She topped New York magazine in a corset in March, but the pop culture world first noticed Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway on AMC's Mad Men.
Since then the starlet has stolen every red carpet she has ever walked. Now the sexy red head is stealing every man's heart in the May issue of Esquire as their choice for "Sexiest Woman Alive." This year Hendricks bested other usually list toppers Megan Fox and Andrina Lima for the honors.
Highlights of Hendricks tell all to Esquire,
On Men's Bodies:
"If we're in love with you, we love your body. Your potbelly, everything. Even if you're insecure about something, we love your body. You feel like you're not this or that? We love your body. We embrace everything. Because it's you."
On Men's Aromas:
"Any woman who is currently with a man is with him partly because she loves the way he smells. And if we haven't smelled you for a day or two and then we suddenly are within inches of you, we swoon. We get light-headed. It's intoxicating. It's heady."
On Men's Remarks About Other Women:
"We remember forever what you say about the bodies of other women. When you mention in passing that a certain woman is attractive — could be someone in the office, a woman on the street, a celebrity, any woman in the world, really — your comment goes into a steel box and it stays there forever."
On Remarks About Women's Friends:
"Never complain about our friends — even if we do. No matter how many times we say a friend of ours is driving us crazy, you are not to pile on. Not because it offends us. But because it adds to the weight that we carry around about her."
On What Real Men Drink:
"We want you to order Scotch. It's the most impressive drink order. It's classic. It's sexy. Such a rich color. The glass, the smell. It's not watered down with fruit juice. It's Scotch. And you ordered it."
