HyerStandard’s First Annual: “The Official Girls of Summer”

June 30, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Let me begin by explaining how this came about. It all stems from an argument I had with a good friend of mine regarding certain celebrities from the world of movies, music, and television were on top of at least our own personal radar. Anyways, to make a long story short, we disagreed - and seeing as though I have a website and he doesn’t, I have decided to list mine, well to make my point.

So whether you are a fan of it or not, at least now you know why I have decided to put together and subsequently list w/pictures my own personal “Official Girls of Summer” list. Hope you enjoy:

1) Sheri Moon Zombie: (born September 26, 1970) is an American actress and fashion designer. She is known by her stage name Sheri Moon and sometimes as Sheri Moon Zombie after her marriage to Rob Zombie. Because of her roles in such films as House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects and the remake Halloween, she has been named as a “scream queen” and “the most iconic female serial killer to emerge on the modern horror scene.”

2) Eva Mendes: (born March 5, 1974) is an American actress. She began acting in the late 1990s, and became known after a series of roles in several major Hollywood films, including 2 Fast 2 Furious, Hitch, Training Day, Ghost Rider and We Own the Night. Along with acting, Eva is employed by Revlon Cosmetics as an international spokeswoman. Maxim ranked her #7 in its 2007 Hot 100 issue. Mendes also made her second Maxim cover in the November 2007 issue. Mendes, despite resisting offers from Playboy, appeared naked in Flaunt Magazine.

3) Meagan Good: (born August 8, 1981) is an American film and television actress. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, she continued to land roles in television series and films. In addition to film and television work, Good has also appeared in music videos by Will Smith, 50 Cent, & K-Ci & JoJo. In 2006, Good voiced a character for the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours. That same year, she appeared in Waist Deep with Tyrese Gibson and produced her first film, Miles From Home, in which she also co-starred.

4) Rosario Dawson: (born May 9, 1979) is an American actress and singer, perhaps best known for her roles in the films Sin City, He Got Game, Kids, Rent and most recently as a lead character in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof. On June 26th, 2008, it was announced that Dawson will play Artemis in the upcoming animated Wonder Woman film. Rosario was discovered on her front porch step by photographer Larry Clark and Harmony Korine, where Harmony lauded her with praise as being perfect for a part he had written in his screenplay that would become the 1995 controversial films Kids.

5) Megan Fox: (born May 16, 1986) is an American actress and model. Fox’s career in modeling and acting began with her winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Fox’s big break arrived when she acquired the lead female role of Mikaela Banes in the highly-anticipated 2007 live-action film Transformers, based on the toy and cartoon saga of the same name. Fox has appeared in a five page spread for the November 2005 issue of the popular men’s magazine FHM. She also posed, in decreasing amounts of lingerie, for the March 2007 issue of FHM, the June 2007 issue of GQ, the July 2007 issue of Maxim, and the September 2007 issue of Arena. She was voted the Sexiest Woman in the World by FHM magazine in 2008, beating out Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba.

There you have it, HyerStandard’s “Official Girls of Summer” list. If you have any issues with either the list, or the girls making the list please feel free to leave any feedback, and I will definitely take it into consideration - but probably not change a thing.
