Trifectas: who's in yours?

[MarkGrace]

This might be stepping on the toes of the "eye of the beholder" thread, but I've intended to do this take on it for a while now. A handful of years back some friends of ours introduced us to the concept of the "trifecta." At this point I can't remember what the concept was, but the Mrs. and I always thought it was kind of funny and will occasionally ask each other who is in the current trifecta.

My current ladies:

Mila Kunis - hard to forget Sarah Marshall
Cheryl Cole - this girl is allowed
Natalie Portman - sans bun in the oven, of course

I think Nik would describe my tastes as "skinny iceskating queen bitches," or something like that.

To humor the ladies on the board, keep up the ruse with RockyBalboa, and remind Surfah that it's ok if someone looks like a man as long as he is actually a man, these are the dudes I find irresistible:

Tom Welling - the all american prototype and Soccermom approved!
Chase Crawford - maybe a bit too pretty, but really a handsome dude
Matt Damon - everyone wants to f$%^ Matt Damon

Feel free to update your lists accordingly as you move people in and out of the trifecta!

I don't even know where to start with this thread.

Current:

Kristin Bell
January Jones
Brooklyn Decker

All Time:

70s Cheryl Tiegs
90s Diane Lane
50s Grace Kelly

Men, all time:

1930s Cary Grant -- I watched the beginning of Gunga Din the other day. I think Cary Grant was the best looking man ever.

1960s Sean Connery.

Truthfully, I can't think of another dude to put on here.

ha. This is your wheelhouse! I'm reminded of High Fidelity when Rob Gordon is asked by the reporter to name his 5 favorite records of all-time and his head nearly explodes.

Your inclusion of Natalie Portman renders me impotent in the sense of retorting with anything negative, but most definitely not in any other sense. Her SNL rap from a few years ago erased any memory of wooden acting in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy snoozefest, which I now chalk up to horrible script writing and not her. A free pass from me.

I usually just keep one favorite not a trifecta. It was Scarlett Johansen for a long time, but she's been out of the public eye for a while. let me think, i'll be back.

Let's just say the girl in Game of Thrones wearing the platinum blond wig that's done about 7 nude scenes in the first two episodes and looks like her natural role should have been playing a hobbit isn't making the list.

I also was thinking about Rashida Jones and the girl who plays Peter Campbell's wife on Mad Men -- Alison Brie. She was on Kimmel's show last week and looked incredibly hot. I'm also a big fan of Don Draper's new wife who had pretty much the best cameo ever in Hot Tub Time Machine. Natalie Zea, who plays Timothy Oliphant's ex-wife on Justified also has a license to do me. Then there's Ashley Green that had naked cell phone pictures of herself leaked online from the Twilight movies.

I already have you down for Sawyer from Lost.

I had a major Rashida crush going after seeing I Love You, Man. Also, Alison Brie is in Scream 4 and looking rather pleasant.

Yeah, that was pretty awesome.

gotta have some variety, baby! a big part of beyonce's allure is that jay hova has been all up in that.

MG, I think it was you who told me who Mila Kunis was (or more to the point put a name to a face) some time last year. I was never really into That 70's Show and always associated Meg Griffin's face to that voice and thus couldn't appreciate what was "underneath". In that time since, I've come to appreciate her "work" and consider myself among the many charter members of the Most-Want-To-Get-Caught-Naked-With Club. The shorts she wore on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, not to mention that little guest services blouse...forget about it.

Portman also has one of the sexiest necklines I've seen but I'll leave her off my final Ross-Geller-approved laminated list.

Mila Kunis
Scarlett Johansen
Beyonce

My wife has given me her seal of approval on that list.

That's a little weird!

Kunis and Emma Stone seem to be on a consistent upward trajectory of hotness. I swear those two get better looking every single time a new movie comes out.
