Mature Zone

Many magazines come up with 'Sexiest Women' lists -- heck, we all enjoyed one very recently.

But very few men's magazines have the clout of Playboy.

The magazine has just crowned Scarlett Johansson the sexiest woman alive, in a list of 25 hotties.

While there are usual suspects like Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie, we decided to look at the others.

So click on, for an introduction to the sexiest women in the world -- the ones you haven't met yet.

And at the end, you get to vote for your fave. Enjoy.

Charisma Carpenter

The sexiest thing in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Charisma has 4 tattoos -- a tribal sun on her lower back, a rosary on her left wrist, D2 on the inside of her right wrist to represent the names of her husband and son, and the infinity symbol on her left ring finger beneath her wedding ring.She's married? Damn.

Cindy Margolis

The Internet helped Margolis emerge as a star. She created her own website, and found her way into the 2000 Guinness Book of World Records as a result of being the 'most downloaded' person in 1999.

Yeah, as if that's a surprise

Diora Baird

Her breakthrough moment was a nude scene in Wedding Crashers, and while her modelling agency might have pronounced the 23-year-old 'too large' (ahem) for the ramp, Hollywood is surely pretty glad.

Jaime Pressly

She's not just hot. Jaime's an Emmy Award nominated actress and sensational star of sitcom My Name Is Earl.

We'd love her even if she didn't act.

Joanna Krupa

A Maxim favourite, Joanna loves playing poker and is currently the official spokesperson for an online poker room.

We'd learn if she taught us, honest.

 Kelly Monaco

Kelly played Susan in Baywatch, before joining soap opera General Hospital. She's most remembered, however, for her wardrobe malfuntion in Dancing With The Stars (the original Nach Baliye), which she won.

Lucky bloody judges.

 Mercedes McNab

Yet another Buffy beauty, the daughter of English soccer player Bob McNab seems to have a perfect name:

we all want to look under that hood.

Vida Guerra

She's got the derriere to kill for, and is widely known as the woman with the sexiest posterior in the world.

We discovered the front isn't unspectacular either.

Willa Ford

This is the kind of popstar we like.

The kind who fights to call her album P**n Poetry but finally settles for naming it Sexysexobsessive.

Works for us.
