Most Desirable Women of 2009

2009 lies before us like an unsullied field of snow, and all we can see for the next 12 months is possibility. And of course, as red-blooded American men, that possibility is directly related to beautiful women.

Who has maximum potential for sexy in 2009, and what once-towering paragons of hotness will fall by the wayside? We combed through Ask Men’s comprehensive Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2009 list in order to select our picks for which women we’ll be drooling over in 2009 … and which we’re just over. If you’re dreaming about new ladies to date, consider this your reference list for the future — not that any of them would ever talk to you.

Women We’ll Love #10: Cassie – Model, actress, dancer and R&B singer with a hit single? Is there anything this one-name wonder can’t do?

Women We’ll Love #9: Bianca Beauchamp – If you haven’t heard of her, it’s probably because your reading material is a little too high-brow. The buxom fetish model has posed for Bizarre, Heavy Rubber, Marquis, Nightlife, Penthouse, Playboy, Skin Two and Whiplash.

Women We’ll Love #8: Odette Yustman – We’re hoping that panty-clad poster for “The Unborn” is just a hint of what’s to come for the lovely actress in 2009.

Women We’ll Love #7: Sarah Shahi – The Iranian-American model, actress and former NFL cheerleader is currently working her way up the Maxim Hot 100 list and starring on the TV show “Life.”

Women We’ll Love #6: Paz Vega – Once this foxy Spanish actress marches in the hotness parade that is “The Spirit,” we expect her to become much better known in 2009.

Women We’ll Love #5: Dania Ramirez – The Dominican-American actress’s eye-bleeding character on “Heroes” may have kind of sucked, but there’s something about Dania Ramirez we like.

Women We’ll Love #4: Holly Weber – With credits such as “beautiful,” “dream girl” and “bikini acting character,” we think this model and actress is really going somewhere.

Women We’ll Love #3: Aishwarya Rai – This Bollywood actress and former Miss World is often referred to as “the most beautiful woman in the world.” We concur.

Women We’ll Love #2: Christina Hendricks – A head of flaming red locks, an hourglass body built for sin, and a plum role on hit TV show “Mad Men” — things that make you say YOWZA.
