2012 Vanity Post, Part 1

I have recently had requests to do a vanity blog post looking at some of the actors and actresses that rate highly in regards to pulchritude.  As a writer, I find the attractiveness of an actress is tied greatly to the character they are playing onscreen.  For instance, I really like Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts in Iron Man and am ambivalent to her in pretty much everything else.  I have just recently passed the one year mark for Shinsanity.com so I thought it would be interesting to take a look back at the one hundred movies I have reviewed in the last year and highlight the ten female characters I found most attractive/compelling.  In the interest of equality, I will with the help of some friends come up with a list of actors.
