Vacation Vixen: Paula Patton

Right, so I am technically not on vacation anymore. But then I saw Paula and I thought, well, what is one extra day?

Vacation Vixen: Shay Mitchell

You might not watch “Pretty Little Liars,” but maybe you should. (p.s. It returns tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC Family)

Vacation Vixen: Kate Winslet

I can think of no better way to bid adieu to 2011 than with a little tousled Winslet. What a year, kittens, what a year.

Vacation Vixen: Cate Blanchett

A woman’s hands say so much about her.

Vacation Vixen: Carole Lombard

Now that, that’s sexy in any era.

Vacation Vixen: Julianne Moore

I know it’s pretty un-PETA of me, but I just love the way skin looks against leather.

Vacation Vixen: Angie Harmon

Season 2 finale of “Rizzoli & Isles” is tonight, so feast your eyes on the #gayzzoli while you still can.

Vacation Vixens: Emma Thompson & Helena Bonham Carter

Looks like Sybil Trelawney and Bellatrix LeStrange went through kind of an experimental phase in college.

Vacation Vixen: Olivia Wilde

All I know is that is one lucky fucking table.

Vacation Vixen: Michelle Krusiec

If you aren’t still a little in love with Michelle from “Saving Face,” then you’re just flat-out lying to yourself.

Vacation Vixen: Alex Kingston

I am so simultaneously confused and amazed and enthralled by this season of “Dr. Who.” But the one thing I know for 100 percent certain is Alex Kingston is the best thing things sliced bread, buttered toast, French toast and any other kind of bread-based meal you can think of.

Vacation Vixen: Sasha Alexander

Kittens, I’m on vacation again. But don’t worry, it’s just for a quick week. I’m popping back home for a long-overdue family visit. But while I’m away, as always, I will leave you with the variety of vivacious Vacation Vixens to view. But, because I love you, I will do my best to still bring you this week’s Rizzoli & Isles Subtext Recap. It also may be because I seem to be a little unclear on the definition of the word “vacation.” So, please enjoy the scrumptious Sasha Alexander today. And come back to AfterEllen tomorrow for a recap of tonight’s episode.

Vacation Vixen: Frankie Rayder, Liv Tyler & Eva Mendes

So it’s the last day of my vacation. Why not go out with a threeway?

Vacation Vixen: Noomi Rapace

But I did not go to Sweden during any part of my vacation. Pity.

Vacation Vixen: Sophia Loren

I went to Italy for part of my vacation, how could I not?

Vacation Vixen: Tilda Swinton

Even the back of her head is fucking fascinating.

Vacation Vixen: Beyoncé

Beyoncé’s thighs should be registered as a national treasure.

Vacation Vixen: Michelle Rodriguez

I think M-Rod’s Pocahontas is showing. And, strangely enough, that’s not a euphemism.

Vacation Vixen: Deborah Ann Woll

This is not a tank top. Will you ever forgive me?

Vacation Vixen: Amy Poehler

No panda could ever be sad around Amy. Especially not a panda who is copping a little feel.
