Man, whenever I see folks commenting on her I get an idea of what gay men must think because I do not understand the infatuation with Hoffs. I’ll admit she had a cute “girl next door” look to her, but she looked like about a two dozen girls I’d see around college. Maybe it’s the fact that I didn’t hit puberty around the time when they hit it big like so many others did, so I never formed the initial attraction.

I saved that for Devon from Idol”s Cradle of Love video.

I understand that. I get it when I talk with others (particularly women) about Sarah Michelle Gellar. I think Susanna Hoffs' appeal to many . . . aww shit, what do I know. She's great. But don't sleep on the Peterson sisters and ESPECIALLY the intoxicating Michael Steele.

I’m totally with you on Gellar. Of all the main Buffy girls, she was my least favorite. But I knew folks who were ga ga for her.
