Hot or Not: Heidi Klum Topless in Esquire

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

Okay, there really isn't much question on this one, is there? We were kind of kidding about the "hot or not" part just to make you click.

In our latest installment of hot topless women on the covers of American magazines, we have Heidi Klum in Esquire. Unfortunately, we are sick to death of all reality shows and, in particular, reality show hosts. Especially ones that are married to Seal, whom we dislike for that song of his we hear every time we're in C-Town with a hangover.

In any case, fans must wonder why these photos are going up online now-- perhaps to celebrate Project Runway's move to-- gulp-- the Lifetime Television Network? Well, if this is the new look of Lifetime, we may finally stop for more than four seconds when we get to it...

 

 


The rest of the photos by Rankin are archived here in a blog post from over the weekend.

These were mainly unavailable online until then, so so what if the original Esquire feature is two years old? You want us to take these down? We thought not.

And don't forget to vote in our Who Would You Rather? poll, featuring two other reality show stars...

Sorta hot.  Definitely obvious.  Would rather have some Gordon Ramsey shirtless shots.

Actually, unless the pound is more powerful than I realized, that's British Esquire.

It is indeed British Esquire.

I just like their versions better. And it was already on the blog. And who knows, maybe it wasn't ever even on the cover of the American version. Losers.

I honestly can't say I've evert noticed this woman before (is she Leonardo's ex? Or to put it another way, who gives a fuck?). But these images, trite and obvious as they are, bypass all my conscious aesthetics and higher brain functions and operate directly on the area marked 'partially clothed woman fetish'.

Wearing nothing but red and black, stripey, knee-high, motherfucking socks? How....did....she....know.....?.....
