 votes
...you will basically only want to date hot women.
Eric, trust me. I'm a scientist. If you wanna keep dating them, any woman you date is hot.
- 5 votes
Cash- I would very much enjoy holding and comforting Kate Winslet, when she comes crying that you don't consider her attractive. *Breaking down in tears, her arms find comfort around my neck*
There, there, Kate. *her racking sobs and heaving chest, pressing me against the my étagere- her hot, salty wet tears running down my neck.*
*our vulnerabilities and unexpected physical responses leaves us surprised, stunned for the moment, and searching for something reciprocal in each other's eyes*
Everything is as it should be, Kate. Don't let the mean scientist make you sad.

Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie are so beautiful. I could stare at them for hours. I only wish I could meet a non famous girl to date who is that beautiful! Lol

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Visualize yourself being the person who attracts beauty to yourself; Do, act, and comport yourself the way that person would.
You will attract beauty to you :)

I met their number one, Leisha Hailey, once, when she was in the Murmurs. Nice girl.
- 4 votes
Wait, wait, wait:
11. Eliza Dushku
Her butchy turn as a former gymnast-turned-cheerleader in Bring It On (2000) gave chain wallets a good name, but Eliza's role as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer — with all of her swagger and deadly, seductive skill — firmly cemented her role as a lesbian icon.
Seriously? The infinitely cuter Alyson Hannigan who actually played a smart lesbian was beat out by the chick character who @!$%#ed any man she laid eyes on and liked to hit things? I just don't get the Eliza Dushku thing.
- 4 votes
I just don't get the Eliza Dushku thing.
Well, you see, she's really hot.

I'm with you - I'd take Allyson any day. I used to crush on her as I watched that series.

I would always rather have a little Faith myself. And in "Tru Calling" she wore a lab coat. Yowza.

Upon further review, every major actress from BTVS is on the list except for Emma Caulfield (Anya) and Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn). Weird. I had no idea the show was so popular with the lesbian community.
- 2 votes
All things considered, I think they did a better job than Maxim. There are a few I wouldn't have put on the list (you know who they are), but overall, I think they were much better judges. My only real problem is with Angelina at number 2. I just don't get what people find so hot about her. Kate Winslet, on the other hand, her posing for that sketch in Titanic will forever be etched in my mind. :)
- 7 votes
All in all a pretty good list. Sorry Cash, Kate Wnslet is very attractive. There are several that are scary, but I would agree with Brooks Travis, better overall list than Maxim.
- 3 votes
Hey. I can't really down lesbians for picking their list. I'm a lesbian too.
Most of that list I wouldn't kick out of bed (if they happened to venture in it), but there were a few I'd have to ask to leave. I can think of a couple there that'd I'd have to invite... like Jolie.

Shawn's joke brings to mind this joke:
A cowboy enters a town and sees a pretty lady leaving it. He hasn't seen a woman in months. He asks her to dinner.
She tells him she's a lesbian.
'What's that?" he asks.
"I like women."
"Well, hell, pardner, I like women too. Guess I'm one of them lesbians too. Let's go into town now and find us some more of them lesbians."

Kate Winslet is absolutely gorgeous!!!
How 'bout a movie with Kate & Monica Bellucci, mmmmmmmmmm I pray for that day to come!
- 1 vote
First of all most of you apes are judging Kate by that photo, it probably isn't the best photo of her. Second of all, most of the comments you make are classically construed criticisms based on archetypes of the 'male desiring of women'. It takes one look and you can tell whether or not you want to spend your life with them.
I love that list, its thousands of times better than Maxim.
- 2 votes
I can spend 7 hours writing a science article that will get 15 votes but anything with 'lesbian' in the title is still getting comments a year later.
That's why I heart Newsvine.
And I'll cop to that 'ape' pejorative. Kate Winslet is beat. I have spoken.

Only attractive to women (that went for Princess Diana too - I never heard a guy say she was attractive but women did).

...whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's ease up on Princes Di. She is Princess dead.
Me and Spooky, obviously but then there's also ... oh, who am I kidding? No woman needs anything more.
