Non-MX Articles: Lauren Lee Smith (5/09 AfterEllen Hot 100)

Excerpt from After Ellen 5/11/09: Lauren Lee Smith

The 2009 AfterEllen.com Hot 100
by AfterEllen.com Staff
May 11, 2009

We introduced the first annual Hot 100 in 2007 to give lesbian/bi women a way to express what, or who, we find attractive, since our voice is largely missing from mainstream, heterocentric pop culture. We made it into an annual event because it was so popular — and because it's fun, something we need a little of in-between fighting for our civil rights or searching in vain for decent lesbian/bi visibility in TV shows and movies.

NOW ON TO THE LIST!
We've provided descriptions for each of the women who landed in the top twenty of the list. We've also put asterisks next to the names of all openly gay/bi women, noted their previous rank if they've made the list before, and added a "new" badge next to the names of those women who have never appeared on the Hot 100.
