Katrina Bowden, Sexiest Woman Alive (And In Her Underwear!)

We come here not to complain about Esquire's ridiculous number of "Sexiest Woman" awards, but rather to praise Katrina Bowden, who's been voted "Sexiest Woman Alive" by an eager team of Esquire readers—an honor that's been commemorated with a photo shoot of Katrina in her skivvies.

Because, sure: with all the most beautiful this and sexiest that and other sexiest something, it sorta feels like Esquire is just fishing around for meaningless awards to laud upon gorgeous female celebrities in a desperate attempt to get them to sexily pose for their magazine. But hey: it's a successful attempt to get gorgeous female celebrities to sexily pose for their magazine. And they deserve props for that, right?
