With just about every year-end review in mainstream media going on about how badly behaved celebrities were in 2006, we should point out that the ten finalists in our list of our favorite crush objects of the year acted with perfect propriety over the last twelve months—it is, after all, their job to show off as much of themselves as often as possible. So without further ado, check out Fleshbot's Top Ten Crush Objects of 2006 after the jump. And remember: no matter how big they get come 2007 and beyond, you'll always be able to say you knew them when.

Joanna Angel

Even if she weren't our democratically elected Fleshbot Commandress-in-Chief—and though we're bending our own self-imposed rule not to repeat any of the finalists in last year's list this time around by including her here—Joanna Angel deserves a spot in this roster for her work ethic alone: in addition to directing and starring in a handful of films as part of her VCA contract, she still manages to find the time to keep her home base Burning Angel on the cutting edge of alt smut. And she does it all while traipsing back and forth between the east and west coasts like the jet-setting porn goddess that she is. Truly an inspiration to us all.

Anna Logue

Sexy geeklet Anna Logue rubs our motherboards in all the right ways. Unlike many other "geek girl" sites where topless coders are the exception rather than the rule, Anna gets down and dirty with everything from stylesheets to between-the-sheets (and beyond) exhibitionistic sex play. Plus, any self-described "dorky, nerdy, bisexual, polyamorous" bookworm who fills out a pair of white cotton panties can hack our hard drives any day of the week.

April Flores

In a landscape of willowy porn babes. April Flores' unabashed (and all-natural) extra-curviness is a refreshing antidote to the two-beach-balls-on-a-stick look; even her alter ego (= Fatty Delicious) lets you know that she's not your average adult performer. April managed to get (relatively) mainstream porn exposure opposite Belladonna in "Evil Pink 2" this year; let's hope the industry gives her more chances to shake her stuff.

Kimberly Kane

Oh Kimberly, when we met you we felt like that scene in "Terms of Endearment" when Jack Nicholson leans over to Shirley Maclaine and asks, "You're not fun, by any chance, are you?" Well you are fun, Kimberly. Don't hide your light under a mushroom. Or whatever people say to hot girls these days.

Sophia Santi

You were left off the cover of "Island Fever 4" because you were bigger than those other girls. In person, you still appear tiny. That is how small porn girls are (and not, just so you know, how morbidly obese we are). But no matter what your name is or where your allegiances lie, you are still a gata gostosa to us. (That's "tasty cat" in Portuguese. And we mean it in the best possible way.)

Mika Tan

It isn't just for being the adult industry's go-to geisha that Mika Tan is nominated for the Most Valuable Starlet at this year's AVN Awards; not only does she bring a plucky enthusiasm and a wicked sense of humor to everything she does, she can also squirt on cue. If that's not the measure of a consumate porn professional, we don't know what is.

Michelle Aston

In other occupations one must be a 60-year-old cabdriver/hashslinger/bartendrix to be considered a tough broad, but Aston's zesty attitude and "I'll fuck your girlfriend for you" aesthetic warmed our hearts. We want to be like Aston (and other verbs concerning Aston) when we grow up.

Justine Joli

The subject of countless dirty daydreams over the years among the Fleshbot editorial staff alone, we'd think that Justine Joli was one of those impossibly remote porn fantasy objects if we didn't also know that she happens to be one of the friendliest, most down-to-earth, and adorably geeky gals in the adult biz. Good thing she's officially coupled (last time we checked, anyway) or we'd be emptying out our piggy banks every week buying up her used panties. (Hey, we might be pervs, but we're respectful pervs.)

Keeley Hazell

Not counting a few random babelog appearances in 2005, Keeley Hazell pretty much came out of nowhere to become the most blogged-about babe on Fleshbot this year—and apparently, you can't get enough of her either. Although we hope to keep seeing more of Keeley in 2007, we're hoping to hear more of her too; as adorable as that accent is, there's only so many times we can replay the same introduction to all those Zoo Magazine clips she stars in to hear it.

Dana DeArmond

It should come as no surpise to Fleshbot readers that Dana DeArmond earns our top spot here: no one else so effortlessly straddles the worlds of alt smut, Porn Valley, fetish, and good old-fashioned geekery quite like she does ... or looks as good doing it. Besides, 300,000 MySpace friends can't be wrong.
