MARCH MADNESS, THE SQUEAKQUEL: In an apparent effort to democratize its Sexiest Woman Alive franchise, Esquire is running its own bracket of races, with four "divisions" (music and fashion, television, sports, and movies)-- a few matchups of note:
  • Alessandria Ambrosio (2 seed) v. Miranda Kerr (15 seed)--A legit shot for a 15/2 upset there, I think.
  • Blake Lively (1 seed) v. Heidi Klum (16 seed)--Lively has a tough road for a top seed, given how tough the "region" is, potentially having to beat out 8 seed Minka Kelly, and 4 seed Christina Hendricks as well as Klum just to make it to the Elite 8.
  • Christina Hendricks (4 seed) v. January Jones (13 seed)
  • Anne Hathaway (8 seed) v. Rachel McAdams (9 seed)--these two have a tough first round matchup, but then face the winner of Megan Fox/Helen Mirren, which could lead to a #1 being bounced early.
  • The other two top seeds are Beyonce and Natalie Gulbis.
This seems worthy of serious bracketology analysis.
