Every year around this time, the American men's magazines issue their annual "hot lists," which often feature women who leave us scratching our heads. (Lindsay Lohan? Paris Hilton?)

So last year, we asked you to tell us about the women you found attractive, and the response was overwhelming. Not only did we get deluged with votes, but mainstream newspapers, blogs, radio stations and even TV shows picked up the results, because apparently everyone is interested in who lesbians find attractive (needless to say, our list was a little different than the ones in the men's magazines).

The AfterEllen.com Hot 100 is all about telling the world who lesbian and bi women think are sexy — and even with all the increased visibility we've had in the last decade, that's still a little bit revolutionary.

Now it's time to submit your votes for this year's AfterEllen.com Hot 100 — the 10 women you think are the hottest women on the planet. They can be gay or straight, young or old, and of any race or nationality — basically, any woman who turns you on. The woman with the most votes will be No. 1, the woman with the second highest number of votes will be No. 2, and so on down the list (which means it doesn't matter in what order you list the names in the form below).

Voting will stay open until May 15, and then we'll publish the results on Monday, June 2. To keep you entertained in between, we'll feature one of the 100 on the blog each weekday from May 16th to 30th, and you can guess where she landed on the list.

One request: So that we can get a true picture of who lesbian and bi women find attractive, please don't vote more than once. We've set up the form to count only the last vote from a specific IP address, so ballot stuffing will be wasted effort, anyway. And if you submit the same name 10 times, it will only count once, so don't try that either! (We're on to you lesbians and your tricky ways!)

If you have any questions before you vote, you can leave them in the Hot 100 nominations forum thread, and we'll try to answer them there.

VOTING FOR THE 2008 HOT 100 IS NOW CLOSED. LOOK FOR THE RESULTS ON JUNE 2ND!
