Also, I wanted to add: I really, really dislike the body-part awards. Best ass, best tits, blah blah blah...
Even though you're pretty much guaranteed an indomitable performance in a "Best Tits" category? Lol, that's awfully *big* of you
But seriously, I'm sure you're well aware of the appeal breasts have for men (and quite a few women I know). You've been featured in numerous big breast-themed releases, and just recently, in Curvy Girls. One might almost say it's your "niche," or at least,
a niche for you. I'm sure you learned very early on that your ample bosom has serious power over guys and that you could seduce us easily. I, for one, am not quite as obsessed with big breasts as I am with a voluptuous backside, but I'm still a sucker for big boobs on occasion, and I think better than 90% of the male population is probably with me on that.
Being fit also has its appeal. I don't prefer women to be seriously overweight. I definitely prefer them to be healthy (advice I should probably take myself), just not ultra thin, and especially not the body-builder type of gals. Other guys like it, but I don't.
I guess my point is: curvy is sexy. It always has been, biologically, evolutionarily, sociologically, anthropologically, and so on. I totally agree with you about not having any kind of "worst" categories, but I'm not sure I agree about body part awards being too subjective; on the contrary, I think they run the risk of being too objective, in the sense of, objectification. Reducing women, and people in general, to body parts and analyzing them for purely physical characteristics is degrading, and many of the "joke" awards/contests you refer to are guilty of this.
But let me ask you: Would a "Prettiest" category be better? Wouldn't it be worse in some ways? If one woman is called prettiest, what are all the others? What about the women who don't "make it" into the Top 100, or Top 50, or whatever? Sure, they may not have the biggest boobs, or the best ass, or legs, and so on, but 'pretty' is much too general, and even more subjective than rating individual body parts, IMO.
Everyone has qualities they like best about themselves, and (usually) qualities they like least. I don't see anything offensive about acknowledging when a woman's overall appeal or beauty is enhanced by accentuating her positive features, i.e., the things she likes best about herself. When I think of "Best Ass" or "Best Tits" I'm thinking of the extent to which a woman's sex appeal is most enhanced by her ass or her tits, not that they're the only attractive things about her, but that she uses (for lack of a better word) her ass or her tits to her advantage. Contests that focus on 'pretty' seem to ignore all the other good things women have going for them. What about personality, intelligence, or just general sexiness? Maybe a woman's eyes are extremely beautiful, but her nose keeps her from being crowned the Prettiest. So what? Her eyes are still extremely beautiful.
So I guess what I'm saying is I think "Sexiest" is much to be preferred over "Best," because when I say "Sexiest Ass" I'm talking about how a woman's ass is particularly attractive, and how much sexier she is overall because of it. I'm not saying she has no other positive features, but I'm also not saying she's perfect. Actually, I'm not focusing on her imperfections either, just acknowledging one especially attractive thing about her.
I doubt this will convince you, but this is why I'm in favor of awards for things like T & A.
Too big thumbs up for this one.
Also it would be nice to see an award for: Most Underrated Star (or like the AVN Awards call it, "Best Unsung Starlet")
Excellent idea.
That is IF I do the contest this year. :stir:
Oh, so it isn't even decided yet?
