EDITORIAL
When rough-and-tumble Survivor Gabon star Jessica Kiper was asked recently what video game character she'd most like to be, she instantly insisted: "Lam Croft. She's just bad ass." So is Sleuth...and quite a character...so he's decided to open this SEVENTEENTH edition of our annual "Women of Fantasy" with a titillating tribute to the ultimate sex object: "Being Lam Croft for me,"felt p. 28's Jill de Jong, "was a tool to bring certain fantasies into reality. I mean, Lara Croft is a three-dimensional character (and how!), and there's so much press (a mere 32 pages this issue!), so many pictures (just 225 or so!) there's Angelina Jolie! But, in the end, they never really get to see Angelina Jolie for real . . .." Starting on page 24 they do!
"It's just nice to see that some fantasies do become reality" de Jong concluded... we're certain you'll conclude the same after seeing these fantasies made flesh. And the leading ladies of the genre seem to feed those fantasies more than most: "I love to be nude and I love sex," reveals Rebecca Romijn—a fixture in the X-Men series and Sleuth spreads. "Being a dominatrix in the bedroom, sex in cars and in public places all turn me on. And I love fantasizing about being naked on an island with lots of other naked people."
At least 7 of 9 of them should be juicy Jeri Ryan—the full-bodied Borg from Star Thek: Voyager—who admits that her "final front•tier" still shadows her career: "It's a good thing I'm not one of those prissy girls," smiles our doubly-disrobed drone of being introduced to sex-mad Shark co-star James Woods. 'Within 30 seconds of meeting Jimmy, he began commenting on The Girls,' as I refer to my boobs. In fact, The Girls' have become a constant topic of conversation on the set." At least she could discuss her Star Trek "background" with Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, when both worked on Boston Legal, right? "Not really," Jeri jokes. "He mainly talked about The Girls."'
Fantasy fixture Kate Beckinsale mainly talks about The Curls'—or more specifically What Lies Beneath: "My best feature is unfortunately a private matter," she's happy to tell the world, "although I am told it is spectacular. But you can't really walk 'it' down the red carpet. What can I say?" Give her a second: "Only a handful of people have seen into the Pharaoh's Tomb" (shouldn't that be her "Underworld"?). As lesbian-lovin' Curve magazine mused: "It's not often that an A-list actor will talk about vaginas. But actress Kate Beckinsale references them candidly. And repeatedly (three times in Sleuth alone!). When asked how she feels about fish in an interview with Mean magazine, Beckinsale replied, 'I can't do tutv. I can't do sushi, even. Anything that has a vaginal quality to it. I'd rather eat an actual vagina than that, honestly" Well, she did just star in a 2008 film called 'Winged Creatures," not to mention Laurel Canyon, The Golden Bowl, Pearl Harbor, Vacancy, Shooting Fish, Devices and Desires, Much Ado About Nothing and, our specialty Uncovered. But would she really munch on a female's raw flesh over raw fish? "I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything," Kate confirms. "At least a vagina would be warm." As Curve concluded: "Can't argue with her there." Took the
right out of my mouth...
