Hot Smart Chicks

Tysgirl recently asked me, after that link to Heidi Klum brainlessly playing with her boobs, (really, for all I know Heidi could be a part-time quantum physicist when not modeling underwear, but I kind of doubt it), if I thought any smart women were hot, which seemed irrelevant to me since the link connected you to a picture of Heidi Klum playing with her boobs and that should be good enough, but nonetheless it led me to some soul-searching, which in turn led to the realization that I don't have a soul, and second led me to try to figure out who I think is the best combination of brains and beauty out there.

Ladies & Gentleman, (and the rest of you), I give you

Jennifer Connelly

Putting aside the combination of a Yale/Stanford education, (while I'm not sure she got a degree from either institution, she did get in, and I have to respect that, as the only way yours truly would be getting in to either of those places would involve a ski mask and bolt cutters), she's an Oscar winning actress who seems to have little problem shedding her clothing. She starred in one of my favorite movies ever, "Requiem For A Dream", which I think everyone should see as long as they know up front that they're ain't gonna be no happy ending for pretty much anyone in the film, and don't get to attached to Jared Leto's character. Also, Jennifer does a lesbian sex scene with a double-ended dildo that isn't the least bit hot. And I'm not even kidding about that. And if a movie and an actress can make me say that, well, it's either the worst porn movie ever and one of the actresses is actually a donkey, (don't judge me), or it's just a great, great film. Perhaps more importantly, Connelly's horse-riding scene from the movie "Career Opportunities"
might be one of the hottest scenes involving a fully clothed actress you're ever likely to see. Also that movie launched the stellar movie career of someone named Frank Whalley.

So anyway, that's my nominee for hottest smart chick. Feel free to submit your own.
