Ah, the “laminated list”… Popularized by the show Friends, the laminated list is a list containing the names of celebrities your partner will not hold against you should you get the opportunity to bed them.
While I’m not currently under the thumb of any such female, I thought it might be interesting to share who’s on mine.

- Charisma Carpenter — This might seem an odd choice since the Buffy, Angel, and Veronica Mars alum isn’t even on most guys’ radar. All I know is that I fell in lust with her the first time I saw her, and I’ve yet to change my mind.
- Michelle Pfeiffer — I don’t remember what I first saw her in, but Ms. Pfeiffer has been a stunner for as long as I can remember. While she’s the oldest woman on this list, I don’t think she’s lost anything over the years.
- Catherine Zeta Jones — Much like Michael Douglas, when I watched The Mask of Zorro, my breath literally left my body. Unlike Mr. Douglas, I didn’t have the resources to track her down and marry her. Life isn’t fair…
- Angelina Jolie — Yeah, yeah… Angelina’s on every straight guy’s list. But come on, we’re talking someone who’s only gotten better-looking with time. I didn’t think all that much of her in Hackers, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen during Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
- Megan Fox — When Bumblebee got his hood lifted in the first Transformers movie, I got something of my own lifted. Seriously, those eyes, those lips, those abs, those huge… tracts of land. Megan’s got it all.
- Famke Janssen — Whether playing a Bond villain or an X-Man, Famke’s tight bod and those “come get some” eyes could make a grown man cry.
- Kate Beckinsale — You fell in love with her leather-clad Selene in the Underworld movies, but the corset in Van Helsing really took the cake. Add the British accent, and your toes curl.
- Michelle Yeoh — This Asian superstar is another who’s maintained her allure over the years. In fact, I’m not sure time hasn’t stopped for her. Go back and watch Heroic Trio and then watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There really isn’t much difference.
- Dita Von Teese — Look, I don’t care if she banged Marilyn Manson for eight years, the reigning queen of burlesque is built like a brick shithouse, and I’d be willing to do things to her that’d probably get me life in prison.
- Eva Mendes — If I have to explain why this sultry Latina is on this list, then you need to go rent a few of her movies.
Honorable Mentions:
- Eliza Dushku
- Jessica Biel
- Vanessa Williams
- Aishwarya Rai
- Gillian Anderson
UPDATE: Matt’s posted his (somewhat inferior) list, too.
