The super hot dude or girl trope.

[Gingerbread Demon]

The one I think about most would be Heather Locklear from "Melrose Place." The other lady from the show who she didn't get along with as well. Also if I recall "Ally McBeal" wore some pretty short skirts as well if I recall correctly. Also not a lawyer but something that never made since to me in regards to cheerleaders especially with "Glee" and Claire from "Heroes"" or football jocks and the letterman jackets that you get for playing sports is how they are always wearing them all the time. When I went to high school you basically only wore them to school if their was going to be a game that day or maybe a pep rally. I even had a letterman jacket in high school since I played sports and I know I didn't wear as much as you see kids do it on tv. Nobody did.

Oh I remember the show Ally McBeal but hardly ever watched it. I do remember Heather Locklear playing a lawyer but would have hardly called her middle age. But I do get the point you are making, no woman in that age group would dress like that for court.

She might not have been middle age but it seems like she has been around forever even in the mid-90's. I recall her from "T,J Hooker." I got to think the actress who is older than she looks and is still hot but nobody knows her age on "Episodes" must have been a character inspired by Heather Locklear.

Actually that's a well used TV trope

See the new Terminators in the upcoming Dark Fate? Does Skynet now design its covert killing machines based on what teenage and young adult humans considered pretty in magazines from 2004?

There's a lovely woman here at work who I've had a crush on for (OMG) the 31 years I've known her. I find her no less gorgeous at 50 than she was at 19, and I know a lot of guys here who feel the same. The sight of her literally makes me sigh, and I've walked into more than one wall, doorjamb or column.

Have you any examples? I probably just blank these from memory, but the only one I can think of is Holly the Ship’s computer going to mush when Ace Rimmer spoke to her.

Suppose it happened a bit in Vicar of Dibley.

I have the perfect example of what Cyanide Muffin is talking about. It may even be the origin of the trope.

Played by Julie Newmar in the 1959 film Lil' Abner, based in turn on a stage musical which was based on the newspaper comic, Miss Jones was so drop-dead gorgeous that the mere sight of her charms froze men in their tracks and left them speechless, witless and focus-less (in other words, she left them stupefied, hence her name.)

As for the trope itself, sorry, I'm old school. I can't generate much hate toward it because every time I've seen it it's been played for laughs or general camp, like in the case of Miss Jones or the example Butters mentioned.

And you know how many years I searched for a decent transfer of that movie. That movie made many a teenage night bearable. Now I'm horny.

Oh dear.

Another movie I hope to find one day is "The Private Lives Of Adam And Eve" but every copy I have ever bought has been a shitty VHS transfer done on DVD R disks.

Helen Mirren's turn in Herostratus says a lot.

I've seen a few women in the past that have made me lose the ability to form complete sentences.

Did you ever have the ability to form complete....er, y'know?

I'm..I'm.....hmm.

Almost never in TV or movies, but in music videos it happens all the time. Like with 2 Unlimited. Woot woot!
