Tank Top Tuesday

You know how that Tuesday after a vacation can be even worse than the Monday after a vacation because Tuesday is the day it actually sets in that, “Dammit, I’m really going to have to be here all week.” So, naturally, I’ve turned to tank tops to soften the blow. Oh, tank tops. You never fail me.

Maria Bello

I don’t love the promos for “Prime Suspect,” but I do love Maria. So, you know, sold.

Heather MorrisI am suddenly irrationally jealous of that volleyball net, and that pole. Possibly the sand.

Lynn ChenSure, we’re all still in love with Michelle. But of course we fell for Lynn, too. She taught us to fall, after all.

Gillian AndersonScully is working on her fitness. Your argument is invalid.

Rashida JonesIf I promise to keep posting pictures of Rashida in a tank top, will you promise to watch “Parks and Recreations?”

Katie McGrathYou can’t really see much of her tank top here. I’m surprisingly OK with that.

Annie LennoxThat amount of cool should be bottled and sold in stores.

Missy PeregrymI have long forgotten the plot of “Stick It,” but I will never forget those abs.

Joanne KellyHave you ever wondered what a young Agent Myka Bering would look like in a tank top by a campfire? Well, now you know.

Tank Top Tuesday

Sometimes, I don’t have a theme. Sometimes there are just women who look so fucking amazing wearing a tank top that I have to post them. It would be a crime not to. This is one of those sometimes. No deep thoughts, just deeply hot. You know, like our friend Yvonne Strahovski or, more accurately, StraHOTski. You’ve been warned.

Julianne MooreWith both “Chloe” and “The Kids Are All Right” coming out this year, it’s time we had her Honorary Lesbian Hot Plate bronzed.

Missy PeregrymI’m not sure if this is really a tank top. Close enough.

Lisa EdelsteinGod, imagine if the “House” writers had created Cuteen instead of Huddy or, yawn, Snoreteen Foreteen.

Charlotte Gainsbourg

Lady drummers are hot. Always, always hot.

Aishwarya Rai

Hooray for Bollywood.

Malin AkermanI still haven’t seen “Watchmen.” Now I feel doubly bad about this.

Kelly HuI think being able to do this with your leg is illegal in 18 states.

Jena MaloneSomething for the younger folks, since I still vividly remember her playing the child-version of Jodie Foster in “Contact.” But she is 25 now so, you know, daaamn.

Zoe SaldanaTank? Check. Tats? Check. Piercings? Check. Gun? Check. Do you not even care what this movie is about as long as you can see Zoe in her tank with tats, piercings and a big-ass gun? Check.

Tank Top Tuesday

Some people say it with flowers, I say it with tank tops. As an added thank you for your generous contributions and enthusiastic support of our 8 Against 8 campaign (We raised $13,759 to fight Prop. 8!), I give you the return of Tank Top Tuesday. Really, FTD should consider creating a bouquet of a dozen tank tops in lieu of roses. Not only do they last longer, but they are also considerably more comfortable to wear. Just think of the untapped market for lesbian-themed “floral” arrangements. A bouquet of Birkenstocks. A garland of crisp cargo shorts. A vase filled with an autumnal-assortment of Chapsticks. But, for now, please accept these dozen tank tops as a token of my thanks. Click to enlarge each photo to truly appreciate the depths of my gratitude.

Holding out for a Hero

TV Guide has reported that “Stick It” star Missy Peregrym will join the cast of NBC’s new hit drama “Heroes.” Let me confess that I don’t watch. I started, lost interest and am now too lazy to catch up. I do, however, appreciate the show’s smoking hot cast. With the addition of Missy - who brought more than a couple adult lesbians out to see the straight teen flick - it’s only getting hotter.

Why has Missy - who looks like the love child from a Hilary Swank-Linda Fiorentino tryst - caught many a gal gal’s eye? Well, look at her. Duh. Plus, whether she is gay or not, she sends off a decidedly dykey vibe. Not convinced? Consider the empirical evidence.

1. She wore this on the red carpet. This is something I would wear (minus the purse) when I’m being “fancy.” This does not speak to her feminine tendencies.
2. She appreciates a sensible shoe.
3. She seems really happy to be near this trophy.

4. She knows how to act around crazy straight women. In this case, that crazy straight woman is Avril Lavigne.
5. She knows how to act around non-crazy straight women. Note the placement of her right hand. Very nice.
