EDITORIAL NOTE
The Skinny
Yeah, yeah, we were excited about watching the Academy Awards and checking out
our favorite lady lovelies decked out in their sexy Oscar outfits. But here at
SKIN, we're more excited about our own special awards celebration— the annual
presentation of CELEBRITY SKIN'S The Skinny award. You know what we're talking
about—an unabridged, celebratory look at the hottest, sexiest, bra-bustingest
Hollywood actresses to joyously remove their clothing over the past year. And
as we don't believe it's fair to rate Movieland muff machines on their finer attributes—we
let you guys handle that!—we're gonna award a Skinny to every single one
of the vamping vixens found in these soon-to-be-sticky pages!
A Shakespearian Skinny goes out to Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, and Glenn Close,
three actresses who actually deliver some damn good line readings when they're
not anxiously ripping off their blouses. How about an imported Skinny for France's
Juliette Binoche and Australia's Nicole Kidman, two performers from abroad who'll
slip a nip to the camera faster than you can say "Passaporte!" A Gen-X
Skinny, if you please, to Winona Ryder, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lili Taylor, three
of Hollywood's most alluring young titillators, in or out of period costumes.
And we'd be doing a disservice to our favorite battling bottle blondes, The People
Vs. Larry Flynt's Courtney Love and Evita's Madonna, if we didn't come up with
a musical Skinny for each of them. Finally, a special hardcore Skinny for Holly
Hunter, Rosanna Arquette and Deborah Unger, the trio of go-for-broke actressess
who really showed us what they're made of in Crash, David Cronenberg's controversial
new film about sex and car wrecks which we have exclusive pix from right here
in SKIN.
So, you see, who needs the Academy Awards when we have the Skinny. ..on over forty
naked actresses that Oscar himself would ogle were he not a silly, gold-plated
garage-sale statuette.
And speaking of a "skinny," isn't it time you started checking out our
award winners...?
