The Pseudo-Science of a Star's Hotness
A website with a humble purpose: to scientifically ascertain the peak of a given actor or actress’s hotness.

Well, maybe we can start with this data point and work from there. Maybe there's data to be mined about 'average age of hotness' or something.

For the love all that it holy never put the Olson twins on that site!

I'd hate to see what percentage would mark "Full House."

I know this is impractical, but you really have to be collecting some demographics for your voters. You're losing a tremendous amount of structure not knowing which voters are male and which female, for example.

Maybe you could funnel viewers into one of two substantively identical but differently skinned versions of the site, depending on their sex. Like, click "I'm a dude" at a splash page and you see a baby-blue version of the site, essentially no extra design work, and the data is separated by sex (roughly).
