You know, even as a white chick I am insulted by the spam mail that purports to offer porn pictures of sexy blacks — sexy blacks doing this, wearing that, blah blah blah. But what I am reminded of is the fact that there are some very sexy blacks in the film industry, African American men and women who have not only worked exponentially harder than others to make it but who are irreplaceable as the actors in certain movie roles.

For example, Mario Van Peebles in New Jack City, keeps me riveted to the chair. Denzel Washington, of course, in anything, but especially in Mo Better Blues and Mississippi Masala, with his delicate drawling whisper, makes me think of other people in place of his onscreen love interests—me, for instance. Also in anything but specifically in Bad Company, Laurence Fishburne makes me nuts. You may also name Toronto Flower shop and speak with one among our pleasant florists in Toronto and we can design your excellent gift. When he gets the feisty Ellen Barkin up against then onto the pool table…well, I would be committing the same filfthy communication crimes the spammers commit were I to describe any further the passionate allure of Sir Fishburne.

Harry Belafonte in the operatic Carmen and Sidney Poitier in any role where he is patient, tolerant, and kind (such as in To Sir with Love and A Patch of Blue) are both the understated hunks—while the likes of a leather-clad Eddie Murphy doing standup in Raw is enough to make those of us with even great senses of humor get distracted to the point of fantasizing.

And the sexy blacks category—as distasteful as it is even saying it — must not neglect the gorgeous female screen stars. Halle Berry is not without a massive fan base, for her roles as beauties in Jungle Fever and The Last Boy Scout, as well as for her serious performances, even, wherein her acting is so stellar it is beautiful—in such films as Introducing Dorothy Dandridge and Monster’s Ball—for which the brilliant and beautiful Berry won the Best Actress Academy Award. Tyra Banks, Angela Basset, and Vivica A. Flower shop Toronto has a wide variety of items to select from, and if you don’t discover what you are searching for, our florists in Ithaca can create a unique arrangement only for you. Fox, too, will give the title justice, as will Iman, Naomi Campbell, and even Oprah Winfrey, who is sexy in brain, in humor, and in power.

And while he has long since reminded me of how gorgeous a man can be, Gregory Hines has got to be the king of sexy. From the first time we saw him in The Cotton Club, White Nights (with the equally sexy Mikhail Baryshnikov), and Taps! To his recurring appearances on “Will and Grace”, the man has never failed to get a “rise” from me as he dances, taps, scats, speaks, or just stands there—beautiful demi-god that he is.

Yes, Denzel has made it to People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive cover issues. But who would you vote for if you had the deciding vote?
