The Top 10 Hottest Canadian Women..... (according to Connielingus) THE FINALE!
Er, hello....
Finally. # 1 and #2 - so close, it could've gone either way.
Nevertheless, it is well worth the wait.... don't burn yer lips.
#2 SOOK YIN LEE
Everyones favorite Vancouver, BC Born Bisexual Ex-MuchMusic VJ comes in a strong second place.
As a young and impressionable alternative music loving teenage riot grrrl in the mid 90's, Sook Yin Lee was a bright light at the end of my dark baggy clothes wearing, kool-aid hair dying, Doc Marten stomping mess of a life.
Beautiful and cool. Smart and witty. The woman who introduced me to the Smashing Pumpkins one afternoon on "The Wedge".
There was no denying I had a big screwed-up sexual-identity crush on her.
- I suppose I still do....
Out of pure love and devotion I religiously listen to her discerning pop-culture radio show Definitely Not The Opera every Saturday afternoon on the CBC.
***** #1 FEIST *****
My. god. alive.
The most beautiful woman. The most beautiful voice. The coolest life story. Ever.
Uuuuuuuhhhhh
drool drool
I stole this little Bio from Always On The Run......
A perfect summation.
She was born Leslie Feist in Calgary in the mid-'70s but goes by her surname when it comes to making music for a living.
The Jhay-inspired songstress got her start playing in a high-school punk band called Placebo (not to be confused with the U.K. modern rock act of the same name). After winning a battle of the bands contest, Placebo played their first gig opening for the Ramones, and for the next five years, Feist perfected her rock ways. Touring cross-Canada in the end took its tool on Feist. She had strained her voice so much, she was told she'd never sing again.
To regain focus and medical assistance from another specialist, Feist fled her hometown to settle in Toronto in 1998. She spent six months holed up by herself in a basement with a four-track recorder. She bought a guitar as a means of temporarily replacing her voice and began crafting a natural pop sound. A year later, Feist was playing guitar for By Divine Right. She went on to play in front of countless stadium crowds as By Divine Right opened for the Tragically Hip across North America. Somewhere in between touring with some of Canada's biggest acts, Feist found time to record and self-released her first solo album, 1999's Monarch (Lay Down Your Jeweled Head).
After playing some smaller local gigs in and around Toronto, Feist moved in with electroclash rap vixen Peaches in 2000. Peaches christened Feist Bitch Lap-Lap and from there, Feist sang on and toured in support of Peaches' debut album, Teaches of Peaches.
Not one to stay too long in once place, Feist joined Broken Social Scene in the recording of their sophomore effort, You Forgot It in People. The album, which was released in 2002, became a critical success among the indie crowds after winning a Juno Award for "Alternative Album of the Year in 2003.
........Whilst you peruse the official FEIST website I must now go off and swap my slippery knickers.
Cheers.

D.N.T.O - I wondered who the other listeners were... Sook Yin is very beautiful - excellent choice as number 2 of the hottest canadians - I would have gladly seen her as number one...
I guess I have my asian fetish :)
Feist rules. I used to think I was gay and in highschool I told my class that I was but then I changed my mind. It's kinda funny.
You should read my blog.
good choices...and i listen to the podcast of DNTO. i assume you've seen shortbus?
anyways, one question - where's emily haines on this list??
This really sucks. If I dressed in drag, I'd be hotter than most of your 'hotties'. What a total letdown; please, please, please represent Canada better than this...
